A reader tracking their manga progress with Checkpoint

Everything you need to track your reading

Built by a manga reader who was tired of losing track. Checkpoint is local-first, privacy-friendly, and works on every website.

One-Click Tracking

Navigate to any manga page and click to save your progress. Checkpoint auto-detects the title and chapter number.

Smart Name Matching

Different sites use different names for the same manga. Checkpoint handles alternative names so detection works everywhere.

New Chapter Alerts

Enable per-title notifications to get alerted when new chapters are released. Powered by AniList and MangaDex APIs.

Organized by Format

Filter your list by Manga (JP), Manhwa (KR), or Manhua (CN). Switch tabs to quickly find what you're looking for.

Alternative Names

Add custom alternative names to any entry. If auto-detection fails, paste the name and Checkpoint will remember it for next time.

Export & Import

Back up your entire reading list to a file, or import it on another machine. Share lists with friends who read the same titles.

How it works

Three simple steps — no sign-ups, no syncing, no friction.

STEP 01

Why I built Checkpoint

I've been reading manga and manhwa for many years. Over time, I lost track of — or even forgot — many titles I was following. I saved them in browser bookmarks, in notes apps, even on tracking websites. But bookmarks got deleted by accident, notes got lost, and tracking websites required signing in and manually updating my list.

I wanted something that sits right in my browser, works on any reading site, and requires zero effort to keep updated. One click to save my progress. No accounts, no manual updates, no context switching.

That's why Checkpoint exists. It's a local-first Chrome side panel extension built for readers who just want to keep reading without worrying about losing their place. Your data stays on your machine, it can be exported anytime, and it works everywhere.
