Download Tachiyomi 0.15.0 for Android 6.0+

The original GitHub page for this release has been taken down, so every copy you find today comes from a mirror or an Internet Archive snapshot. That is why we list the exact file names and hashes below, since a matching SHA-256 checksum proves that your Tachiyomi 0.15.0 APK is the same file arkon uploaded. For most people the Universal APK is the safest pick, because it carries code for every processor type. You will not find this app on the Google Play Store, because its APK-based extensions go against Play policy, and there is no iOS version either, so any “Tachiyomi for iOS” app is a scam.

Tachiyomi 0.15.0 APK Details

The table below shows the real build details from the app’s source code at the release commit, so none of these numbers are guesses or copied ratings. Use it to confirm that the file you install matches the official build before you trust it with your library.

Which APK Variant Should You Pick?

Five official builds were uploaded on release day, and each one matches a different processor type, so the right file depends on the device in your hand. After you download a file, compare its hash with the matching row in this table, because any change in the string means the file was altered.

The small armeabi-v7a file is the one many mirror sites share, but it holds only 32-bit code, so it may refuse to install on newer phones that run 64-bit apps only. If you do not know which processor your phone uses, take the Universal APK and accept the bigger download, because it works everywhere.

Features

Key Features of Version 0.15.0

This version was not a small patch, because about 850 commits went into the code after the v0.14.x base, which makes it the biggest Tachiyomi update in years. The changes touch almost every screen, so the sections below group them by area, starting with the storage change that every user meets on the very first launch of the app.

New Storage Location System

Older builds asked for access to all files on the device, a permission that reached every photo and document on the phone, but this version asks you to choose one folder, and that folder becomes your Tachiyomi storage location for everything the app saves. Inside it, the autobackup folder holds backup files with names like eu.kanade.tachiyomi_yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm.tachibk, and this new naming stops your backups from clashing with forks such as TachiyomiSY. The downloads folder sorts chapters by source name and language, then by series title, and it saves each chapter as a CBZ file such as Chapter01.cbz. The local folder is where the Local source looks for your own manga, and it now reads only this one place instead of merging every mounted storage on the phone. If you used the default location before, you only need to select your existing Tachiyomi folder, and your old downloads and backups will show up again without any manual copying or renaming.

Library Improvements

The library and chapter list picked up many small tools that save taps every day. You can now use a scanlator filter in any chapter list, swipe on chapters for quick actions, and sort chapters in alphabetical order, while missing chapters are marked so you can spot gaps. Unread chapters get a dot beside their names, tags can be copied to the clipboard, and the library can be sorted by mean tracker score. Categories can also be put in alphabetical order with one shortcut, and chapter filters can be reset to their defaults.

Download and Browse Upgrades

Downloads now create ComicInfo.xml metadata files on their own, which helps other comic readers understand your CBZ files, and the download queue has a “Move series to bottom” option. On the Browse tab, tapping Browse twice opens Global Search, which gained quick filters for pinned or all sources and for sources that have results. You can also hide entries that are already in your library while you browse a source, jump to source settings from the menu, and open an extension’s website in WebView when a source needs a check.

Reader Updates

The reader added a “Rotate wide pages to fit” setting for wide spreads and an option to turn off double-tap zoom in long strip modes, which helps webtoon readers who zoom in by accident. People who read on e-ink displays can turn on a white flash at each page change, and anyone can share a chapter’s URL from the menu. Long chapter names now scroll across the top bar as well, so you can read the full title.

Tracking, Backups and Widget

When you unlink a tracker, the app can now delete the entry on the tracker service too, and it sets the start date by itself if you have already read a chapter, while tracker search results now show average scores. Backups include app and source settings, the app records when the last automatic backup ran, and you can restore only the library or only the settings. Owners of the Galaxy Z Flip5 can also place the updates widget on the small cover screen and check new chapters without opening the phone.

Who it’s for

Why Choose This Version

This build makes sense for a small group of readers, so it helps to check if you belong to that group before you install it. Mihon needs Android 8.0 Oreo or newer, which means a phone stuck on Android 6.0 or Android 7 cannot run it, while Tachiyomi 0.15.0 still installs on that phone and gives it the folder-based storage and newer reader tools. It is also one of the two builds released before 0.15.2 removed the built-in extension list, which matters to people who keep old releases for archiving or testing. Keeping the exact file that arkon shipped, together with its checksum, also protects you from fake mirrors of old APKs, which are easy to make. If your phone runs Android 8.0 or newer, skip this Tachiyomi old version and install Mihon instead, because Mihon still gets updates and this release never will.

2026 status

Does Tachiyomi 0.15.0 Still Work in 2026?

It still works for reading, but not for finding new sources. Tachiyomi shut down on January 13, 2024, and the official extension repo under tachiyomiorg/extensions is now archived on GitHub, so Tachiyomi 0.15.0 receives no new or fixed extensions from it. Keiyoushi, the main community extension store, supports only Mihon 0.20.1+, TachiyomiSY 1.13.2+ and Komikku 1.14.1+. If you add it to an old Tachiyomi build, you will only see placeholders named “Outdated App” and “Update to Mihon 0.20.1+”. The app also gets no security updates, so it works best for chapters you already saved and for your own CBZ files in the Local source. Anyone who wants working sources and regular fixes should treat this build as a backup reader and move the main library to Mihon, which the next section explains step by step.

Moving Your Library to Mihon

Moving to Mihon keeps your library safe as long as you make a backup first. In Tachiyomi, open More, then Settings, then Data and storage, create a backup, and save the .tachibk file somewhere you can find it later. Next, install Mihon v0.21.2 or newer on a phone running Android 8.0 or above, open its restore option, and pick that file. After that, add the Keiyoushi extension store under More, Settings, Browse and Extension store, and reinstall the extensions you used. Mihon 0.21.x is the last major line that reads .tachibk backups, so plan your move soon.
