    YAC is my personal choice for reading local .cbz files. The app is apart of the full YAC suite of apps, which also includes a server for PC/Mac/Linux to serve your library to your mobile devices. These apps see consistent development, and the dev team is very responsive to feedback. It's a great product for anyone who wants to enjoy their local library of comics or manga.

Comments and Reviews

   
 Post comment/review
Comment summary: YACReader is highly appreciated for its seamless streaming capabilities from PC to iOS devices, excellent reading experience, beautiful interface, and ease of use. While it's recognized as a strong alternative to ComicRack with its simple library function, some users point at limitations in library management, specifically in folder exclusions and view options. The app is noted for active development, open-source availability, and consistent updates, though there are concerns about its pricing on iOS and changes in portability.

Not quite a true comicsrack alternative but t seems to be in active development and reasonably good.

Latest linux version decided to set itself as the default app for dozens of MIME types (including but not limited to zip files and folders) without asking. Bug or horrible design, don't know.
