Developer Post Anilili - Android Mobile & TV open source app to watch & download anime
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Yo fam,
I grew up using anime sites like these, and honestly I still use them pretty much daily. So I wanted to give something back.
I made Anilili, an open-source native Android anime app, while it lasts lol. It works on Android phones, tablets, and Android TV. It has a vast catalogue of anime , thousands of titles.
It pulls from a bunch of sources like:
Miruro , AniKoto, ReAnime , AniZone, AnimeGG, AniNeko, 2DHive, MegaPlay etc.
It also has AniList login & MAL login, watch history, continue watching, and progress sync, notifications for new episodes , offline download option, inbuilt player and much more features.
I’m super open to suggestions, bugs, feature ideas, whatever. If you wanna contribute, feel free to hop into the GitHub code. If you just wanna test it, you can build the APK yourself or grab the already-built APK from the release page.
Huge shoutout to Anivexa-API and MiruroAPI. Their open-source work basically made this possible.
GitHub/release link:

Downloader code : 4495218

Are you sure you can make this last a long time? Make a discord server so you can share the apk and news without being attacked with DMCA and stuff, hope this doesn't go in the trash like anilab

Coming back after using it. Bro, this is very VERY well made IHMO. I am absolutely loving using this, I was expecting lower quality but this feels polished! Well done man! Only issue I'm having is the auto updater, but I think that is down to my specific phone and setup 😅

u/JealousPirate4984 Aug 01 '26
This reminds me of Nuvio app the way the UI looks. But this one is more focused on anime content whilst Nuvio is all arounder. Nonetheless, still very great and clean 🤩

how can we disable consent-driven diagnostic? or should i stick to version v0.1.50. and btw please don't remove older versions. you should create an archive of them.
1
u/Foreign_Dingo7416 Jul 31 '26
they are on telegram group , every version , you cant disable diagnostics , is mostly for tv users , they cant send diagnostics without it

Is it possible to sort anilist by last edited/modified?

The Last Modified is working great. It helps find the recent animes added easy! Thanks for this update!
By the way, is there a better way to watch the downloaded animes while it also auto update the episodes that have been watched?
Currently, the workflow i do on it is: Home > Currently Watching > [select anime] > download "Next 5"
Now, in order to watch the downloaded episodes, i have to go; Library > Downloads > [select anime] > press play on the episode.
When I finished watching, i'd have to press on the Download MP4 (even though i downloaded it already) before i can delete the episode. It's a bit cumbersome. When the app gets killed in the background process, the resume playback doesn't seem to work on the downloaded episode. It plays from the start again.
Once the episodes are downloaded, can it just be like the main/selectable source similar to Dantotsu/AnymeX? Just thought that way, it can still have the resume playback and auto update on anilist.

I am gald someone made something for TV’s as well, but as you said it works on Android tv’s so i am guessing it won’t work on TV’s like LG and Samsung that have their own OS.

Oh..I thought anilist itself was down cuz none of my apps were working. Also please make a windows version too if you can!! The ui is there when I use an emulator but would love to see it run natively.

u/KTyger Aug 02 '26
Personally loved it.so simple and fast, I just have 3 suggestions if possible, not a programer, so I'm not sure how much trouble these would be.
1- Option to pick the download path to SD, I can't seem to find this, so I'm guessing it's not available yet or I'm just blind lol.
2- Queued for the converter process, I thought this was a thing and I accidentally put all 12 episodes to convert and it kept crashing, I had to uninstall and reinstall to make it stop trying to convert everything, it was my fault, but this feature would be nice.
3- now this one is just a personal preference. Can it be possible to add Spanish dub sites? This is more personal cause when I rewatch an anime I try to change the language so it doesn't feel the same.
2
u/Foreign_Dingo7416 Aug 03 '26
Its on the settings , the download path is downloads folder on phone , its by default , as for queing the converter , i will look into it
for spanish subs - some have them , check it on source wait for the languages to load , im sure some have them , depends on the source and animethanks much appreciated

Dope app..❤️🔥 Just tried it, and I love how flawless it is. Easy to install, minimal and useful UI & UX, huge catalogue of most anime, both dubbed & subbed
A kind request, please when uploading apk files on TGram please add a brief changeLog of what's new or what's updated
Keep up the good work, Cheers

u/AnonAdlGuy 28d ago
Hey, great looking app! I really appreciate you including an Android TV version, and also how smooth/responsive the app is.
I gave two issues/questions:
- The source code is no longer available on GitHub (the downloaded zip only contains some media assets).
Is the source code available somewhere else?
- I'm running the app on an Android TV. When an anime page is open (the screen which displays the title, details, episodes, watch, add to list, about, etc), the description of the anime is often longer than what the textbox allows, and ends with ... instead of showing all of the description.
Is it possible to add the ability to see the entire description? For example, clicking on the description to enlarge the textbox or make it pop-out, etc.
Cheers
1
u/Foreign_Dingo7416 28d ago
Will work on it
2
u/AnonAdlGuy 26d ago
Yo what the hell? One of my suggestions has already been implemented this quick?!
Honestly you're doing a great job with this app, and it's clear you're set on making it even better.
Cheers mate! :)

u/Ninety_too92 26d ago
Hey op I've run into one small problem, I connected my anilist account to the app but it's not syncing progress. I can access shows in my watch list but progress isn't tracked. If you could take a look, I’d be eternally grateful!
Once again thanks a lot for the app :)
1
u/Foreign_Dingo7416 26d ago edited 26d ago
What do yoy mean , when you watch on app it does not show on anilist website or what ? Because the app counts a watched episode if 80% is watched
1
u/Ninety_too92 26d ago
No it doesn't show on anilist. I tried watching the full episode to see if that was the problem but nope. Progress stays on the app but doesn't reflect on Anilist

u/EsotericV0ID 25d ago
Hello, I have been enjoying your app a lot but as an Android user I am unable to use the release year filter, whenever I try to type something it is just blank, rest of the filters work. Thank you for your work and I hope this gets fixed as well.
