Settings
The Settings screen is the central place to configure Tsumihon’s behavior. It is organized into sections, each grouping related options together.
Appearance
- Theme Mode — Light, Dark, AMOLED, or Auto. AMOLED is a separate choice from Dark, not a darker shade of it: it drops to a near-black ground for OLED screens, where Dark sits a few steps above black.
- Accent Colour — the one saturated colour in the app. Ten presets, a rainbow option, and a custom colour picker; surfaces stay the same whichever you pick. The accent can fill shapes as one Solid colour or as a Gradient.
- App icon — pick the icon on your home screen from a set of covers. Every icon is the same booklet with a different cover printed on it.
- Button sheen — a soft highlight across gradient buttons, as if light were falling on them.
- Add button glow — the add button lights the top edge of the bottom bar.
- Cover glow — a soft light around the cover on a book’s page.
- Paper texture — a fine grain over the background, like paper.
General
- Language — set the app’s interface language. Nine are available.
- Default reading direction — choose right-to-left, left-to-right, or vertical scrolling as the default for new books.
- Rating display — how a book’s rating is shown in the library.
- Grid columns — how many covers fit across a row.
Title Display
Controls which title field is shown throughout the app (library grid, detail screen, search results). Books can have up to three title fields: Japanese, Romaji, and English. This setting determines which one takes priority when displaying a book’s name.
Tip: If the selected title field is empty for a particular book, Tsumihon falls back to the next available title automatically.
Automation & AI
Settings for automated workflows and AI-assisted features.
- AI OCR API Key — enter an API key from a supported AI provider to enable OCR-based search. With this configured, you can take a photo of a book cover or page and search for it using the provider’s vision capabilities. The settings screen shows the specific provider currently supported and links to where to obtain a key. The key is stored locally on your device and is only sent to the AI provider when you initiate an OCR search.
Auto-Import
Configure automatic import of books from compatible extensions. Auto-import periodically checks your installed sources and adds matching books to your library without manual intervention.
See the Auto-Import documentation for full details on configuring rules, schedules, and behavior.
Auto-Merge
Configure how Tsumihon automatically merges metadata from multiple sources for the same book. Auto-merge uses source IDs and title matching to identify duplicates and combine their metadata.
See the Auto-Merge documentation for details on merge rules and conflict resolution.
Backup & Sync
Configure cloud sync and backup settings. Cloud sync is enabled automatically when you sign in — see the Backup & Sync documentation for details on how sync works.
Privacy & Security
App lock, hide-in-app-switcher, clipboard monitoring, and the in-app browser are all configured here. See Privacy & Security for the full breakdown.
Extensions
Install, configure, and remove extensions that add new metadata sources to the app. See Extensions for the full management guide.
Advanced & Safety
Lower-level controls for advanced users.
- App Info — build information and version details.
- Data Credits — attribution for the public databases that contribute metadata to Tsumihon. Tap any entry to visit the source. Tsumihon includes credits for publicly licensed datasets that require or appreciate attribution.
- Debug Tools — diagnostic logging and log export, primarily used when reporting issues.
- Danger Zone — destructive actions such as clearing downloads, bulk cleanup, resetting the local collection, and deleting your account.
Warning: Actions in the Danger Zone cannot be undone. Use them only when you are certain.
