Nyora as a Tachiyomi / Mihon alternative
Tachiyomi was the go-to open-source manga reader for years; after it was discontinued in 2024, Mihon carried the torch. Both are excellent — and both are Android only. If you switched to an iPhone or iPad, or you read on a Mac, Windows or Linux machine, there was never an official app. Nyora fills that gap: the same free, ad-free, extension-style reading from hundreds of sources, but native on iOS/iPadOS, macOS, Windows, Linux and a no-install web app — all sharing one library that syncs across your devices. No account is required to read.
Nyora as a Kotatsu alternative
Kotatsu is a fast, clean, open-source manga reader — also Android only. Nyora is built directly on the open-source Kotatsu parser engine, so you get the same broad source catalogue and reliable parsing, extended to every platform. On top of that, Nyora adds whole-page AI translation (it finds each speech bubble, translates it, and paints the text back onto the art), built-in cross-device sync, and the browser + desktop + iOS builds Kotatsu doesn't have.
