Tachidesk

A free and open source manga reader that runs extensions built for Tachiyomi.

Tachidesk is an independent Tachiyomi compatible software and is not a Fork of Tachiyomi.

Tachidesk is as multi-platform as you can get. Any platform that runs java and/or has a modern browser can run it. This includes Windows, Linux, macOS, chrome OS, etc. Follow Downloading and Running the app for installation instructions.

Ability to read and write Tachiyomi compatible backups and syncing is a planned feature.

Tachidesk needs serious front-end dev help for it's reader and other parts, if you like the app and want to see it become better please don't hesitate to contribute some code!

Is this application usable? Should I test it?

Here is a list of current features:

• Installing and executing Tachiyomi's Extensions, So you'll get the same sources.
• A library to save your mangas and categories to put them into.
• Searching and browsing installed sources.
• A decent chapter reader.
• Ability to download Mangas for offline read(This partially works)
• Backup and restore support powered by Tachiyomi Legacy Backups

Note: Keep in mind that Tachidesk is alpha software and can break rarely and/or with each update. See Troubleshooting if it happens.

Downloading and Running the app

All Operating Systems

You should have The Java Runtime Environment(JRE) 8 or newer and a modern browser installed(Google is your friend for seeking assitance). Also an internet connection is required as almost everything this app does is downloading stuff.

Download the latest "Stable" jar release from the releases section or a preview jar build from the preview repository.

Double click on the jar file or run java -jar Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar (or java -jar Tachidesk-latest.jar if you have the latest preview) from a Terminal/Command Prompt window to run the app which will open a new browser window automatically. Also the System Tray Icon is your friend if you need to open the browser window again or close Tachidesk.

Windows

Download the latest "Stable" win32 or win64 (depending on your system, usually you want win64) release from the releases section or a preview one from the preview repository.

The Windows specific build has java bundled inside, so you don't have to install java to use it. Unzip Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-win64.zip and run one of the Launcher files depending on what you want(see bellow). The rest works like the previous section.

Windows Launchers

• Tachidesk Electron Launcher.bat: Launches Tachidesk inside Electron as a desktop applicaton
• Tachidesk Browser Launcher.bat: Launches Tachidesk in a browser window
• Tachidesk Debug Launcher.bat: Launches Tachidesk with debug logs attached. If Tachidesk doesn't work for you, running this can give you insight into why.
