A reader for your comic library.
InkStrip is a warm, archival comic reader for iPhone and iPad. Your comics stay on your device or in cloud folders you already control. No uploads. No ads. No tracking.

Your files, your device
InkStrip never uploads your comic files. They stay on your device, or in cloud folders you connect — iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox — under your control.
Open formats
Read CBZ, CBR, and PDF straight from the folders you already use. No re-encoding, no proprietary library lock-in.
Reader that respects the page
Left-to-right, right-to-left, vertical scroll, two-page spreads. Per-series overrides. Brightness and chrome controls that stay out of your way.
Cross-device sync (Pro)
Pick up where you left off on another device. Only your reading progress and preferences sync — never your comic files.
No ads, no tracking
No IDFA. No advertising SDKs. No App Tracking Transparency prompt because we have nothing to ask permission for.
Reading stats that stay private
Pages read, sessions, time spent — kept on your device. If you upgrade to Pro, they sync; nothing leaves your account.

Frequently asked.
Do you host or stream my comics?
No. InkStrip reads files from your device or from cloud folders you already own. We never upload, host, or stream your comic files.
What file formats does it support?
CBZ, CBR, and PDF. We follow archive-safety best practices (size and entry limits, path-traversal protection, symlink rejection, image-type allow-list).
What’s the difference between Free and Pro?
Free reads your local and cloud-folder libraries with the full reading experience. Pro adds cross-device sync of reading progress and preferences. Pricing will be announced at App Store launch.
If my Pro subscription ends, do I lose anything?
No. Your local comics, reading progress, and preferences stay intact. Cross-device sync stops; we retain synced data for 90 days in case you renew, then delete it.
How can I delete my account and data?
During the beta, email privacy@themattlabs.com. A self-serve in-app deletion flow ships before the public App Store launch. See our account deletion page for details.
Is InkStrip suitable for children?
InkStrip is intended for users aged 13 and over (16+ in the EU, 18+ in the UK where required by the Age Appropriate Design Code). It is not designed under Apple’s Kids Category.
