Changelog

First Delivery Free on the Desktop Too

Your first delivery from the Mac and Windows app is now free, the same as on the web, and pages are sized for the newest Kindles.

• New

  Free First Delivery in the App

  Your first delivery from the desktop app is now free, the same as on the web. Before, the app could refuse it. A volume that has to be split into several emails now arrives in full with your free delivery, not just the first part.

• Improved

  The App Keeps Working After That

  After your free delivery the app stays open. A small banner shows where you stand, and converting files and copying them to your Kindle over USB keep working.

• Improved

  Pages for the Newest Kindles

  Pages are sized for the new 7-inch Paperwhite and Colorsoft and for the 11-inch Scribe models.

• Improved

  Titles and Page Order

  Titles with "&" or "<" in them no longer break a book, and pages are sorted the way they're numbered (page 2 before page 10).

• Improved

  Busy Watched Folders

  Watched folders with many new chapters now send the oldest 5 on each check instead of skipping the series. The History page shows what's waiting.

• Improved

  The Lower One-Time Price

  The purchase offer in the app shows the lower lifetime price, paid once, the same as the website.

• Improved

  Usage Data, Explained

  The "Share usage data" setting now says exactly what it sends.

• Removed

  Online Manga Sites Removed

  The app no longer contains code that reads from online manga sites. It converts and sends files you own. Library entries from old online sources are turned off but kept.

One-Time Purchase

MangaSendr is now a one-time purchase. Pay once and you get every v2 update, with no subscription. Your first real delivery is free. Existing subscribers keep their plans and prices, and nobody loses access.

• New

  Lifetime of v2.x, Paid Once

  One payment covers every v2 update, hosted Kindle delivery, and the web and desktop apps on all your devices. Nothing renews, and there is a 14-day money-back guarantee. If we release a v3 someday it may be a separate purchase, but v2 keeps working either way.

• New

  First Delivery Free, No Trial

  The 7-day trial is gone. Your first real delivery to your Kindle is free, with no card required. The onboarding sample and the two converter downloads are still free too.

• New

  The Offer Comes After Your First Delivery

  Once your first chapter has landed, the app shows you the purchase. It works the same on the web and in the desktop app, so you see it work before you are asked to pay.

• Improved

  Monthly Plan at $4.99

  If you would rather pay monthly, it is $4.99 a month and you can cancel anytime. Existing $2.99 monthly and $24.99 yearly subscribers keep their price as long as they stay subscribed.

• Improved

  Purchase Confirmation on the Desktop

  The screen after checkout now tells you whether the purchase is confirmed, still processing, or needs a second look, instead of always saying it succeeded.

The Unreliable Connection Fix

Deliveries no longer give up the moment a connection drops, and the app can now find updates even on networks where GitHub, where updates are normally hosted, isn't reachable.

• Improved

  Deliveries Survive a Dropped Connection

  A volume that lost its connection partway through uploading was marked failed and skipped. The app now retries a couple of times before giving up, so a brief hiccup on your network costs you a few seconds instead of the whole volume.

• Improved

  Updates Reach Restricted Networks

  On networks that can't reach GitHub, the app could never find a new version, which left it stuck on the release it was installed with. It now falls back to a second update source automatically. If this affected you, this is the last version you'll need to install by hand.

• Improved

  No More Phantom Crash Reports

  A failed update check was being recorded as an app crash, even though nothing had crashed. Internal only, but it was hiding real problems behind noise.

The Batch Delivery Fix

Sending a stack of volumes at once now finishes the stack. Large batches could stop partway through with nothing in Delivery History to explain the rest. That's fixed, and along the way deliveries got faster and arrive in fewer pieces.

• Improved

  Batches Finish

  Selecting twenty volumes and hitting Send could deliver only the first few, with the rest disappearing without a trace. Every selected volume is now attempted, and anything that fails says so instead of going quiet.

• New

  Volumes Are Prepared On Your Own Computer

  The app now converts each volume locally and sends the finished file, instead of uploading the original for the server to convert. A 220 MB volume goes out as 38 MB, roughly a fifth of the upload, so batches move faster and no longer overwhelm the delivery queue.

• Improved

  Fewer Parts Per Volume

  Volumes were being split more finely than the email limit actually requires, so one volume could land on your Kindle as three separate files. The app now uses the real limit and splits only when it genuinely has to.

• Improved

  Interrupted Deliveries Are Visible

  If a delivery is cut short on the server, it now shows up in Delivery History as failed rather than vanishing, so you can see what to send again.

Download the latest version

The Library & Auto-Update Fix

The desktop app now makes a clean distinction between your scanned folders and the library of titles you follow, and Windows auto-update works again. If you installed the desktop app on Windows before v2.4.3, update once manually from the download page: older versions reject automatic updates.

• New

  Pick Titles to Follow

  After scanning your manga folder, the dashboard now invites you to choose which titles to follow, instead of asking for a folder again. Hover any title in Local Files and hit "+ Library" to enable automatic updates and Kindle delivery in one click.

• Improved

  Windows Auto-Update Repaired

  Windows builds were signed with a certificate Windows doesn't trust, so the updater silently rejected every new version. Fixed from v2.4.3 onward. Earlier installs need a one-time manual reinstall from the download page (your library and settings are kept).

• Improved

  Folder Management Cleanup

  Removing a watched folder now also removes the followed titles that came from it, watched folders are scanned automatically again, and Full Rescan & Repair runs in the background without freezing the app.

• Improved

  Device Wizard Fixes

  The Add Device wizard no longer skips the device form, and the phantom "no Kindle configured" warning after adding a device is gone.

Download the latest version

• New

  Drag & Drop Conversion

  Drop a CBZ, EPUB, PDF or ZIP of images straight from your browser. Pages are sized for your Kindle model, and thick volumes are split into parts small enough for Amazon's email limit.

• New

  Watched Folders (Desktop App)

  Point the desktop app at a folder. New files inside are converted and sent to your Kindle automatically.

• Removed

  URL Source Fetching Retired

  Adding new manga sources from URLs has been removed across the web app and desktop app.

Visual Engine Upgrade

Deep improvements to how we process images for E-Ink displays.
