Cross-Platform Notes
ComicDraft runs on macOS and iPad. (There’s no iPhone build — a comic script page doesn’t fit on a phone.) The feature surface is the same on both — same shortcuts, same library, same documents, same export formats bar one.

Files created on one platform open transparently on the other.
Editing the same issue on two devices
Section titled “Editing the same issue on two devices”If an issue is open on your Mac and your iPad at once, ComicDraft won’t let one device’s save overwrite a version the other has already changed. Rather than letting whichever device autosaved last quietly win, it refuses the write and tells you: their version stays on disk, yours stays in the editor. Closing and reopening the issue takes the other device’s version.
That’s the whole writing surface. Please reach out to us via the contact form if you have any questions.
