Building from sources

Didn't find a suitable package for your platform? You can download the latest tarball or clone the source code respository and build YACReader for your own platform. Let us know if you need any help with the building process.

Dev builds

You can find the development builds in a separated repository. This is usually the version I use and they should be fairly safe to use but there is always a chance something is broken, but it is the fastest way to get the new features.

Previous releases

Releases are hosted by Github, if you are looking for a previous version you can get it from here.

 

Why should I donate money to YACReader?

YACReader for desktop and server is free and open source, and it is developed and maintained by a single developer. The best way to support all this work and keep YACReader alive is to donate.

All the hours of work, the domain, the server and the website cost money. So please, if you like YACReader, buy me a coffee! ;)

Where does my money go?

Developing YACReader costs time and effort, and it also costs money. This website, which also hosts the forum where users get support, costs money to maintain, and it gets more expensive as the disk usage on the server grows.

The macOS and Windows versions are signed, and I pay for that myself. On Windows, I need to buy and renew a certificate periodically, and it is not cheap.

There are also other costs, like buying devices to test the software or develop new features.

Thank you!

YACReader would not be possible without you. Thank you to everyone who has helped the project over the years: the donors and patrons, the people who translated the apps, made packages for their systems or sent code, and everyone who reported a bug, suggested a feature, answered a question in the forum or told a friend about YACReader.

THANK YOU!

Special thanks

A special thank you to Elia Gregorio Méndez and Felix Kauselmann.

How do I connect the iOS or Android app to my library?

Open YACReaderLibrary on your computer and open the server settings. They show the address, the port and a QR code. In the app, add a server: scan the QR code, or type the address and the port. Your computer and your device must be on the same network.

The app cannot connect to YACReaderLibrary. Why?

Check these causes one by one:

• Wrong address or port. Use the current IP address of the computer that runs the server. The address can change if your router does not give the computer a fixed IP. Make sure that no other program uses the same port.
• A firewall blocks the connection. Let YACReaderLibrary accept connections through the firewall of your computer.
• The app has no access to the local network. If iOS or Android asks, allow the app to find and connect to devices on your network. You can change this later in the settings of your device.
• The devices are not on the same network, or the router isolates them. Some Wi-Fi mesh systems, access points and guest networks do not let devices talk to each other.

Do I have to keep my computer on to use the apps?

The apps need a running server to browse your library. Comics that you import to your device are available offline. To keep your library available all the time, run YACReaderLibraryServer on a NAS or a home server. It does not need a desktop, and there is an official Docker image.

How do I delete comics or folders in YACReader for iOS?

Swipe from left to right on a comic or folder in your library. You can delete in the table and grid views.

How do I select many comics or folders in YACReader for iOS?

Swipe with two fingers over the items to select them quickly. Watch this video to see how it works.

How do I see more actions for a comic or folder in YACReader for iOS?

Touch and hold a comic or folder to open its context menu.

How do I create a library?

A library is a folder with comics. Usually you need only one library for all your collections. Click the + button, give the library a name and select its folder (for example C:\Comics). YACReaderLibrary imports all the comics and folders in it. Your files stay where they are.

How do I add new comics or folders to a library?

Put the comics or folders in the folder of your library, then update the library. You can also set YACReaderLibrary to update your libraries automatically.

My library is empty after I create it

YACReaderLibrary cannot write its database. Make sure that you can write to the library folder. If your comics are in a network folder mounted with Samba (CIFS), mount it with the nobrl option (some documents call it nolock). Without it, the database cannot lock its files.

How do I move a library to a different disk or computer?

Each library keeps its data in a hidden .yacreaderlibrary folder inside the library folder. Move or copy the full library folder, then open it in YACReaderLibrary as an existing library. Your metadata and reading progress stay with it.

The comic flow is slow. What can I do?

Update the drivers of your graphics card first. Then, in the settings, move the performance slider to the left and turn off VSync.

How do I report a bug?

Write in the forum or open an issue on GitHub. Tell us the version of YACReader, your operating system and the steps to reproduce the problem. If a comic file causes the problem, tell us that too.
