Tsugi documentation

Tsugi is an upcoming open-source manga reader for Android. It is in a closed testing round now; releases will follow on GitHub, and the source after that. These pages describe the app as it is built today (version 0.0.1).

Tsugi brings no content of its own. You read what is on your device through the Local source, or add extensions from repositories you choose.

Screens and settings are named the way the app labels them. A path such as More > Settings > Downloads means: open the More tab, tap Settings, then tap Downloads.
