What is Suwatte?
A reader for manga, manhwa, manhua, comics and novels on iPhone and iPad. You supply the content.
Suwatte is a reader. It holds no content of its own. It reads what you point it at, and it gives you one library for all of it.
The app is only as useful as the content that you connect to it. Do that first. This guide tells you how.
Where content comes from
There are three ways. Use any of them together.
| Route | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Plugins that read a website for you. You install them from a list address. | A series that continues |
| Servers | A Komga, a Kavita or an OPDS server that you operate. | A collection that you host |
| Local files | CBZ, CBR, PDF and EPUB files from the Files app. | A book that you own |
After a title is in your library, its origin does not matter. Progress, collections, flags, downloads and backups work the same for all of them.
What Suwatte does
- It reads. Four reading modes for paged and continuous formats. Separate readers for EPUB and PDF files.
- It organizes. Collections that you make, flags, filters, and a check for duplicates.
- It follows series. Update checks across your sources, with grouped results.
- It works offline. Chapter downloads that continue when you lose the network.
- It syncs. Your library goes between your devices through your own iCloud account.
What Suwatte does not do
- It does not come with sources. A new install has an empty library.
- It does not hold or send content from a server of ours. Each request goes from your device to the site that you configured.
- It does not need a Suwatte account.
What you need
An iPhone or an iPad with iOS 17 or a later version.
