AniList, MyAnimeList or Kitsu. Finish a chapter, your list updates itself.
Self-hosted · open source · installable PWA
Self-hosted manga server that downloads too.
A manga library that fills itself. Point it at a series and Uchiyomi downloads it, watches for new chapters, and serves them to a reader built for webtoons. One compose file, on your own server, and it installs like an app.
Most self-hosted readers stop at reading. This one watches your series too.

uchiyomi.
Normally that's four or five containers
and a weekend of compose files.
Uchiyomi is one image.
If you run Sonarr for TV and Radarr for films, this is the same idea for manga · the whole *arr stack for manga, in one container, with the reader included. How that compares to kaizoku and Mangarr →

The tour
Six screens. One scroll.
- HomeA daily pick, and where you left off.
- LibraryEverything you own, sorted how you like.
- SeriesReal cover art, every chapter, one tap in.
- ReaderTrue black, webtoon-first, chapters run on.
- DiscoverWhat your sources just published, by language.
- AdminMembers, providers, and a library that checks itself.
Two doors, one search
Paste a URL. Or bring Mihon’s whole catalogue.
1,402extensions, one click
Built-in engines reach whole families of manga sites from a pasted URL, with nothing to wire up. Want more? Point Uchiyomi at an extension repository you trust and add one with a click. Both land in the same search.
- Adding one switches its sources on immediately
- Adult extensions hidden by default
- Uchiyomi hosts nothing — you choose the repository
Why Uchiyomi
Most tools make you pick a side. This one does both.
A library server reads files you supply but can’t fetch new chapters. A source app fetches them but is Android-only or wrapped in a basic web UI. Uchiyomi does both, in something worth opening.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fetches new chapters from sources | ✓ | ×you supply files | ✓ | ✓ |

Six rows of eighteen · the full table, and five honest paragraphs about what Komga, Kavita, Suwayomi, Mihon and kaizoku each do better, are on the comparison page. Compiled 2026-09-22 against v0.40.0; if a row is wrong, open an issue and I’ll fix it.
The combination nobody else offers: one app that finds, fetches, tracks and reads, for a whole household.
Inside
One image. A surprising amount inside.
Library health
Finds gaps, bad downloads and duplicates for you.
A shelf the kids can use
Split the collection into libraries, give each one an age rating and choose who opens it. An 18+ shelf stays off the home screen, the grid and search entirely until somebody asks for it.
Single sign-on
OIDC against Authentik, Authelia or Keycloak.
Scoped API tokens
Read, write or admin. Revocable any time.
Offline
Installs as an app and keeps chapters on the device. Reads on a plane, syncs your place when you land.
Multi-user household
Accounts, progress, streaks and a leaderboard.
Nine languages
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. Arabic mirrors the whole layout, not just the text.
Nightly backups
Database and config, rotated, restorable.
Self-host in minutes
One file. One command. Done.
The reader and the API are one container. One
docker compose up brings it up with the database, the Cloudflare solver and the extension
engine. No stack to assemble.
