taiga VS anime-offline-database

Taiga is really convenient, it's a desktop app that uses and syncs your MAL/AL/Kitsu list. It recognises when you're watching an episode (either through an official streaming site, or downloaded) and updates your list (can also be done manually in one click), it can also set your discord status as "watching XXX", which I find interesting. The interface is basic but fast, it's easy to browse your anime by score, release date, watched date, genres, etc.

I suggest https://taiga.moe/

The closest that comes to mind is Taiga, but I've not used it so I can't speak to how well it works offline.

I used to pay for anime services, but they're all just so bad in their own ways like trash sites or censorship that I canceled and started yarring. If you're not afraid to set sail and use a VPN (which I always recommend), you can use something like taiga.moe which not only lets you connect to a tracker like anilist, but also lets you search torrents for individual episodes and complete seasons.

I just use a program called Taiga that automatically syncs with my AniList account when I watch stuff on my computer, it adds started and finished date, etc. And AniList has a pretty rich stats page if that's your thing.

Basically Taiga is a open source app to keep track anime shows you have watched and update your list in an online DB like Myanimelist/Anilist, etc.

I use Anilist with Taiga for automated list updates and automail for some extra features/data on the website.

Regardless of what you choose, https://taiga.moe/ is a must because it allows you to automatically update your list without ever going to the sites themselves. Watch episode -> close window -> list auto-updates

in my free time I took upon a task to provide a somewhat centralized Search API for anime, driven by the brilliant anime-offline-database. The motivation behind that is to have a search function across multiple anime database providers.

I used the anilist api for basic information once I had the anime, but for the anime itself I used this https://github.com/manami-project/anime-offline-database
