Seanime is a self-hosted media server with a web interface and desktop application for organizing and managing anime and manga collections.
The tool addresses the need for a centralized platform to catalog, organize, and access anime and manga libraries without relying on external services. It provides both web and desktop interfaces for browsing and managing content, integrating with AniList for metadata and supporting multiple content sources including torrent and debrid services. The server component handles library scanning and organization while the client applications deliver the viewing experience across different platforms.
Seanime suits users who want full control over their anime and manga collections and prefer self-hosted solutions over cloud-dependent alternatives. It works well for individuals building personal media libraries who need flexible source options and don't want to depend on third-party hosting. The project is particularly relevant for those already familiar with self-hosting infrastructure and comfortable managing their own servers.
The project shows consistent development activity with regular updates to both core functionality and user-facing features. Work spans across multiple areas including library management, media source integration, and interface refinement. The codebase maintains active maintenance with attention to bug fixes and feature additions across the Go backend and React frontend components.
