TachideskJUI

A free and open source manga reader to read manga from a Tachidesk server.

TachideskJUI can run the Tachidesk server on its own, or connect to an already hosted server.

Any platform that runs Java can run it. On most platforms are binaries available if you don't want to install Java yourself

Is this application usable? Should I test it?

Here is a list of current features for interaction with Tachidesk:

• Installing and uninstalling Extensions.
• Interaction with your library.
• Browsing installed sources.
• Viewing manga and chapter info.

Note: Keep in mind that TachideskJUI and Tachidesk are alpha software and can rarely break and/or with each update, so you may have to delete your data to fix it. See General troubleshooting and Support and help if it happens.
