Sources
Local files: your cozy shelf lives at Files · On My iPhone · Kuma · local. Pull to refresh after you add something.
- Chapters can be folders of images or zip files. Rar is a bit fussy.
- Add a cover.jpg or a tiny details.json with a title, author, and blurb if you like.
Extensions: open Extensions · tap the plus · pick a file. Repositories are tiny bookshops that offer a handful of sources in one tap.
Reading
- Save for later: long-press a chapter, pick a few, then tap download.
- Mark as read: long-press, then use the bottom bar to mark everything up to your pick.
- Background downloads: turn them on in Settings, then open a chapter once if it needs a nudge.
- Clear cache: More · General · Advanced · Clear Cache.
Sync
- Comes with you: shelves, history, and bookmarks.
- Stays put: files on your phone, downloads, and logins.
- When: when Kuma opens, something changes, or you pull to refresh.
- Trackers: Kuma can update MyAnimeList and AniList when you finish a chapter.
Backups & migration
Back up first: Settings · Backup & Restore · Create Backup. Find it in Files · On My iPhone · Kuma · backups.
- A backup keeps titles, shelves, read chapters, history, and settings.
- From a series, tap More · Migrate · search · choose a new home · confirm.
- Saved chapters stay where they were, so downloads do not transfer automatically.
Across devices: use the same Apple ID and tap Restore Purchase if it does not appear right away.
