What is Paperbunkr?

Paperbunkr is a free, local-first desktop library and reader for comics and manga — a from-scratch rewrite of ComicRack built on .NET and Avalonia UI, currently packaged for Windows. It reads CBZ, CBR, and PDF comics, and EPUB, PDF, FB2, and MOBI/AZW3 books, with a full library manager, a custom reader, rich metadata editing, and an installable plugin ecosystem.

Your library, reading progress, and settings never leave your machine. There is no cloud dependency, no account, and no client-server model like Komga or Kavita — Paperbunkr is a desktop app that points at folders of files you already own and keeps a local SQLite database alongside them.
