Source capabilities
This table describes the current app capabilities. Server version, account permissions, connection settings, and individual files can change the result.
| Source | Browsing and filters | Reading and formats | Progress and personal data | Offline boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Komga | Shelves, series, details, search, filters, sorting | Comics, EPUB, PDF | Supported progress and history sync | Cache or manual download |
| Kavita | Libraries, collections, reading lists, Want to Read, Smart Filters | Comics, EPUB, PDF | Progress, annotations, personal TOC bookmarks, image bookmarks | Downloaded books and cached filter results |
| LANraragi (0.9.70+) | Categories, tags, read status, Archive/Tankoubon | Archive comics and page previews | Archive-level progress, subject to server permissions | Metadata can be cached; pages need download |
| smanga | Media libraries, name/update/creation sorting, downloaded filter | Comics and PDF | Chapter progress, read status, and history | Cached content can be browsed; PDF needs a complete download |
| Local library | Folders, series or individual-file libraries, format filters | Images, archives, PDF, EPUB, TXT, Markdown, MOBI, DjVu | Local reading state, bookmarks, and metadata | Files remain available in the device or authorized folder |
Kavita advanced features
When supported by the server and account, Kavita connections also provide custom home shelves, collections, cross-series reading lists, Smart Filters, CBL import/export, personal table-of-contents bookmarks, comic-page bookmarks, EPUB highlights and annotations, ratings, reviews, reading statistics, and server reading profiles.
These actions are controlled by the Kavita API and account permissions. Koharia does not turn unavailable server features into local-only features; offline changes can become pending sync records and may require conflict resolution.
Local format limits
Markdown supports headings, lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and outline navigation, but does not render embedded images; tables degrade to plain text and a file is limited to 16 MiB. MOBI, PRC, AZW, and AZW3 have experimental text support without DRM, complex layouts, or embedded images. DjVu depends on Android WebView WebAssembly support.
