YORU

Privacy Policy

Last updated 25 October 2026

Yoru is an app for reading comics on Android and desktop, made by Kurodev. This page explains what data the app uses and where that data is sent.

Data on your device

Bookmarks, categories, reading history (the last chapter and page), settings, installed extensions and downloaded chapters are kept in the app's storage on your device. This data is not sent to our servers.

Comic content and sources

Comic lists, details and chapter pages come from the source you pick. The bundled BacaKomik source reads from our server api-bacakomik.kurodev.org. Other sources are extensions: small scripts the app installs from an extension repo (by default bacakomik-ext.kurodev.org, or a repo you add) and that connect directly to the comic site they read. These requests do not carry your Google account, bookmarks or reading history. Like any web server, our server and the comic sites can log your IP address and the time of a request for technical purposes. Extensions from repos you add yourself are not made or checked by us, so only add repos you trust.

When a site asks for a bot check, the app opens it in a built-in WebView and keeps the cookies that site sets, so the next requests to that site pass. You can clear these cookies from the WebView menu.

Google Drive sync (optional)

If you turn on sync, the app asks you to sign in with Google with drive.appdata access. This access only opens a hidden app data folder in your Google Drive, not your other Drive files.

• What is stored in that folder: your bookmarks, categories, reading history and a record of items you deleted, in one file.
• Your Google account email address is used to show the connected account in the app.
• Data is sent directly between your device and Google. We do not receive, store or share it.
• You can turn off sync at any time in the More menu, and revoke the app's access in your Google account settings. The data in Drive can be deleted from Google Drive → Settings → Manage apps.

Use of data from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Backups and imports

Backup files, Mihon / Tachiyomi backups and Comix.to exports are read and written on your device only. A file leaves your device only if you share or move it yourself.

App updates

The app checks for new versions and downloads them from GitHub. These requests do not carry personal data.

Ads and tracking

Yoru has no ads, analytics or third-party trackers.
