Cozy Chrome extensions for tired eyes & raw chapters.

MochiPanel is a small software studio that makes Chrome extensions for reading manga, comics, and webtoons. Our extensions sit on top of the reading sites you already use (MangaDex, Webtoons, Comick, Bato, Cubari, MangaPlus and others) and improve specific reading problems: MochiDim makes images easier on the eyes; MochiTranslate spot-translates the panels you can't read into English, directly in the bubble.

Two: MochiDim — a warm, paper-like dimming extension that reduces eye strain when reading manga and comics late at night; and MochiTranslate — an AI spot-translator that lets you hover any manga panel, click translate, and get English rendered back into the bubble. Both work in Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc.

Yes. Our extensions are designed for all image-based long-form reading: Japanese manga, Korean manhwa webtoons, Chinese manhua, Western comics, scanned art books and scanlator sites. MochiDim ships with hand-tuned reader-pane selectors for Webtoons, Tapas and other vertical-scroll sites alongside the two-page manga readers, so the warm filter applies cleanly on each.

Both extensions are one-time purchases with lifetime licenses — no subscriptions, free updates forever. MochiDim is $19 once. MochiTranslate is also $19 once, and you bring your own Gemini API key — Google bills your account directly per panel, MochiPanel takes no cut. Cached re-reads inside MochiTranslate are free, so re-opening a chapter you already translated never costs you twice. The Studio Pass bundles both extensions for $30.

No — MochiPanel never sees your reading data. Both extensions are local-first: settings live in chrome.storage on your device. MochiDim's only network call is to validate your license key. MochiTranslate also validates its license, and sends each panel you translate directly from your browser to Google's Gemini API — we don't proxy or log those requests, and translations are cached on-device so we never see them.

OS dark mode inverts colors, which breaks manga art. A generic page-brightness extension multiplies every pixel uniformly, leaving the page washed-out and muddy. MochiDim uses per-channel tone-mapping (separate curves for R, G, B) so blacks stay deep, whites become warm cream, and contrast is preserved — and it's scoped to the reader pane, so site nav and comments stay at full brightness. There's also a separate blue-light slider that layers on top, biased toward highlights where most blue photons come from.
