Comicarr

Comicarr is an automated comic book and manga library manager and downloader. It monitors your series and searches for new issues across Usenet, torrents, and direct download providers. Comic imports use ComicVine, including imports from Metron search results. Manga-only libraries can use MangaDex or MyAnimeList; MyAnimeList requires a client ID.

Comicarr builds on Mylar3, with a React 19 frontend and a FastAPI backend. The application is licensed under the GNU GPL v3.
