BiblioFuse is a native reader and personal library manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that supports EPUB, PDF, CBZ, CBR, RAR, ZIP, and text files. It is a one-time universal purchase — buy once and use across all supported Apple devices.

Which file formats does BiblioFuse support?

BiblioFuse supports EPUB, PDF, CBZ (comic zip archive), CBR (comic RAR archive), RAR, ZIP, and plain text files. It handles both standard ebook formats and image-based comic archives with paged or continuous reading modes.

Does BiblioFuse require an account or subscription?

No account is required. BiblioFuse is a one-time universal purchase that works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple ID. There is no subscription or recurring fee.

Can I stream books from my Mac to iPhone?

Yes. BiblioFuse on Mac includes a streaming server that lets you browse and open your Mac library from iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi. Remote access over mobile data is also supported when iCloud and Tailscale are configured on both devices.

Is my reading data kept private?

Yes. BiblioFuse processes all reading files locally on your device. Network features — Mac streaming, iCloud folders, SMB folders, Tailscale — are optional and only active when you enable them. No reading data is sent to any server.

Does BiblioFuse work offline after the first load?

Yes. BiblioFuse is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that caches its core assets after the first visit. Once loaded, you can open and read your locally stored EPUB, PDF, and CBZ files without an internet connection. Your library index and reading positions are saved in your browser's local storage and do not require a server connection. The initial load requires internet access to download the app shell, but subsequent sessions — including opening books stored on your device — work fully offline.

Local processing

Our local file, text and chart tools process content on your device using JavaScript, browser APIs and, where needed, WebAssembly. Our usage events do not include filenames, file contents, input text, chart values, raw errors, emails or license references. Network lookup tools (such as DNS, WHOIS, IP and speed tests) contact external services for their stated purpose. Loading the website, fonts, libraries and models also makes network requests. WebAssembly itself does not prevent network access.
