Your manga watchlist, everywhere you read.

Manga Watchlist is a manga and manhwa tracker. Sign up with a username and password, add series from any listing URL, and open your watchlist from anywhere. The Chrome extension captures the chapter you’re reading so unread counts and one-click Continue stay accurate on your account.

Set NEXT_PUBLIC_WEB_STORE_URL when your Chrome Web Store listing is live — the primary button will link there instead.

Unread chapters

126

No chapter detected

Open a chapter page — the popup picks it up automatically.

Built for heavy readers

Everything you need to stay current without spreadsheets or fragile bookmarks.

Companion extension

Reads the chapter URL on manga and manhwa sites, syncs progress to your logged-in account, and shows a live unread badge.

Scheduled checks

Manga Watchlist checks listing pages on a timer so “latest chapter” and behind counts stay fresh without you refreshing anything.

One library

Track series from many hosts in one dashboard — sort, search, Continue links, and read-through controls per title.

Site profiles + heuristics

Built-in parsers for popular readers plus generic fallbacks so new mirrors don’t break your workflow.

Portable data

Export or import your library as JSON for backups or moving your list to another setup.

Your account, anywhere

Your series, chapters, and passwords (stored securely hashed) live in the app’s database — sign in from any device with the same username and password.

Extension preview

Pop the tray for status and unread totals, then manage everything from the web dashboard — same bold dark UI end to end.

Manga Watchlist browser extension popup showing connection status and unread count

Drop PNGs named extension-popup.png, dashboard.png, series-cards.png into landing/public/screenshots/ — they load automatically; until then built-in mocks show layout.

Web Store link appears when NEXT_PUBLIC_WEB_STORE_URL is set.

How it works

Library data is stored per user in the app's database. The extension only detects which chapter you opened and sends that to your account.

  1. 01

    Create your account

    Register on the web app with a username and password. That login is yours everywhere — same credentials on a new browser or country.

  2. 02

    Add series URLs

    Paste each series listing URL; Manga Watchlist pulls cover art and checks for new chapters on a schedule.

  3. 03

    Install the companion

    Add the Chrome extension. It’s pre-pointed at Manga Watchlist, so it just connects once you’re signed in there.

  4. 04

    Just read

    On chapter pages the extension reads the chapter, updates your last-seen, keeps unread badges accurate, and the dashboard shows the same data for your user.
