Readpaw 0.4.0

Two new features on top of 0.3.0.

LAN server mode

Click the Wi-Fi icon in the library header to start sharing the library on your local network. Other devices on the same Wi-Fi can open the URL shown (e.g. http://192.168.1.5:8080) in any browser and read comics / manga / PDF from the phone, tablet, or another Mac. Ebooks stay in-app.

• Zero-config, LAN only, no password.
• Reader has prev/next buttons and arrow-key navigation.
• Click the icon again to stop sharing.

Auto-update via Sparkle

Sparkle 2 is now embedded. New releases arrive automatically:

• Daily background check against https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moerdowo/Readpaw/main/appcast.xml.
• Menu: Readpaw ▸ Check for Updates… for a manual check.
• Updates are EdDSA-signed; the public key is baked into the app.

This is the last release you'll need to install by hand — from 0.4.0 onwards Sparkle handles the upgrade.

Install

Same as before — the DMG is ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarised:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Readpaw-0.4.0.dmg

Drag to Applications, then once:

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

System requirements

• macOS 15.0 (Sequoia) or later
• Apple Silicon (arm64)
