dosage

dosage is an open-source Linux command-line script for keeping a local copy of selected webcomics and other picture-based content. It is intended for readers who want to retrieve strips from particular sites and keep them available locally. The tool supports webcomics as well as Picture of the Day sites, covering recurring visual material beyond a single comic format.

Using dosage, a reader can request the latest available strip from a webcomic. It can also catch up to the last strip downloaded, allowing continued retrieval from the point reached previously. When the site's layout permits it, dosage can retrieve a strip for a particular date or index.

The command-line interface is the means by which users request the latest strip, catch up, or select a date or index. These functions make dosage suitable for focused retrieval of picture-based content rather than general web browsing. Advanced options and features can be reviewed by executing dosage --help.

In the MirrorNest catalog, dosage is listed for Linux in the Graphics & Design category. MirrorNest stores the official build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing. The software is open-source, and this listing is not an official snap.
