  description

  Checkpoint is a side panel extension that tracks your reading progress for manga, manhwa, and manhua across any website you read on.
  Open the side panel, navigate to what you're reading, and hit +. Checkpoint auto-detects the title and chapter from the page, looks it up on AniList and MangaDex, grabs the cover art and metadata, and saves it to your local library. Re-add a title at a higher chapter and your progress updates automatically — it never goes backwards.
  Everything is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics.
  TRACKING & PROGRESS
  — One-click tracking with automatic title and chapter detection
  — Smart progress that only moves forward — you can't accidentally lose your place
  — Continue reading — each title remembers where you were, click Open to jump back
  ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY
  — Custom tags with color dots — create labels like "Favorites", "On Hold", or "Must Read"
  — Lists — comes with Reading, Completed, and Plan to Read out of the box, plus unlimited custom lists
  — Tri-state filtering — click any genre or tag to cycle through AND (must have), OR (any of these), or Exclude (hide these), and combine them freely
  — Format tabs — filter by All, Manga (JP), Manhwa (KR), or Manhua (CN)
  — Genres auto-fetched from AniList and MangaDex metadata
  CSV BULK IMPORT
  Already have a reading list in a spreadsheet? Import it all at once instead of adding titles one by one.
  — Export from Excel or Google Sheets as CSV
  — Just needs a title column — chapter, URL, and tags columns are optional
  — Checkpoint searches AniList and MangaDex for each title automatically with a progress bar
  — Review results with color-coded confidence levels (green = high match, yellow = check it, red = no match found)
  — Click any result to see alternatives, search by a different name, or skip
  — Pause and resume anytime — your progress is saved even if you close the tab
  — Export unmatched titles as CSV for another try later
  NEW CHAPTER NOTIFICATIONS
  — Background checks with configurable intervals
  — Smart notifications — only alerts for chapters released after you started tracking
  — Per-title toggle so you control exactly what you get notified about
  MULTI-PROVIDER SEARCH
  — AniList as primary source, MangaDex as fallback
  — Confidence scoring with fuzzy matching
  — Alternative names — teach Checkpoint to recognize titles across different sites
  BACKUP & RESTORE
  — Export your full library (titles, tags, lists, settings) as JSON
  — Import from a previous backup to restore everything
  SIDE PANEL UI
  Checkpoint lives in Chrome's side panel — it stays open next to your reading page so you never have to switch tabs.
  WORKS EVERYWHERE
  Works on most manga reading sites including MangaDex, Webtoon, Tapas, MangaPlus, and generic reader sites. When auto-detection doesn't work, search manually and Checkpoint remembers for next time.
  PRIVACY
  100% local storage. No accounts, no servers, no data sent anywhere. Your reading list is yours alone.
  Open source: github.com/elghaied/checkpoint

  Checkpoint is a side panel extension that tracks your reading progress for manga, manhwa, and manhua across any website you read on.
  Open the side panel, navigate to what you're reading, and hit +. Checkpoint auto-detects the title and chapter from the page, searches ComicK first (with AniList and MangaDex as fallbacks), grabs the cover art and metadata, and saves it to your local library. Re-add a title at a higher chapter and your progress updates automatically — it never goes backwards.
  Everything is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics.
