Komga reader for iPhone and iPad

What to look for in a Komga reader on iPhone

• Native API, not only OPDS. TritonPanels talks to Komga natively. Progress syncs both ways. OPDS 1 and OPDS 2, including Calibre, are read-only.
• Two-way progress. Mark a book on the phone and Komga sees it. Open it on another device on the same server and the place comes back.
• Offline. Keep a book, a folder or a library on the device.
• Remote access that the phone will accept. HTTPS on a public name, or Tailscale *.ts.net via Serve.

The cross-platform hub is the Komga app page. The start-to-finish walk-through is setting up Komga or Kavita for mobile reading.

Connecting on iPhone and iPad

Allow Local Network access when iOS asks, or a server on your home network will not answer. Sign in with an API key or a password. Choose an address TritonPanels 2.0.1 accepts. The address table is in the mobile setup guide.

Away from home

Using Tailscale is the easiest safe route: the server’s HTTPS Tailscale Serve name (such as https://komga.your-tailnet.ts.net), with Tailscale running on the phone. Plain HTTP to 100.x addresses is refused. Self-signed certificates do not work. A public HTTPS name also works.

Reading on iPad

The same subscription covers iPhone and iPad. Books open single page, as spreads, in continuous scroll, or Panel by Panel. Manga can run right to left for pages, spreads and panels.

Price

No ads and no TritonPanels account. A 14-day free trial, then €0.49 a month or €4.99 a year in Ireland. iPhone and iPad need iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Android 7.0 or later is the other platform.

Other readers

Komga’s own documentation lists readers and OPDS clients on komga.org. This page is about TritonPanels.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a Komga app for iPhone and iPad?

TritonPanels connects natively to Komga on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. Progress syncs both ways. There is no Mac app.

Does TritonPanels sync Komga progress both ways on iPhone?

Yes. Reading progress is written to the Komga server and read back from it. There is no TritonPanels account.

Can I read Komga offline on iPhone?

Yes. Download a book, a folder or a whole library onto the device.

Does it work over Tailscale?

Yes. Use the server’s HTTPS Tailscale Serve name on a *.ts.net MagicDNS name, with Tailscale running on the phone. Plain HTTP to 100.x addresses and self-signed certificates do not work.

Why can’t my iPhone find my Komga server?

On iPhone and iPad, allow Local Network access when iOS asks, or a server on your home network will not answer. Use an API key or password, and an address TritonPanels accepts.

Is there a Mac version?

No. TritonPanels runs on iPhone, iPad and Android. There is no native Mac app and no web reader.
