Seamlessly synchronize your anime and manga tracking lists across multiple platforms.
Ani-Sync is a high-performance, non-destructive CLI tool designed for power users who want to keep their MyAnimeList, AniList, Kitsu, and MangaBaka accounts in perfect harmony.
- 🚀 Uni-directional Sync: Keep your Anime and Manga lists synchronized between all supported services.
- 🛡️ Non-Destructive: Ani-Sync never deletes entries. It only adds new ones or updates existing data, ensuring your history is always safe.
- 📊 Rich Sync Plans: Preview every change in a colorized, high-fidelity ASCII table before applying it.
- 🧬 ID-Based Precision: Uses MAL, AniList, and Kitsu IDs to ensure 100% accurate mapping across services.
- 🔐 Secure by Design: Sensitive API tokens are stored safely in your operating system's native credential manager (Keychain, Secret Service, etc.).
- ⚡ Built for Speed: Written in Rust with an asynchronous engine for lightning-fast API operations.
