Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a tool for autodownloading manga scans (translated of course) that would work somewhat like Sonarr or Radarr.

I’m currently downloading things to my phone through the Tachiyomi app, then dumping them into my computer to convert them for reading on my kindle device.

reading in the kindle is great but the workflow I’m following is not exactly fast or convenient. Has anyone tried something like this? even improving the downloading part would be a great help since with Tachiyomi I need to catalog things manually before converting

    I usually download stuff through Nyaa to get .cbz files of full volumes. Of the few times I have had to get a series myself I have used Houdoku. It’s similar to tachiyomi on desktop. I usually rip from Mangadex but have had to manually name folder files to eventually zip into cbz files. This may not be that helpful but just thought it plug in Houdoku to see if it helps with what you need

    Edit: Lol I didn’t really read your post well. Yeah, personally, I dont know of any automated solutions, sorry.

      I’ll check out Houdoku. If I can at least skip the part where I have to download to my phone first that’d be a big help. Thank you!

    If you have a Windows/Linux computer you could use FMD/Hakuneko to download manga. The only problem is that these tools do not scrape new releases/new chapters, and so you have to manually go in and download everything.

    A workaround would be if you can find torrents for your manga. In which case, with just a little bit of regex, you could let the torrent client (qbittorrent in my case) do the searching and auto-download for you. But I don’t really rely on torrents to download manga so can’t say. I have been looking for an automated solution too.

    There was Kmanga that did that and sent manga directly to my kindle. It was great but it shut down and no longer maintained.

    Komikku (linux) is great on desktop fwiw, though I know that won’t be useful for everyone. It’s on flathub.
