Yomu
Yomu is a free native manga, webtoon, and manhwa reader for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with built-in Kavita support — no separate extension or repository required.
Installation
- Download Yomu from the App Store (iOS, iPadOS 15+, macOS 13+).
- Open the app and tap Browse → tap the + button → choose Add Kavita Server.
Setup
To connect Yomu to your Kavita instance you’ll need an API key.
Get your API key
- Sign in to your Kavita server in a web browser.
- Open your User Settings.
- Switch to the 3rd Party Clients tab.
- Copy the text under the API Key.
You can paste the full Kavita login URL (e.g. https://my.server/login?apiKey=...) into the Server URL field and Yomu will extract the API key automatically.
Configure the source
- In Yomu’s Kavita server form, fill in:
- Name — optional label shown in the Browse list
- Server URL — e.g.
https://my.server:5000 - API Key — paste from step 4 above
- Tap Test Connection to verify, then Save.
You can configure multiple Kavita servers — each one shows up as its own entry under Browse.
Browse and read
- Browse, search, and filter series across every Kavita server you’ve added
- Pick from manga, webtoon (vertical scroll), or comic reading modes per series
- Download chapters for offline reading
- Read-state and progress sync back to Kavita automatically as you finish chapters
- Bookmarks, per-series reader settings, and external display support on iPad and Mac
Tracking
Reading progress (last page read, completed chapters) syncs to your Kavita server automatically — no extra setup. You can also link series to AniList, MyAnimeList, Kitsu, or MangaUpdates.
Compatibility
Keep both up to date for best results:
- Kavita server (latest stable)
