v0.98.0: A hero that always loads
Discover's hero is always there and quick on a phone, your picks are one full row, and the newest from your sources
comes first.
A hero that always loads
- The trending titles are kept on the server. After every restart or update, Discover used to wait on AniList for
them; when AniList was busy, a phone showed no hero at all and never asked again. Now the hero comes from the kept
copy at once, and the copy is refreshed in the background every six hours. - The hero's space is held while it loads, so nothing below it jumps when it appears.
- On a phone each slide's picture loads once, and sharper. It used to be fetched twice at two sizes, and was the
small cover stretched across the screen. - It moves as Home's hero does: slides crossfade, a phone's cover drifts slowly, bars show where the slides are, and
a Pause key holds it. Under Reduce effects or reduced motion it stays still.
One full row of picks
- Recommended for you and Because you read are one row. Each card says why it is there: the service that
suggested it, or a small cover of the series you read. A title named by both is one card. - Because you read uses your last five reads, not one, a pick from each in turn. On a big library it often showed
four cards, because the rest were titles you already have. - Your connected trackers can suggest up to eight titles per series you rated, up from five. These come from
suggestions the server already stores, so it makes no extra requests.
The newest from your sources comes first
- The wall starts right under the search. Your picks row comes after its first two rows of covers.
- The trending manhwa, manga and manhua rows come every four rows after that, with the first ten numbered as on
Home's Top 10. They used to sit at the very end of the wall, where almost nobody scrolled. - A row waits at the end until the wall has filled up to its place, so nothing you are looking at moves.
Upgrading
- Nothing to do. The server stores the trending lists in a new table, created on start.
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-0.98.0.exe |
| Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) | Uchiyomi-0.98.0-arm64.dmg |
| Mac with an Intel processor | Uchiyomi-0.98.0-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:
