    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 2.36.0

    Emails that arrive, roles of your own, more languages, and pictures next to names.

    • Emails from a Kioku server now carry a Message-ID. Without one, Gmail and other providers refused some of them or filed them as spam, so some members never got the email to confirm their address. Emails the mail server puts off go again for about a day instead of being lost.
    • Server, People shows how each member's last email went, with Send confirmation again and Mark address confirmed. Send me a test email says at once whether the mail server takes it, with its answer when it does not.
    • Roles of your own beside member, moderator and admin, such as Beta: a name, a colour, the abilities they give, and a badge next to names on profiles and forum posts. A chip on each member's row gives a role or takes it.
    • Twelve more languages to translate Kioku into on a server: French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Dutch, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Indonesian and Vietnamese, each started with the texts seen most.
    • Watch together shows the picture of each person in the room and in its chat who is a member of your Kioku server. Reviews, a list's owner and the guests of a watch party show their pictures too.
    • When a service refuses the client ID or its return address, connecting shows the exact address to register and a Change client button.

    Download and first start

    System File First start
    Windows 10 and 11 Kioku-2.36.0-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-2.36.0-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-2.36.0-linux-x64.tar.gz, Kioku-2.36.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz Extract and run ./kioku. Kioku adds itself to the application menu.
    Browser extension Kioku-2.36.0-extension-chromium.zip, Kioku-2.36.0-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-2.36.0-linux-x64.tar.gz, Kioku-server-2.36.0-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.
