I created a feature-rich terminal-based anime watcher - Now with full English support! [LINUX / WINDOWS]
Hello everyone,
For a while, I have been developing doccli, a terminal-based application designed for watching anime. Until recently, the tool was built specifically for Polish users, featuring only Polish language support and regional sources.
As of today, v2.40.0 is officially released, bringing full English language support, an English installer, and English source compatibility, opening the project up to a global audience.
You can check out the source code, installation guides, and releases on the GitHub Repository.
Key Features
- Anime Watch List & History: Keep track of what you are watching and resume right where you left off.
- AniList Integration: Full account integration to auto-save your progress, display ratings, and two-way synchronize your list with AniList's "Plan to Watch" tab.
- Quick Search & Randomizer: Fast search engine and an option to randomize anime from your list.
- Offline Library: Full season downloading and auto-play capabilities.
- Discord Rich Presence: Show custom statuses on your Discord profile while watching.
- Additional Tools: Next/previous episode navigation, live source availability checking, new release notifications, and program statistics.
- Built using Python, mpv, and yt-dlp.
- Heavily inspired by projects like
ani-cli, but expanded with local library management, media downloading, and deep AniList synchronization. - Windows Installer: Includes a dedicated automated installer (
.exe) from the releases page that handles directory extraction, desktop/start menu shortcuts, environment PATH configuration, and dependency setup automatically. - Linux Support: Fully compatible and operational on Linux with a quick single-command installation script.
