The Manga Tracker Built for Readers
MangaTime is a dedicated manga tracker app that solves the core problem every manga reader faces: keeping track of where you left off across dozens of series, and knowing when the next chapter drops.
Unlike generic list apps or spreadsheets, MangaTime is purpose-built for manga, manhwa, and manhua — with a catalog that covers thousands of titles and updates as soon as new chapters release.

What a Good Manga Tracker Does
A manga tracker should do three things well:
- Remember your reading position for every series in your library
- Alert you when a new chapter is available for something you’re actively reading
- Help you manage your backlog — what to read next, what you’ve dropped, what you’ve finished
MangaTime handles all three without requiring you to check websites manually or update a spreadsheet every time you read a chapter.
Key Features
Chapter-Level Tracking
MangaTime tracks progress at the chapter level. Mark chapters as read individually, or quickly catch up to your current position when you add a new series. Your “Next Chapters” view always shows exactly where you are in each series.
Push Notifications for New Releases
When a chapter releases for a manga you’re reading, MangaTime sends a push notification directly to your phone. No polling, no RSS feeds — just an alert when it matters. This is the most requested feature for manga readers and something most general-purpose apps don’t offer.

Reading Lists & Organization
Organize your library into custom lists: Reading, Completed, Planned, Dropped — or create your own. MangaTime’s list system works for readers with 10 series or 500.

Cloud Sync Across Devices
Your reading progress syncs automatically across your devices. Switch phones, reinstall the app, or check your list on a new device — your library is always up to date.
Browser Extension
The MangaTime browser extension auto-detects when you’re reading a chapter in Chrome and prompts you to mark it as read. It syncs instantly with your mobile app.
Home Screen Widgets (Plus)
See your next chapters to read directly on your phone’s home screen — no need to open the app.
Manga, Manhwa, and Manhua Support
MangaTime tracks all three formats:
- Manga — Japanese comics (One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, etc.)
- Manhwa — Korean webtoons and comics (Solo Leveling, Tower of God, etc.)
- Manhua — Chinese comics
The catalog covers both ongoing and completed series, with regular updates as new chapters are released.
Why Not Use MyAnimeList or a Spreadsheet?
MyAnimeList is great for anime, but its manga tracking is limited — it often lacks chapter counts and requires manual number entry. Read the full comparison.
Spreadsheets give you control but require constant manual updates, don’t sync across devices, and can’t send you notifications. Why spreadsheets fail for manga tracking.
