    Kioku is a tracker for anime, manga and light 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 and Bangumi, 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 2.32.0

    More to do with friends and clubs on a Kioku account.

    • Clubs have a calendar: watch a title together a few episodes a week (members hear when each week starts, at the same hour on your clock all year), see the club's parties and weeks ahead, and add them to a calendar app. Clubs can name members' roles and give badges of their own.
    • Challenge a friend to finish a title or a list first, with your progress side by side.
    • Rank titles with friends in a shared tier list and see how much you agree.
    • Ask your friends whether to start a title; they answer yes or no with a line.
    • Every title recommended to you waits in one inbox, to plan or put aside.
    • Keep lines you love from titles on your profile, and make playlists of openings and endings that play one after another.
    • Keep manga or novels out of your activity, or show it to close friends only; lists and playlists can be for close friends too.
    • Forum threads take tags you can follow; episode threads show how the episode felt to everyone; each title has a guide anyone can write (where to start, watch order, what to skip); thank members for fixing a title's record.
    • The Seasons page shows what your friends plan, and each season has a bingo card of anime moments to tick together.
    • Past watch parties keep who came and what was said in the room. People with a taste like yours show on People.
    • A post you have not sent waits as a draft on every device.

    Download and first start

    System File First start
    Windows 10 and 11 Kioku-2.32.0-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-2.32.0-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-2.32.0-linux-x64.tar.gz, Kioku-2.32.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz Extract and run ./kioku. Kioku adds itself to the application menu.
    Browser extension Kioku-2.32.0-extension-chromium.zip, Kioku-2.32.0-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-2.32.0-linux-x64.tar.gz, Kioku-server-2.32.0-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.
