Free & open source · self-hosted · installable app
Self-hosted manga server that downloads too.
A free, open-source manga server and reader for your manga, manhwa and webtoons. 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.

Normally that's four or five containers
and a weekend of compose files.
Uchiyomi is one install.
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 install, with the reader included. The manga downloader, and how it compares to kaizoku and Mangarr →

Mihon and Tachiyomi extensions, on your server
1,443extensions, 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
A library server and a manga downloader in one
Most tools make you pick a side. A library server like Komga or Kavita reads files you supply but can’t fetch new chapters. A source app like Mihon fetches them but lives on one phone, and Suwayomi puts the same extensions on a server for one person, until its accounts leave preview. Uchiyomi does both jobs, for a whole household, in something worth opening. Compared row by row →

Six rows of twenty-six · the full table, including the three rows Uchiyomi loses, and a paragraph on what Komga, Kavita, Suwayomi and Mihon each do better, are on the comparison page. Checked 2026-10-14 against Uchiyomi v0.61.2, Komga 1.29.0, Kavita 0.9.1.4, Suwayomi v2.4.2366 and Mihon 0.21.2. If a row is wrong, open an issue and I’ll fix it.
One app that finds, fetches, tracks and reads, for a whole household.
Inside
Everything a household manga server needs
Library health
Finds gaps, bad downloads and duplicates, and fixes them 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
Install it with Docker Compose
One file, one command. docker compose up brings up the app with
its database inside, the Cloudflare solver and the extension engine. No stack to assemble.

What’s new
Shipped, and what’s next.
When the next chapter is due
Uchiyomi works out when each series' next chapter is likely, says it as an estimate, and lists what's expected this week.
What comes next
Sequels, side stories and spin-offs from AniList on every series page, and what its readers recommend that you already have.
A reader that fits your screen
Spreads split or turned on a phone, blank borders cropped, an e-ink filter, and your own tap zones, keys and controller.
