Aniyomi is an Android app that serves as a full-featured player and reader for manga and anime content.
The tool addresses the need for a unified interface to discover, read, and watch anime and manga on mobile devices. It provides local reading and watching capabilities with a configurable reader supporting multiple viewers and reading directions, alongside a configurable player built on mpv-android. The app integrates with tracking services including MyAnimeList, AniList, Kitsu, MangaUpdates, Shikimori, Simkl, and Bangumi, allowing users to synchronize their progress across platforms. Library organization through categories, scheduled updates for new chapters and episodes, and backup functionality for offline access or cloud storage round out its core capabilities.
Aniyomi suits Android users seeking a consolidated application for both manga reading and anime watching rather than maintaining separate tools. It works best for users who want customizable viewing and reading experiences with tracker integration. The app requires Android 8.0 or higher. The project is based on prior work from Tachiyomi and Mihon, building on established foundations in the manga and anime reader space.
The project maintains an active code of conduct and contributing guide, welcoming pull requests with a requirement to open issues for major changes beforehand. The team directs users to consult the FAQ and changelog before reporting issues and provides a Discord server for questions. The repository shows a substantial history of community contributions, with multiple developers having participated in the codebase over time.
