mangadesk - Terminal client for MangaDex 📖

Download manga directly from your terminal to read!

This client retrieves information straight from MangaDex v5's API.
As the API is still a WIP, some changes (probably breaking) might be expected.

Features ✨

• Download chapters straight to your computer.
• Login to keep track of your followed manga.
• Keep track of already downloaded manga.
• Download multiple chapters together.
• Searching!
• Responsive UI (kind of)
• Written in Golang :)

Works for Windows/Linux/macOS.

Usage ✍

Simply choose the chapters you want to read to download.

Download folder

By default, all downloads are stored in a folder titled downloads, relative to where you run the application.

However, you can change this by changing the downloadDir field in the usr/usr_config.json file (this file only appears after running the application at least once!).

Languages

By default, English (en) is the main language.

You may change your desired language(s) through the languages field in the usr_config.json file.

Please use comma-separated ISO language codes!

Force Port 443

Valid options for this are true or false. It is false by default.

Set to true if you are having trouble downloading or are using networks that block traffic to non-standard ports (such a school/office) networks. More info.
