01
Zero Tracking
No analytics, no telemetry, no "personalized experience" nonsense. What you watch never leaves your phone.
02
No Ads
No pre-rolls, no mid-rolls, no popups begging for premium. The episode just plays.
03
Multi-Source
Two providers under the hood. If one fails mid-episode, the app quietly tries the next one.
04
Fully Open
The whole codebase is on GitHub. Read it, fork it, or send a fix — that's how it got this far.

ANIME DETAIL

Every detail,
at a glance.

Open any anime and you get the trailer, the synopsis, when the next episode airs, and what to watch after it ends.

YouTube Trailer Deep Link Sharing Airing Schedule Episode Countdown
  • 01
    Auto-Play Trailer

    The trailer starts playing on its own. Pulled from AniList, no YouTube app needed.

    Every anime has a link (aniraku://anime/{id}) that opens straight in the app.

  • 03
    Airing Countdown

    Following something weekly? It tells you exactly how long until the next episode.

  • 04
    Relations

    Sequels, prequels, side stories — the whole watch order in one sideways scroll.

    Privacy policy, terms, DMCA, open-source licenses — all inside the app, in plain words.

WATCH

Watch
your way.

It works the way your hands expect: tap to pause, swipe for volume, double-tap to skip. You'll never open the help page.

Gesture Controls Picture-in-Picture Custom Subtitles Sleep Timer
01 · SEEK

Double-tap left to jump back 10 seconds, right to jump forward. Hold your finger down for 2× speed.

02 · SWIPE

Slide up the left edge for brightness, the right edge for volume. Drag the bar to scrub.

03 · SUBTITLES

English tracks included where available, drawn big and readable over the picture.

04 · SOURCES

Sub and Dub servers listed side by side. If the stream dies, the app tries the next option by itself.

05 · SLEEP

Falling asleep to an episode? Set the timer from 15 minutes to 2 hours and it'll pause for you.

01Is this app completely free?+

Yep. No price, no premium tier, no "free*" asterisk. If you ever pay, it's a donation because you felt like it.

02Do I need an account?+

Nope. Install it and watch. An account only matters if you want your watch history and library synced.

03Does this track my data?+

No analytics, no telemetry, nothing phoning home about what you watch. Check the source if you don't believe it.

04What devices are supported?+

Anything on Android 9 or newer. Not sure which chip your phone has? Just take the universal APK.

05Why isn't this on the Play Store?+

Google doesn't allow this kind of app. Direct downloads from GitHub mean you always know exactly what you're installing.

06Is this legal?+

Aniraku doesn't host a single video — it's a player that reaches public sources. Whether watching them is fine where you live is on you, so check your local laws.

07Can I contribute?+

Please do. Bug reports, translations, code — it all lives on GitHub and every bit helps.
