Plain language, no fine print
Privacy policy
Torika is a Mac app for your own manga, comics, and light novels. It runs on your machine and keeps your library to itself.
TL;DR
Torika doesn't collect any data about you. There are no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. Your library stays on your Mac. The only outbound network requests are the ones you explicitly trigger — looking up metadata via MangaBaka or fetching cover art.
What we collect
Nothing. Momoji Labs doesn't operate a server that receives your data, doesn't embed analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and doesn't have visibility into how you use the app.
There's no sign-up, no account, no email collection inside the app. You don't tell us anything because we don't ask.
What stays on your Mac
Everything Torika knows about you lives locally on your machine:
- Your library files — CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF, EPUB and similar — stay wherever you put them. Torika reads them; it doesn't move, upload, or copy them anywhere.
- Reading progress, tags, and preferences — stored in Torika's local app data inside macOS's standard app container.
- Cached metadata and cover images — once Torika fetches metadata for a series, it caches the result locally so it doesn't need to refetch every time.
- Any API tokens you enter (e.g., your MangaBaka token) — stored locally in your macOS keychain or app preferences. They aren't transmitted anywhere except to the service they belong to.
Network requests Torika makes
Torika talks to a small number of third-party services, only when you ask it to:
- MangaBaka (mangabaka.org) — when you search for or match metadata for a series, Torika sends a request to the MangaBaka API. If you've provided your own MangaBaka API token in Settings, that token is included so you're authenticated as yourself. MangaBaka's own privacy policy applies to what they do with these requests.
- Cover-image hosts — when MangaBaka returns a cover-art URL, Torika fetches the image from whichever host the URL points to (typically a CDN). Your IP address is visible to that host, as with any web request.
That's it. There are no other network calls — no analytics pings, no telemetry, no "phone home." If you use Torika entirely offline, nothing leaves your Mac.
What we share
Nothing, with no one. We don't have any data to share, and we wouldn't sell or hand it over if we did.
Children's privacy
Torika is not directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone. If you're a parent and have a question, get in touch.
Crash reports and diagnostics
macOS may generate crash reports if Torika quits unexpectedly. By default these are sent to Apple, not to us, governed by Apple's privacy policy. We don't operate our own crash-reporting service.
If you choose to send us a crash log directly (for example, attached to a bug report), we'll only use it to diagnose and fix the issue.
Beta testing
If you're testing Torika through Apple's TestFlight, Apple handles tester invitations, downloads, and crash analytics through their TestFlight service — that data is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours. We see the same aggregate, anonymized information Apple shows every TestFlight developer (install counts, crash rates per build), nothing more.
Changes to this policy
If we change anything material, we'll update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top. Major changes — like ever adding analytics or accounts — would also be announced in-app and via the Torika website.
