ani-cli

Popular CLI to browse and watch anime from the terminal, alone or in sync with friends.

Desktopfreeglobal

A command-line application for browsing and watching anime from the terminal, with fzf/rofi selection, mpv playback, and an ani-skip plugin to skip intros and outros. It avoids ad-heavy browser players and adds Syncplay support for synchronized group viewing, aimed at terminal-first anime fans and groups who want shared watch parties; the project is open-source under GPL-3.0 and runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, WSL, Android, iOS, Steam Deck and FreeBSD.
