GutterGutter with Kavita
Gutter talks to Kavita through Kavita's own API. It needs Kavita 0.9 or later.
Connect
- Open Gutter and select Kavita.
- Enter the server address, for example
kavita.example.com:5000. - Enter your Kavita username and password. Or tap Use an API key and paste your account's auth key.
- Tap Connect. Your library loads.
Gutter uses your password once, to get your account's auth key from Kavita. It saves only the key. Use https if your server has it. Gutter does not send your login over plain http unless you type http:// yourself.

Sync
Gutter reads your series from Kavita when it opens, when you come back to it, and when you pull to refresh. It keeps a copy on the device, so the library opens at once and stays browsable without the server.
If you read while the server is out of reach, Gutter sends the progress the next time it can reach it.
Not supported
Gutter connects to Komga, Kavita and the Gutter server. It cannot add other OPDS servers. It does not open EPUB files and it cannot import files from the device.
