Maru - ComicViewer/TextReader

What Maru Does

Maru - ComicViewer/TextReader is a local library reader for comics, ebooks, and other text-based files on Android. It suits readers who keep their own collection rather than relying on a single subscription service. The app can open common formats such as PDF and EPUB, along with compressed archives including ALZ and EGG and image formats such as AVIF.

Reading Tools

Maru supports different layouts for different kinds of reading. A webtoon scroll mode is intended for long vertical pages, while double-page display is available for manga and other fixed-page material. Text reading can be adjusted with controls such as font spacing, backgrounds, and text-to-speech settings. TTS includes speed control and options for excluding selected characters.

• Read comics and text from supported files and archives.
• Switch between vertical scrolling and page-based layouts.
• Use text-to-speech for hands-free listening.
• Control pages with Samsung S Pen input or Bluetooth media buttons.

Libraries and Remote Storage

The app is also built for collections stored outside the phone. It can connect to FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, and Google Drive locations, allowing users to browse material on a computer, network storage, or cloud account. Its file-directory approach will make the most sense to people who organize large libraries in folders. Reading history markers and quick page jumping help when returning to several ongoing books.
