Weeb Toolkit

Enjoy anime, manga and novels on all your devices, no matter the OS

Build Your Setup

A Well-Stocked Workshop.

Apps, players, downloaders, and the small utilities that quietly make everything else run smoother, across Android, iOS, and desktop.

Dedicated apps for anime, manga, and novels across every platform, plus the trackers that keep progress synced between them.

Anime

Most of these run on the Mihon extension system and ship empty by default, so you'll need to sideload a source repo before they show any content.

Manga: Mihon and its forks
Manga: Kotatsu and its family
Manga: all-in-one and local readers
Mihon-adjacent utilities
Novel
Trackers

AniList: AL-Chan, Aluminium, AniHyou, Kurumi, Otraku

MyAnimeList: DailyAL, MoeList, Risuto

Others: Kitsune and Nekome for Kitsu, OpenComicVine for comics, VNDB Lite for visual novels

Sideloading apps on Apple devices

Check out CFW, JCoinx, and The Apple Wiki for guides on jailbreaking and sideloading.

Novel

Mangayomi, Readest, and Yomu (paid) cover novel reading on iOS.

Trackers
Anime
Streaming torrents without a dedicated client

qBittorrent can stream a torrent while it downloads, enable "Download in sequential order" in its settings, then open the file once a few chunks are in. TorrServer and WebTorrent work the same way if you want alternatives.

Novel

Calibre, Freda, Koodo Reader, Okular, Readest, SumatraPDF, Thorium Reader, and Yomikiru all cover local novel reading on desktop.

Trackers

AniCour, Chibi, Hachidori, Keroro, MAL-Sync, Tadoku, Taiga, Trackma, and Tundra each sync to different combinations of AniList, MAL, Kitsu, Shikimori, or VNDB.

Reading & general tools

KOReader is the standard reader for e-ink devices, with rakuyomi as an Aidoku-extension-powered alternative on Linux-based readers. Calibre remains the go-to for library management and format conversion.

Conversion & transfer

Kindle Comic Converter preps CBZ files for Kindle displays, while send2ereader and Send to Kindle handle getting files onto the device itself.

Downloaders, converters, image search engines, tracker stat sites, and a corner dedicated to archived otaku history. If it makes your setup smoother without being a full app, it lives here.

Anime & manga

Anime Downloader NX handles anime downloads from the command line. For manga, Free Manga Downloader 2, JAM, and gallery-dl cover most sources, while HDoujin Downloader specializes in doujin platforms.

Specific-case tools

BookWalker Downloader, Clip Studio Reader Downloader, Getjump, and Mangaplus Downloader NG each target one specific platform's quirks.

Novels & DRM

WebtoEpub, Epublifier, and Lightnovel Crawler convert web novels into readable ebook formats. For DRM removal, KeyDive, N_m3u8DL-RE, pywidevine, and Unshackle are the current standard toolset.

Comics

Kapowarr and Mylar3 both automate comic downloading and library management, similar to how Sonarr works for TV.

Upscaling & metadata

AnimeJaNai upscales anime in real time through mpv, while nativeres helps identify a video's true native resolution. Anicon for AniList generates custom icons from your AniList data, and Manami plus Shoko Anime both handle local library organization.

Conversion & metadata

ACBR, CBconvert, CbxConverter, and ComicbookArchiveToolbox all handle format conversion and compression. For tagging, ComicTagger and Manga Manager organize metadata across your library.

Covers & rendering

DarkThumbs and Icaros fix thumbnail generation issues. MangaJaNai and its Converter GUI handle upscaling specifically for manga pages, while XpdfReader and Poppler cover PDF rendering needs.

Getting started

Our FireStick Guide is a good starting point for setting Stremio up properly, paired with the Stremio Addons catalog for browsing what's available.

Tracking & catalog add-ons

SyncriBullet, Animeo, MAL-Stremio Addon, and Simkl Addons sync your Stremio activity back to whichever tracker you use. Anime Catalogs, AIOStreams, Debrid Media Manager, Jackett Addon, and Addon Manager round out sourcing and organization.

Anime & manga misc

Anime Bingo, due.moe, Konsumr, Related Anime, and WikiTimeline each pull creative or practical use out of your tracker data. Manga Adaptations links source manga to their anime versions, MyDubList tracks English dub availability, and Randime plus Spin.moe both help you pick something random to watch next.

Reverse image search

SauceNAO, Trace (built specifically for anime screenshots), ascii2d, and iqdb all identify source material from an image. Slowpoke Pics is handy separately for comparing image quality side by side.

Tracker stats & tools

For visualizing your watch history: Sekai, Anistats, anime.plus, KitsuStats, and MAL Badges. For managing your list directly: AniCheck, AniListDiff, AniTools, aniTrakt, and MAL Exporter.

General archives

CosmoDNA, Digital World Archive (Digimon-focused), MAD ANGLER PRESS, Media Monster, MercuryFalcon, Otaku Archive (by the Anime World Order team), Otaku Print Archive, The Magazine Rack, Tuxedo Unmasked, Wiz Kaleb, and Zimmerit preserve otaku print media, scans, and history across genres.

Anime-specific

80s OVA, Anime Magazine Archive, Anime Preservation Society, Animétudes, Anime World by Tim Eldred, and Let's Anime all dig into production history and rare archival footage. For official art specifically, check our Art page.

Manga & games

Manga: Comic Bibliographic and Cover Archives and MANGA bookshelf catalog Japanese print history.

Games: Old Game Mags, Forgotten Worlds, Gaming Alexandria, and the VGHF Archive preserve gaming print and cultural history.

Twitter accounts worth following

Run your own library instead of relying on someone else's server, with a client for nearly every platform and a few sync tools to keep everything talking to each other.

By media type
By server & platform

Plezy works as a general cross-platform client for most of the above. For Audiobookshelf specifically: Plappa and Prologue (both iOS). For Jellyfin: Jellyfin MPV Shim and Streamyfin. For Komga: Komelia and Komik. For LANraragi: Ichaival, LANreader, and LRReader. For Seanime: Seanime Tenji.

Connecting servers to trackers

MAL-Sync bridges nearly everything. For Jellyfin specifically: Jellyfin-RPC, the MAL Metadata Plugin, and the Shikimori plugin. For Kavita and Komga: komf and the Komga Bulk Download Helper. For Plex: Plex to AniList Sync and AniBridge. Tailscale is worth having regardless, for accessing your server securely from anywhere.

A note on Mihon and forks

Android apps built on the Mihon extension system (Aniyomi, Dantotsu, and their forks) can double as clients for Jellyfin, Komga, Kavita, and LANraragi once the right extension is loaded.

Small quality-of-life additions for your browser, covering anime streaming, manga reading, tracker syncing, and general image or privacy utilities.

Anime

animepahe Enhancer, Animepahe Plus, Anime Skip Player, Aniskip, Crunchyroll With Better Seasons, Streaming Enhanced, and Substital all improve streaming site UX or add skip-intro functionality.

Manga

All Manga Reader turns scattered manga sites into a unified reader interface. Image Max URL, Manganato Enhancer, and Similar Manga each fix a specific site annoyance or add discovery features.

Trackers

MALSync auto-tracks progress across most streaming and reading sites. MAL Redesigned refreshes MyAnimeList's dated UI, and Web Scrobbler extends scrobbling to Last.fm and similar services.

Image

Betterviewer improves in-browser image viewing, while Search by Image adds reverse image search to your right-click menu across multiple engines at once.

General

Buster helps solve captchas faster, Indie Wiki Buddy redirects fandom wiki links to ad-free alternatives, Live Stream Downloader grabs HLS streams directly, NopeCHA automates captcha solving, Selection adds a quick-action menu on text selection, Translate Web Pages handles inline translation, and Violentmonkey runs the userscripts referenced throughout this page.
