    Kioku is a tracker for anime, manga, light novels and visual novels that runs on your own computer. It is made first for Windows and works on macOS and Linux too. Your library lives in a database on your computer, syncs with AniList, MyAnimeList, AniDB, Kitsu, MangaBaka, Shikimori, Simkl, Bangumi and VNDB, sends to Trakt, plays your episodes in mpv or follows the player you already use, reads your manga and light novels, and lets you watch together with friends. Kioku speaks English, Slovak and Czech.

    New in 2.139.0

    • Picking settles a flat order sooner: titles that share a rating stand for the middle of their places (a single won pick no longer counts as loved, and tiers spread out), a title never picked meets one picked, S skips as Can't choose does, the best of four counts each pick from the ratings before, placing a title takes about three picks, U steps back within it, and Undo takes back only its own pick.
    • Turn your picks into scores keeps the scores you gave and waits while many titles share a place; a title's page shows a shared place as a range, and the library sorts by picks kind by kind.
    • Planned titles drop the ratings of picks made when Planning was among them, so one you finish later is placed afresh.
    • Services says what is true of a service read by hand: changes go as you make them, the line says when they were last sent and when the list was read, a sync's toast says what it took and sent, and the history leaves out quiet syncs.
    • Backups are packed to a quarter of their size, a restored backup that does not open gives your library back, a failed daily backup shows under its switch, and a day of only settings, favourites, lists or Up next is backed up too.
    • Franchises: an announced season no longer leaves a watched franchise unfinished, a dropped season settles it, recap films are recaps, each card says the next title or the season you skipped, and franchises of one title with a skipped season show too.

    Download and first start

    System File First start
    Windows 10 and 11 Kioku-2.139.0-windows.zip Unzip it and double-click Kioku.exe. Kioku is not code signed, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway. Kioku adds itself to the Start menu.
    macOS 12 and later Kioku-2.139.0-macos.zip Move Kioku to Applications and open it. It is not notarized, so the first time open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
    Linux x64 and arm64 Kioku-2.139.0-linux-x64.tar.gz, Kioku-2.139.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz Extract and run ./kioku. Kioku adds itself to the application menu.
    Browser extension Kioku-2.139.0-extension-chromium.zip, Kioku-2.139.0-extension-firefox.zip Chromium-based browsers: unzip, open the extensions page, turn on Developer mode and choose Load unpacked. Firefox: about:debugging > This Firefox > Load Temporary Add-on (Developer Edition and Nightly can keep it for good).
    Kioku server (Linux x64 and arm64) Kioku-server-2.139.0-linux-x64.tar.gz, Kioku-server-2.139.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz For your own Kioku server with docker or podman: curl -fsSL https://git.toxik.space/Toxuki/kioku/raw/branch/main/deploy/install.sh | bash -s -- --domain your.domain, or extract the archive and run ./kioku.sh install --domain your.domain. Its README.md covers Nginx Proxy Manager, the firewall, updates and backups.

    SHA256SUMS lists the checksums of every file. Kioku opens in a window of its own (WebView2 on Windows; on Linux WebKitGTK, or a Chromium-based browser's app window with NVIDIA graphics or without WebKitGTK; the default browser as a last resort). To connect AniList, open Services, choose Connect on AniList and approve: nothing else to set up. The first sync is always a preview that changes nothing until you apply it.

    To play episodes in Kioku's own player, install mpv; or keep the player you have and let Kioku follow it. Everything else Kioku needs comes with it or installs itself.

    Everything Kioku does and good to know: the full notes. Earlier releases: all notes.
