IMPORTANT

Disclaimer: Kototoro does not bundle, host, or distribute any content sources, media, or copyrighted material. The application is a generic reader and player framework. All content sources are user-provided through third-party extensions, local file imports, or self-configured endpoints. The developers assume no responsibility for content accessed through user-installed sources.

What Makes Kototoro Different ​

  • One Android app for manga, novels, and video
  • An independent project originally derived from Kotatsu, now a Compose-first multi-format reading/player platform rather than a Kotatsu fork
  • Local OCR + translation directly in the reader
  • Video super-resolution (Anime4K / NCNN), DLNA casting, subtitle and audio track selection
  • Tracking discovery across MAL, Kitsu, AniList, Bangumi, Shikimori, and MangaUpdates
  • Broad source support: built-in, Kotatsu-Redo, Mihon, Aniyomi, IReader, Legado, TVBox
  • Local file import: CBZ, EPUB, TXT, MKV, MP4 and more
  • Dynamic zero-overhead UI plugins via external classloaders
  • Fast pure-Kotlin OTA delta updates
  • Built-in browser with Cloudflare challenge bypass
  • Reading statistics, quick-access widget, and Telegram backup bot

External Source Setup ​

Kototoro supports Mihon, Aniyomi, IReader, Legado, TVBox, and CloudStream sources. The app does not ship or recommend any specific repository; add repositories manually from Settings -> Content Sources. See Source Integrations for the exact steps.
