MAL Rater 🎬

Bulk-rate your MyAnimeList backlog — fast. Connect your MAL account and MAL Rater shows every anime you've completed but never scored, one at a time, with its cover and synopsis. Press 1–10 and the rating saves straight to MyAnimeList and jumps to the next. Clear a backlog of hundreds in minutes.

• ⌨️ Keyboard-first — 1–9 to score, 0 for 10, S to skip. Auto-advances.
• 🔒 Official MAL OAuth — you log in on MyAnimeList; it never sees your password and writes only to your own list.
• 🖼️ Cover, English + original title, synopsis, genres — straight from the MAL API.
• 💾 Progress persists (and every rating is already saved to MAL).
• 🆓 Free, no tracking. Runs on a single Cloudflare Worker (+ KV for sessions).

How it works

A Cloudflare Worker serves the UI and handles MyAnimeList OAuth2 (PKCE). It reads your completed-but-unrated list from the official MAL API, and PATCHes each score back. Card art/synopsis come from the MAL API too (Jikan is a fallback). Session tokens live in KV.

Self-host

pnpm install
npx wrangler kv namespace create TOKENS   # put the id in wrangler.toml

1. Register a MAL API app at myanimelist.net/apiconfig (App type web, Redirect URL https://<your-worker>/oauth/callback).
2. Set the secrets:

   npx wrangler secret put MAL_CLIENT_ID
   npx wrangler secret put MAL_CLIENT_SECRET

3. npx wrangler deploy

Privacy

MAL Rater stores only an OAuth session token (in Cloudflare KV, keyed by a cookie) so it can save your ratings. It never sees your password and writes only to your own list.
