Enabling Extensions

Extensions are the backbone of Atahon’s content system. Each extension is a plugin (APK) that provides one or more manga sources — the websites or services where manga is hosted.

What Are Extensions?

Extensions are Tachiyomi/Mihon-compatible APK files that Atahon loads at runtime through a native Kotlin bridge. Each extension:

• Provides one or more sources (e.g., a single extension might include sources for multiple languages)
• Is identified by a package name (e.g., eu.kanade.tachiyomi.extension.en.weebcentral)
• Has a version, language, and optional NSFW flag
• Runs in an isolated classloader inside the app

Installing Extensions

Before installing extensions, make sure you’ve added at least one repository.

1. Go to the More tab and tap Extensions
2. Browse the list of available extensions from your enabled repositories
3. Tap an extension to see its details (sources, version, language)
4. Tap Install to download and install the extension

The extension APK is downloaded from the repository and stored locally as a .ext file in the app’s private storage.

Extension Details

Each extension entry shows:

Field	Meaning
Name	Extension name (e.g., “WeebCentral”)
Language	Two-letter language code (e.g., “en”, “ja”, “multi”)
Version	Current installed version
Sources	Number of manga sources this extension provides
NSFW	Whether the extension contains adult content

Managing Extensions

Updating

When a repository has a newer version of an installed extension, you’ll see an Update badge. Tap the extension and confirm to update.

Uninstalling

To remove an extension:

1. Go to More > Extensions
2. Find the installed extension
3. Tap it and select Uninstall

This removes the .ext file and unloads all sources from that extension.

Viewing Sources

Each extension provides one or more sources. After installing an extension:

1. The sources appear in the Browse tab
2. Each source is listed with its name and base URL
3. You can enable or disable individual sources

Using Sources

Once you have extensions installed, their sources appear in the Browse tab:

Browsing

• Popular — Browse the most popular manga from a source
• Latest — See the most recently updated manga
• Search — Search for specific titles across a source

Adding Manga to Library

When you find a manga you want to follow:

1. Tap the manga card to open its detail page
2. The detail page shows: title, author, artist, description, status, genres, and chapter list
3. Tap Add to Library to save it to your collection
4. The manga and its chapter list are stored in your local database

Manga already in your library will show an “IN LIBRARY” indicator when browsing.

Extension Compatibility

Atahon is compatible with extensions built for Tachiyomi and Mihon with:

• Lib version 1.4–1.5
• Standard HTTP source interface (HttpSource)
