Sutra — eBook Reader

Description

Sutra is the best way to read your books and comics — all of them, in one beautifully simple app.

Drop in your own EPUB, PDF, CBZ, or MOBI files — no server, no setup, no account. Or connect Kavita, Calibre, Komga, any OPDS catalog, Project Gutenberg's 75,000+ free classics, or Standard Ebooks' curated collection. However your books and comics reach your phone, Sutra reads them all beautifully, panel by panel where it counts, with everything backed up and synced along the way.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY • Every CBZ comic and comic-shaped MOBI book opens with a free 7-page preview — read before deciding whether to unlock Sutra Pro • Panel Mode, EPUB, and PDF reading are always completely free, no purchase required

READ COMICS PANEL BY PANEL • Sutra detects each comic page's individual panels and reads them one at a time — a tap or page-flip advances to the next panel instead of jumping the whole page, so every close-up lands exactly the way the artist drew it • Works on CBZ, PDF, and fixed-layout comic EPUB/MOBI; falls back gracefully to the full page when no panels are detected • Manga support: right-to-left reading direction, auto-detected from your files where available and adjustable per book, with dedicated panel detection tuned for manga-style pages

TRACK YOUR READING • A dedicated Stats tab: time read, your current streak, and a swipeable activity chart • See reading progress across every book in your library at a glance

BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS TOO • Connect any OPDS server: Kavita, Calibre, Komga, Grimmory, Booklore, or your own • WebDAV support: browse and download EPUB/PDF files from a WebDAV server (Synology and others), self-signed certificates included • Series from Kavita or Calibre auto-group into browsable Collections • Search all your libraries at once or narrow to one; optional HTTP support for servers without HTTPS, with a clear warning before you turn it on

JUST YOUR FILES — NO SERVER REQUIRED • Import EPUBs, PDFs, comics, or MOBI files straight from the Files app — no server, no account, no internet needed • Import a whole folder at once, covers and all — Sutra pulls real cover art and metadata automatically • Everything lives on your device, ready to read anywhere, anytime

THE READING EXPERIENCE YOU DESERVE • Gorgeous EPUB and PDF reading with an authentic page-curl you can tap or drag like turning a real book • Rich typography control: fonts, size, line spacing, alignment, bold text • Four carefully-designed reading themes, including a high-contrast option • Bookmarks, in-book search, and color-coded highlights that sync via iCloud • Two-Panel Reading on iPad: EPUB, MOBI, and PDF books show a facing-page spread in landscape, like an open book

EVERYTHING IN SYNC • Kavita and Komga libraries: page-accurate progress syncs both ways with your server • iCloud: reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and looked-up words sync automatically across iPhone and iPad — automatic, no setup, works offline

PERSONALIZED READING • Day, Night, Contrast, or System appearance — real dark themes for the whole app • Left-Handed Page Turns, Reduce Motion support, and accessibility-first design • Favorites, collections, and smart sorting (by series, date read, title) • Storage manager to free space with one tap

SUTRA PRO — UNLOCK THE FULL COLLECTION (optional, one-time purchase) • Komga libraries with native, page-accurate progress sync • CBZ comic reading in a fixed-layout, zoomable page reader, panel by panel • DRM-free MOBI books — import your existing Kindle-format library (no DRM) and read it in Sutra • One purchase, yours forever — no subscription, ever

EPUB and PDF reading, local file imports, and Panel Mode are completely free, no subscriptions, no ads, no paywall. Sutra Pro is a single one-time purchase that additionally unlocks Komga, CBZ, and MOBI. However you like to read, Sutra's built for it — and your books are always yours.
