Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a tool for autodownloading manga scans (translated of course) that would work somewhat like Sonarr or Radarr.

I'm currently downloading things to my phone through the Tachiyomi app, then dumping them into my computer to convert them for reading on my kindle device.

reading in the kindle is great but the workflow I'm following is not exactly fast or convenient. Has anyone tried something like this? even improving the downloading part would be a great help since with Tachiyomi I need to catalog things manually before converting

There's no polished arr-like suite for manga at the moment. All we have for now are jank systems that break (FMD2/MangaL/Mango/Lanraragi), take way too much time managing metadata & file naming(random github apps that are cli-based), and Tachiyomi(mobile) + Tachidesk(pc).

I've been in that rabbit hole already and I've wasted too much time (months). I just paid myself and bought an android tablet for exclusively tachiyomi than waste what little free time I have after work.

Hopefully one day we get a fork of tachi without the reader, keeps the plugin support, and improves the metadata & file management (let us set custom series names/numbering when downloading)
