Documentation
Welcome to the Nyora documentation. Nyora is a free, independent, open-source manga reader that runs natively across phones, tablets, desktops and the web — with a shared cloud-synced library, AI page translation, offline downloads and zero ads, tracking or telemetry. These guides cover installing Nyora, using it day to day, building it from source, and automating it with the Python and JavaScript SDKs.
Read with no account required; sign in to your Nyora account only when you want your library, categories, history, bookmarks and exact reading progress to follow you across every device. The Android app builds on the open-source Nyora parsers, and one cloud catalog of ~960 sources powers the desktop, iOS, web and SDK builds.
