The Komga client for iPhone, iPad and Mac

You run Komga at home and you want a reader on your iPhone, iPad and Mac that respects how Komga is structured. Panels is that client. Sign in once, and your libraries, series and books show up the way you organised them, with reading progress writing back to Komga as you turn pages.

Progress writes back to Komga as you read

Panels uses Komga's progress API, so every page turn updates the server. Start an issue on iPad over breakfast, finish it on Mac at night, and Komga's web UI agrees on where you stopped. No duplicate state, no manual marking, no syncing through a third party cloud.

Libraries, series and books, intact

Panels mirrors Komga's hierarchy: libraries at the top, then series, then books, with metadata, cover art, read state and collections preserved. Browsing on iPad feels the same shape as your Komga web UI, just with a native reader underneath.

Multi user accounts, with the permissions you set

If your Komga server has multiple accounts with different library access, Panels respects that. Sign in as the user you want and you see only the libraries that user has permission to read.

Download a whole series for offline

Travelling, on a flight, away from your server? Download an entire series with one tap. The same reader handles streamed and downloaded books, so the experience does not change when the network does.

Frequently asked questions

Does Panels actually work with Komga?
Yes. Komga is one of the two servers we test against daily, alongside Kavita. We track Komga's OPDS and progress APIs as they evolve, so new Komga releases keep working.
Does reading progress sync back to my Komga server?
Yes. Panels writes page progress to Komga through its progress API, so your read state stays consistent between the Komga web UI, Panels on iPhone, Panels on iPad and Panels on Mac. No Panels account needed for this, your Komga account is the source of truth.
What URL do I use to connect?
Your Komga server URL, with /opds appended. Most setups use https://your-server/opds. You sign in with your normal Komga username and password.
I run Komga over HTTPS with a self signed certificate. Will that work?
Yes. Panels handles HTTPS, basic auth and self signed certificates. You can trust a certificate on a per server basis, which is the normal case for a Komga instance behind your own CA or a reverse proxy with an internal cert.
Can I read offline?
Yes. Download a single book or a full series to your device and read without a network. When you reconnect, progress syncs back to Komga automatically.
Where is the setup guide?
