CLUSTER ANIME-DESKTOP-LIBRARY · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-01-28

Anime local library desktop apps

This cluster comprises desktop applications that organize local anime files into searchable libraries with metadata, watch progress, and resume playback, often featuring poster walls and subtitle support. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only two dated entries exist before the index start. Among traction leaders, kuraplay leads with 2 stars, followed by dlsite-tracker and KuroPlayer each with 1 star.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
