Mylar3

Mylar3 is a web-based automation tool for building and maintaining a comic book library. It monitors series you follow, searches for new issues via NZB and torrent sources, and then post-processes downloads into an organized collection.

Key Features

• Series watchlists with monitoring for new issues and updated information
• Integration with common NZB and torrent download clients, plus “blackhole” workflows
• Automatic grabbing, sorting, and configurable file/folder renaming
• Weekly pull-list browsing and monitoring, including viewing releases weeks ahead
• Library scanning to find and download missing issues
• Failed-download handling to retry with alternative releases
• Issue metadata tagging (built on a modified ComicTagger) and series information export
• Notifications for snatches/downloads via supported notification services
• Story-arc tracking to help maintain reading order across series

Use Cases

• Automatically keep up with ongoing comic series and new weekly releases
• Repair and complete an existing library by detecting and fetching missing issues
• Standardize naming, folder layout, and embedded metadata for reader apps and managers

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily focused on comic formats (CBR/CBZ); trade paperbacks/graphic novels are monitored with some workflow limitations
• Requires working indexer/provider configuration and compatible download clients for best results

Mylar3 is well-suited for homelab and media-automation setups that want hands-off comic acquisition and consistent library organization. It combines release monitoring, download automation, and robust post-processing to help keep collections complete and tidy.
