Calico - Reader for Mangadex

Tired of manga apps that make you wait? Calico is a fast, clean manga and comics reader built on the official MangaDex API, designed to get out of your way so you can actually read. Browse manga, manhwa, comics, and webtoons across every genre: action, romance, fantasy, comedy, horror, adventure, slice of life, and more, with a library that loads the instant you open it, not a few seconds later.

Calico connects using your own personal MangaDex API credentials, so your account, your library, and your reading history stay exactly where they belong: with you and with MangaDex.

Built for Speed

Smart local caching keeps titles, covers, descriptions, and tags ready to open instantly, even the second time.
Seamless chapter-to-chapter reading: pages ahead are preloaded automatically, so turning past the end of a chapter never means staring at a spinner.
Data Saver mode for lighter, compressed pages on limited connections.

Discover Your Next Series

Browse trending, recommended, seasonal, self-published, and recently-added titles.
Powerful search and filtering by genre, tags, content rating, language, and availability.
A Following/Updates feed that shows exactly what's new from the series you track the moment you open it.

Your Library, Your Way

Follow manga and build a personal library that syncs with your MangaDex account.
Continue Reading picks up exactly where you left off, chapter and page.
Create and browse custom lists, and follow specific uploaders and scanlation groups.
Chapter read-tracking that works locally even when you're offline, and syncs back once you're not.

Reader Controls That Respect You

Page or continuous (webtoon) reading modes, with volume-key navigation and adjustable page gaps.
Incognito Reading pauses your history and read markers on demand so you can read without it following you.
Content-rating controls, including an optional Safe mode that fully blocks suggestive content for a cleaner experience.
Keep-screen-on, sound effects, and a fixed top bar: small things, on by default to feel right, all optional.

Calico is free, with no ads and no account required just to browse. Signing in with your own MangaDex API client unlocks following, syncing, and notifications. Nothing more is asked of you.
