Where stories find
their breath.
Calm readers for your own books and comics. No account, no subscription, no tracking.
Skrivist Books reads EPUB and PDF, Skrivist Comics steps through comics panel by panel, and Armarium, a free library server you run at home, serves your collection to both.

A Gentle Space
No feeds, no ads, no streaks. Set the text size and pick a page colour, from white to night. The apps add typefaces, OpenDyslexic among them.
Yours to Keep
Your books stay on your device and open without a connection. Books and Comics have no account to sign in to, and we keep no copy of your library.
Want your place on every device? Armarium syncs it with the Books apps (coming soon) and with Comics.
Open Catalogues
Bring DRM-free files from your own folders, or browse OPDS catalogues and download straight to your shelf. Comics also reads Kavita libraries.
