- What is Nyora?
- Nyora is a free, open-source manga reader with 1100+ online sources, offline downloads, AI page translation and a polished reader, available across Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS/iPadOS and the web.
- How does Nyora relate to Kotatsu?
- Nyora is an unofficial fork of Kotatsu. It reuses and extends Kotatsu and adds new platform ports, AI translation and color-correction features. It is not affiliated with the Kotatsu project. Both are licensed under the GNU GPLv3.
- Where does the content come from?
- Nyora does not host any manga. It connects to third-party online sources (1100+ built-in). On Android, you can also add Tachiyomi/Mihon/Keiyoushi extensions for additional sources. You are responsible for how you use it and for respecting the rights of content owners.
- Is Nyora available on iOS?
- Yes. Download the iOS IPA from releases and sideload it using AltStore or Sideloadly, which will re-sign the app with your Apple ID. Requires iOS/iPadOS 17+.
- Is it really free? Any ads?
- Yes — completely free, no ads, no tracking. Nyora is released under the GNU GPLv3, so the source is open and you can build it yourself.
- Can I read offline?
- Yes. Download chapters for offline reading, and open third-party CBZ archives directly from local storage.
- Does my library sync across devices?
- Yes. Sign in with your Google account and Nyora automatically syncs your library, favorites, categories, history, and reading progress across all devices.
- Does Nyora support trackers like AniList or MyAnimeList?
- Yes. Nyora integrates with AniList, MyAnimeList, Shikimori, and Kitsu (availability varies by platform). Sign in to your tracker account in Settings to sync your reading progress.
- Is my library private?
- You can lock the app behind a password or fingerprint, and use incognito mode to read without recording history.
- Does the AI translation work offline?
- Nyora supports whole-page translation. Download the ML models in Settings for an offline fallback when you have no connection.
- Which reading modes are supported?
- Left-to-right, right-to-left and vertical (webtoon) modes, all customizable per title, with gesture support in the reader.
- A build won’t compile — what should I try first?
- For Android, run ./gradlew clean and restart Android Studio; keep ksp.incremental=false if you hit KSP/caching issues. For desktop ports, ensure you have JDK 17+ on PATH.
