Who it's for

Built for people who own their collection

Mac or iPad users with 100+ volumes of manga, comics, or light novels in local folders or on a NAS
Komga, Kavita, or OPDS server owners who want a polished native Mac client instead of a browser tab
Apple ecosystem readers who care about native design — Liquid Glass, SF Symbols, CloudKit, Screen Time
People who track reading across devices and want progress to sync without manual logging
Collectors who want metadata depth: five providers, release-lane awareness, ComicInfo sidecar support
Anyone who's spent a Saturday renaming folders for the third time and still isn't happy with how their library looks

What's inside

Built for collectors.

Five things that are defaults in Torika because manga, light novels, and comics aren't generic ebooks.

Unified Mural

Local files, Komga server, and OPDS feeds appear together in one library. Browse as a Mural, Story Shelves, or List — with progress and unread counts across every source, not a flat folder view.

Manga-first reader

Two-page spreads, right-to-left, edge-to-edge reading with Books-style chrome. Detects EPUB-as-manga automatically (Humble Bundle pattern) and gives it the panel treatment — no manual flag required.

Five-provider metadata

Covers, titles, genres, and series order from MangaBaka, AniList, RanobeDB, Open Library, and MyAnimeList, plus ComicInfo sidecar. Release-lane aware — knows when English volumes lag behind Japanese originals.

Tracker sync

Optional, opt-in. Mark a volume read and Torika updates MangaBaka, AniList, and MyAnimeList. NovelUpdates import pulls in existing progress. No account required to use the app.

Local-first, CloudKit sync

No server required — Torika reads local folders, iCloud Drive, NAS shares, anywhere Files can reach. Your files stay in place; Torika never copies or rewrites them. Progress syncs via CloudKit.

Your library

Three ways to see it

Mural for the wall-of-covers feel, Story Shelves for browsing by mood, List when you need to find one exact thing in five hundred. Same library, your choice of view.

Inside the reader

A reader that respects the format

Manga panels and light-novel paragraphs deserve different reading experiences. Torika gives each one the treatment it was made for.

A note from the developer

Hey — I'm Marin. I built Torika because I couldn't find a Mac app that treated my manga library like a library.

I've got 3,000+ volumes across manga, light novels, and comics. Apple Books didn't get series. Ebook management tools got the data but never looked right. The good iOS readers don't have a Mac sibling. So I made the one I wanted.

It's just me building it. If you're the kind of person who's spent a Saturday renaming folders for the third time — this is for you.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

Who is Torika for?

Mac and iPad users who own their manga, comic, and light novel collection — people with local CBZ/EPUB files, Komga or Kavita servers, or OPDS feeds they want in one polished native app. Torika is not a source extension for streaming online manga: it's a library app for files you already have. If you want free access to online manga sources, free open-source iOS readers do that well — it's a different tool for a different job.

What file formats does Torika support?

Manga and comics in CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF. Light novels and books in EPUB, KEPUB, MOBI, PDF. No conversion needed — Torika reads what you already have.

What's the difference between Torika and Torika Pro?

Torika is free — one library source, ComicInfo and Open Library metadata, and the full reading experience (spreads, RTL, EPUB-as-manga, maturity filter, CloudKit sync). Torika Pro unlocks unlimited sources, five metadata providers (MangaBaka, AniList, MyAnimeList, RanobeDB), tracker sync, and Browse Server mode — one-time purchase, no subscription. See the full breakdown at /compare.

Does Torika connect to MangaBaka or AniList?

Yes — both, in different ways. MangaBaka powers library sync: mark a volume read and your tracker updates (opt-in, off by default). AniList is used for metadata enrichment only — covers, titles, genres, and series order. MyAnimeList is also supported for tracker sync, with NovelUpdates import. No account required to use the app.

Does Torika connect to Kavita, Komga, or OPDS servers?

Yes. Torika reads Kavita and Komga libraries via OPDS, alongside your local files, in one unified Mac-native browser. Generic OPDS and WebDAV are supported too. (Old deep-dive guides for Kavita and Komga still live online.)

Is Torika local-first?

Yes. Your files stay in the folders you already use — Torika indexes them in place, never copies or rewrites them, and uses no proprietary library format.

What does Torika cost?

Torika is free. Torika Pro is $19.99 — a one-time purchase, Universal Apple (one purchase covers Mac, iPad, and iPhone). No subscription, no recurring billing, no account required. For context: Things 3 is $50, Bear is $30/year, Soulver is $30 — Mac-native software is priced at $20–50. Torika Pro is at the bottom of that range, and it's yours forever.

Will there be an iPad or iPhone version?

macOS comes first. iPad is on the way and iPhone is on the roadmap, built on the same universal codebase. Universal Purchase — buy once on the App Store and the same purchase covers Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Is Torika Pro a subscription?

No. Torika Pro is a one-time purchase — buy once, use forever. No subscription, no recurring billing, no account required. Torika itself is free to download and use with one library source.

Is the reader designed for accessibility?

Yes. Six reading fonts including dyslexia-friendly Lexend and OpenDyslexic, tunable line height, margins, and contrast — plus Dynamic Type and VoiceOver work the way you'd expect on Apple platforms.
