Moku Mobile

Native Android manga/anime/novel reader built on the Keiyoushi/Aniyomi extension model — sources are installed on-device as small extension packages (manga/anime APKs, JS-based novel plugins) that talk directly to their own sites. There is no Moku-operated backend; the app also supports connecting to a self-hosted Tsunagu instance for remote library/tracking sync.

Stack

• Kotlin + Jetpack Compose (Material3)
• Room (local library/download/tracking storage)
• Keiyoushi/Tachiyomi source-API classes, vendored under eu.kanade.tachiyomi.*
• Coil for image loading, Media3 for playback
• Novel sources run as CommonJS plugins inside a headless WebView bridge (NovelJsRuntime)

Requirements

• Nix with flakes enabled
• An Android device or emulator (API 26+)

There's no checked-in Gradle wrapper — the dev shell provides gradle, JDK 17, and the full Android SDK/emulator directly, so nothing needs to be installed outside of Nix.

Getting started

nix develop

cd android
gradle assembleDebug
gradle installDebug   # with a device/emulator connected via adb

To boot a local emulator instead of using a physical device:

avdmanager create avd -n moku_test -k "system-images;android-34;google_apis_playstore;x86_64"
emulator -avd moku_test

Status

Early/actively in development. Core reading flow (install a manga extension, search, add to library, download, read) and the novel JS-plugin bridge work end-to-end; UI is being iterated on toward a clean, minimal design.
