One Lists page unifies collections and read lists on every platform, with pinned items first. On supported servers, smart lists evaluate saved searches live and can be created and edited in the app, and reading stats come from the server with current and longest streaks, falling back to on-device data otherwise.

KMReader keeps a local database for responsive browsing, dashboards, logs, and downloaded-library workflows, including large libraries.

Sign in with password or API key — the login screen can create a key for you — set up a brand-new Komga server right from the login screen, and manage API keys in the app. Edit metadata, manage libraries and media, find missing posters or duplicates, and browse, export, or clear paginated logs. A Server Info overview reports version, uptime, CPU, memory, disk, and content totals, with live task queue, sessions, and scheduled-task pages, on stock Komga servers too. On servers with the komf integration, Identify, Match, and Reset Metadata fetch metadata without leaving the app. KMReader targets Komga 1.20.0+ and supports API v1/v2.
