## What it is
Suwayomi (formerly Tachidesk) is a free, self-hosted manga reader server that is a rewrite of Tachiyomi for desktop platforms. It runs a server with a web UI and companion clients, supporting Tachiyomi extensions and syncing with Mihon and Neko.

## Use cases
- read manga on my desktop with tachiyomi extensions
- self-host a manga library server
- download manga chapters for offline reading
- sync manga library between tachiyomi and desktop
- run a manga reader in docker
- browse manga sources through a web interface

## When to choose
- you want Tachiyomi-style manga reading on desktop or a server
- you want a self-hosted web-based manga reader with extension support
- you want to sync your manga library with Mihon or Neko

## When to avoid
- you only read manga on Android and are happy with Tachiyomi/Mihon directly
- you need a legal licensed-content streaming service rather than extension-based sources
