v0.86.0: Settings, easier to find
Settings are a few short categories with a search, instead of one long page.
Settings, easier to find
- A few categories instead of one long page. Profile → Settings is General, Appearance, Reading and
This device; Admin → Settings is Server, Series & chapters, Downloads, Maintenance and
Notifications. One category is on screen at a time, with at most eight rows, and its line in the list says what is
set in it. On a phone the categories are a list: tap one to open it, and Back returns to the list. - Search every setting. The box above the categories finds a setting by what it says, in your language or in
English, by the words people type for it (discord, backup, rtl), by a section's old name (Scanlators,
Updates & schedules) and by its help. Picking one opens its category and highlights the row. Ctrl+K (⌘K) and the
Search tab find every setting too, and go straight to it. - Pictures for the choices you see. The reader's mode and theme, what a wide page becomes, repeated pages and the
background are picture cards. Long lists (the language, the update interval, the backup time) are menus, and two or
three options are square toggles. No pills. - Big settings are one row. The scanlation groups (Scanlators until now), the source order, the slow archive, the
18+ filter, notice chapters and your avatar each say what is set and open their own editor. Rows few people change fold
under More options, and long help folds to two lines with More to read the rest. - A few settings moved or became one:
- The weekly goal is the ring at the top of your profile, no longer also a row in Settings.
- Brightness, the page gap, auto-scroll and the cover colour at the edges are set in the reader's own settings, while
you look at a page. - The nightly backup is one menu: Off, or the time it runs. The nightly repair is one choice: Off, Safe repair or
Fix everything, with what each does under it. - The space offline downloads use, Protect downloads and the way to the Offline downloads page are one row.
- Compact chapter list and Type anywhere to search are shown only where there is a mouse or a trackpad, where
they do something.
- Connections and Account have square keys instead of pills.
Upgrading
- Nothing to do. Links to the old sections (
?section=schedules,?section=housekeeping, …) open where those settings
are now.
Uchiyomi Desktop (beta): downloads
Uchiyomi as a program on your own computer, for Windows and Mac. On first launch it asks how you want to
use it: on this computer (the whole app, with the library in a folder on your PC and no Docker or
server to run) or connected to your own Uchiyomi server (a window onto the server you already run).
| Your computer | Download |
|---|---|
| Windows (x64) | Uchiyomi-Setup-0.86.0.exe |
| Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) | Uchiyomi-0.86.0-arm64.dmg |
| Mac with an Intel processor | Uchiyomi-0.86.0-x64.dmg |
Only those three are for you: the .zip, .blockmap and latest*.yml files are what the app's own updater
reads. The same installers are also here under names without a version (Uchiyomi-Setup.exe,
Uchiyomi-mac-arm64.dmg, Uchiyomi-mac-x64.dmg), which always lead to the newest release.
The app is not signed yet, so the first launch takes one extra step:
- Windows: "Windows protected your PC" appears once. Choose More info, then Run anyway. A PC
with Smart App Control turned on blocks unsigned apps with no way past it; use the Docker install there. - macOS: open the dmg and drag Uchiyomi to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS refuses;
go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
Windows installs updates by itself. A Mac cannot update an unsigned app, so there a new version is a new
download; the menu-bar icon and Admin → Health say when one is out.

sources, updates, backups, where files live and uninstalling:
