Panely

Built to get out of your way

Chrome hides when you're reading. The viewer always takes the max space.

Single page, double-page spread, or vertical scroll for webtoons. Cycle with the toolbar or fit-mode shortcuts.

Open a single file, a volume folder, or a series root. Nested archives extract automatically, up to three levels deep.

Every core action has a shortcut. Arrow keys for pages, ⌘G to jump, ⌘D to bookmark, ⌃⌘P for thumbnails.

Lazy windowing in vertical mode loads header-only dimensions up front, then streams pages only where you're looking.

Star books for quick access in the sidebar. Pin individual pages and jump between them with ⌘⇧[ / ⌘⇧].

Per-book page memory survives archive re-extraction. Layout, direction, fit mode, and sidebar state are all persisted.

Right-click any .cbz or .zip → Open With → Panely. Drop a folder onto the app icon to open it directly.

Panely is open source but not notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper warns on first launch. It’s safe to open — here’s how.

Drag Panely.app into your /Applications folder.
Right-click (or Control-click) Panely.app and choose Open. Unlike a double-click, this gives you an Open button that launches it.
If macOS still blocks it, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click Open Anyway next to the Panely notice.

Prefer the terminal? Remove the quarantine flag after moving Panely to /Applications:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Panely.app

The rest live in the menu bar.
