What is Komga?

Komga is a free, open-source server that organises your digital comics, manga and books and lets you read them in the browser on desktop, tablet or phone. It supports collections and reading lists, editing book details, several users with their own access and syncing with Kobo and KOReader readers.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Komga does well

  • Read your library from any browser
  • Reading lists and collections keep things tidy
  • Works with Kobo and KOReader sync

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs a server or always-on computer
  • Aimed at comics and manga more than novels

Who Komga is for

Readers with a large comic or manga collection who want it all in one place.

Who can skip it
