Glimshelf

Native on iPhone & iPad

Your library.
Right where you left it.

A thoughtful reader for comics, manga, and books on the servers you already own. Glimshelf brings Komga, Kavita, OPDS, and local files together—without sending your library through somebody else's cloud.

Glimshelf for iOS
In active development

02 / THE READER

One quiet place for every kind of reading.

Comic archives, PDFs, and EPUBs belong in the same library. So do the reading lists, server collections, downloads, and progress that give that library shape.

Progress that tells the truth

Turn the page now.
Sync when the network returns.

Glimshelf is offline-first. It records progress on-device, queues updates when a server is unavailable, and surfaces conflicts instead of quietly choosing the wrong page.

Reading Orders

The story's order—not the file system's.

Import ComicRack reading lists, keep their sequence intact, and resume the next book across series and servers. Unmatched titles are reported plainly, never discarded.

Reading Orders and community CBL tools are planned for Glimshelf Pro.

04 / THE CONTRACT

Your shelves are not our dataset.

Glimshelf has no developer-operated account, no advertising network, and no third-party analytics SDK. Nimblor does not receive a copy of your library.

01

Direct connections

Your device talks to the servers and files you choose.

02

Credentials in Keychain

Server secrets stay in Apple's protected credential storage.

03

Portable by default

Free export and import means your notes and progress can leave with you.

05 / FIRST RELEASE

A full reader before a public beta.

Read freely

CBZ, CBR, PDF, and EPUB. Paged, right-to-left, vertical scroll, and considered double-page spreads.

Bring one server free

Full reading and progress sync for one Komga, Kavita, or OPDS server, plus unlimited local files.

Keep 25 books offline

The free tier includes real offline reading, a connection doctor, app lock, and portable backup.

Go further with Pro

Planned launch pricing: $24.99 lifetime or $9.99 per year, with a 21-day full-feature trial.

Pricing and availability are planned for launch and may change before App Store release.
