Zangetsu v1.4.0 - Everything you need (probably)

Hey Everyone :)

I’m the assistant dev on our anime app project;

We're building an ad-free, feature-rich anime app that actually delivers on what others promised but failed to execute, with Android, android TV and ios support (coming in 2 - 3 days) we're keeping it simple with a smooth experience, clean design, and features that work as intended.

What sets us apart:

🍿 Browse and Discover

  • Netflix-style home — a rotating cinematic hero with real title-logo artwork, content rows, and a one-tap source switcher.

  • Detail pages with synopsis, cast & relations, trailers, seasons/episodes, and a smooth shimmer while loading.

🔎 Cloudstream grade search

  • Search every source at once — results grouped by source, fastest sources first — or scope to just the current source.

  • Live suggestions for both anime and movies/series as you type.

  • Filters (type, source, genre, decade), sort, a grid ⇄ rows layout choice, and See all per source. Your choices are remembered.

▶️ Player

  • Built on libmpv (media\_kit) — fast start, hardware decoding.

  • Gesture controls — swipe for brightness/volume, long-press to fast-forward, drag-to-seek, pinch-to-zoom.

  • Skip-intro, resume where you left off, auto-play next episode with up-next, sub/dub + quality switching, volume boost, and subtitle styling + online subtitles.

📚 Library & sync

  • My List and Continue Watching that follow you across the app.

  • Sign in to sync your list, progress and history across devices.

  • Offline downloads that keep working with no connection and continue in the background.

  • Auto-scrobble & list import with AniList, MyAnimeList and Simkl.

🧩 Sources you control

  • Add sources any time from Settings → Sources — the catalog grows with no app update.

  • Source health — test which of your sources are actually working, at a glance.

  • Per-source settings, optional DNS-over-HTTPS to get around ISP blocking, and the search never nags you with "verifying" pop-ups.

And more

  • New-episode notifications for shows you follow.

  • Discord Rich Presence -- show what you're watching.

  • In-app updates straight from GitHub Releases.

  • A clean, full dark theme.
