RexyRead
RexyRead is a beautifully designed reader for the comics, manga, novels, and PDFs you already own. Pair it to your RexyServer and your whole library follows you to every Apple device.
Built different
Purpose-built for self-hosted reading. Fast, native, and completely free.
Deep dives
Comics and manga get a purpose-built page-flipping canvas with right-to-left support, double-page spreads, and gesture controls. Novels render through a mature EPUB engine so books look the way the publisher intended.
Long-press a word in a novel for an instant dictionary lookup. Drop a highlight in five colors with an optional note. Bookmark a chapter. Everything syncs back to RexyServer so your next device sees the same notes.
PDFs render page-by-page in the same reader UI as comics, with progress tracked the same way as everything else.
Reading progress is page-accurate and updates in real time. Start a chapter on your phone during lunch, open the iPad after dinner, and you're on the same page within seconds.
Per-user profiles mean every member of the household gets their own progress, their own bookmarks, their own avatar. The profile picker is two taps away from anywhere in the app.
If your server is unreachable, progress is queued locally and flushed the moment it comes back — you never lose a page.
RexyRead talks directly to your server over your LAN, with TLS certificate pinning to make sure it can't be intercepted. Pairing happens once, via QR code or a typed pairing string. After that, every request is signed with a per-device API key you can revoke at any time.
Need access while traveling? Install Tailscale on RexyServer and on whichever device you're traveling with, and your library is reachable from anywhere — as if you were home — without opening any ports or exposing your home network to the public internet.
There is no RexyRead account. There is no cloud sync. There is no telemetry. Your reading is yours and it stays where you keep it.
