Genuine whitespace in a passionate niche.

There is no dominant iOS manga tracking app. MangaDex is a reading platform, not a tracker. Tachiyomi is Android-only and legally grey. MyAnimeList has a tracker but its mobile UI is notoriously poor. MangaLog is a clean, native iOS-first app doing one thing excellently: tracking your reading list with beautiful stats.

The infrastructure footprint is minimal — no content hosting, no licences, no content team. Just a clean UI over public APIs (AniList, MangaDex API) and a passionate niche with very low churn once readers are invested in their lists.

Capabilities.

Reading list management

Reading, Plan to Read, On Hold, Dropped, and Completed lists — the full MAL-style list system in a clean native interface, no web wrappers.

Chapter progress tracking

Log the exact chapter you're on for every series. Tap once to mark the latest chapter as read. Never lose your place across 40 ongoing series.

AniList & MangaDex sync

Import your existing lists from AniList or sync new chapters from MangaDex's API. Series metadata, covers, and chapter counts update automatically.

Reading stats

Total chapters read, pages estimated, average daily reading pace, longest reading streak, and genre breakdown — a proper wrapped-style annual report.

Wish list & new chapter alerts

Add series to a wish list and get notified when a new chapter drops. Pro users get instant push notifications; free tier gets daily digest.

Social sharing

Share your "Top 10 series" card or yearly reading wrap-up as a stylised graphic to Twitter, Reddit, or Discord — built for organic distribution.

Frequently asked.

Does it host manga chapters?

No. MangaLog is purely a tracker — it does not host, serve, or display manga pages. It syncs metadata and chapter counts from legal public APIs. This keeps the legal profile clean and infrastructure costs near zero.

What about webtoons?

Webtoons, manhwa (Korean), and manhua (Chinese) are all supported as content types. The AniList API covers a significant portion of these, with MangaDex filling the gaps for series not on AniList.

Is iOS preferred over Android?

We're launching iOS-first because that's where the paying manga reader demographic skews and where the tracker whitespace is largest. An Android port follows immediately after the iOS launch stabilises.
