Hey everyone,

Just shipped Neko, an AniList client I've been building for the past few months. Android only for now.

There are already great clients out there (AniHyou, Otraku, Kagami) so I'm not trying to replace any of them — I just wanted a couple of features I always wished existed, with the standard tracking on top.

Two things bugged me enough to build for.

You should be able to find anime by describing what you're in the mood for, not just by remembering exact titles. So there's a search where you type something like "revenge anime with an op mc" or "anime like one piece" and it finds matches. The whole thing runs on the phone, nothing leaves the device.

The other was watch order. Every time I tried to start a long franchise (Monogatari, Fate, Gundam) I'd end up opening three Reddit threads. So there's a franchise chain view built straight from AniList's relations data — every season, OVA, movie and side story laid out in the proper order so you can just tap through it.

What else is in there:

• Full offline mode — your list, home, browse and search all keep working without signal • Airing calendar for the shows on your list • Mood discovery cards • MAL list import • Where-to-watch info per title • Standard AniList tracking for anime, manga, manhwa, manhua and light novels • plus a bunch of smaller bits I'll let you stumble on

Working on right now and hoping to push in the next update:

• Push notifications for airing episodes and ongoing manhwa/manga chapters • A barcode scanner for tracking your physical manga collection, since I haven't seen any tracker actually solve that one

Curious which of those two matters more to you — would help me figure out what to prioritise.

iOS port is on the table if there's interest, so drop a comment if you want it.

Honest feedback (good or bad) really helps. If something's broken just tell me and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nekoapp (Reddit mobile sometimes won't open Play Store links — if it doesn't, search "Neko AniList" by Shaz0x or paste com.nekoapp into Play Store search.)

How do you usually find new anime when you don't have a specific title in mind?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Just shipped the Android app I've been building for the past few months it's called Neko, and it's an AniList client. Still a lot to polish and I'll keep adding stuff over the next few months.

I know there are already great clients out there (AniHyou, Otraku, Kagami) so I'm not trying to replace any of them, but I wanted to build a couple of features I personally always wanted, and added all the standard tracking on top.

The main idea was simple:

You should be able to find anime by describing what you're in the mood for, not just by remembering exact titles.

So I built a search that takes a plain description like "revenge anime with an op mc" or "anime like one piece" and finds matches (yeah, sounds odd, but it actually works 😅). The whole thing runs on the phone, nothing leaves the device.

The other thing that always bugged me is watch order. Every time I tried to start a long franchise (Monogatari, Fate, Gundam) I'd have to google a chart or open three Reddit threads. So there's a franchise chain view built straight from AniList's relations data, every season, OVA, movie and side story laid out in the proper order so you can just tap through it.

👉 What else is in there:

• Mood discovery cards for when you don't know what to watch • MAL list import • Where-to-watch info per title • Standard AniList tracking for anime, manga, manhwa, manhua and light novels

Basically I wanted something that combines:

👉 description-based search + watch-order trees + standard tracking

Stuff I'm working on right now and hoping to push in the next update:

• Push notifications for the series in your list — airing episode alerts the moment a new ep drops, and chapter notifications for ongoing manhwa/manga so you stop having to refresh sites manually • A barcode scanner for tracking your physical manga collection, since I haven't seen any tracker actually solve that one

Comments / feedback on these two are very welcome, would help me figure out which one to prioritise or what I'm missing.

Android only for now. iOS port is on the table if there's interest, so drop a comment if you want it and I'll start porting.

I'm still improving it so honest feedback (good or bad 🙏) would really help. If something is broken just tell me and I'll fix it.

Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nekoapp (Reddit mobile sometimes won't open Play Store links. If it doesn't open, search "Neko AniList" by Shaz0x or paste com.nekoapp into Play Store search.)

Also just wanted to know:

Hey everyone,

The main idea was simple:

You should be able to find anime by describing what you're in the mood for, not just by remembering exact titles.

So I built a search that takes a plain description like "revenge anime with an op mc" or "slow burn romance manhwa" and finds matches (yeah, sounds odd, but it actually works 😅). The whole thing runs on the phone, nothing leaves the device.

👉 What it does:

• Search by description, fully on-device • Mood discovery cards for when you don't know what to watch • Franchise chain view (uses AniList's relations data, watch order is built right in) • MAL list import • Airing calendar with countdowns • Where-to-watch info per title • Offline mode with around 40k titles cached

🔥 What makes it different:

• Search by typing a description, not just titles • Discovery built around moods instead of genres • Full offline catalog (about 40k titles) • Native Android, not a web wrapper

Basically I wanted something that combines:

👉 description-based search + standard tracking + works offline

Tracks anime, manga, manhwa, manhua and light novels. Android only for now, iOS maybe later if there's interest.

I'm still improving it so honest feedback (good or bad 🙏) would really help. If something is broken just tell me and I'll fix it.
