Legal and contact

Kaeri doesn’t host any shows. You add your own sources.

Apart from a demo of Creative Commons works, Kaeri comes with no sources, and it doesn’t list, recommend or link to any. It is a free, open-source app for watching and tracking anime, made by volunteers and released under the MIT licence.

Playback and sync

Kaeri plays video from sources you add, keeps your watch history on your device, and syncs it to the trackers you sign in to. It is built for media you own, servers you run, streams you have the right to play, licensed services and tracker sync. Browsing uses AniList’s public data.

Plugins, stores and DRM

Kaeri ships no plugin and no plugin store, and it doesn’t list, link to or review any of them. It never gets round DRM: a licensed stream opens in the service that carries it.

The demo

The one source that comes with Kaeri is a demo of a work its makers share under Creative Commons. The apps stream it from Wikimedia Commons, show its credit and licence wherever it appears, and let you remove it in Sources.

Sources you add

Add only sources you are entitled to use: your own files, your own media server, a stream you have the right to play, a licensed service, or a plugin from a store you joined.

A plugin is written by someone else and comes from a plugin store that someone else runs. The store’s owner chooses what it lists and is responsible for it. A plugin’s author is responsible for the sources it reaches and the rights it relies on.

Services Kaeri talks to

AniList, MyAnimeList, Kitsu, Simkl and Trakt are connected through their public APIs for browsing and sync. Trailers play in YouTube’s own player. Kaeri is not affiliated with any of them. What the apps send to each one is on the privacy page.

Contact

To report something on this website, in the repository or in a release file, write to [email protected] with the address of what you are reporting and why. We read every message and aim to answer within seven days.

Kaeri can’t remove anything from a plugin store or a source run by someone else. Write to that store’s owner, whose contact is on the store’s page, or to the service that hosts it. Reports about the code on GitHub can also go through GitHub’s own process.
