What is seanime?

A self-hosted media server — turn your NAS/VPS into a personal cinema. Stream movies & music to your household without subscription dependency.

Main components

• Cross-platform: Web interface and desktop app for Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Seanime Denshi: Desktop client with built-in video player (support for SSA/ASS subtitles, Anime4K sharpening, auto translation, and more)
• AniList Integration: Browse and manage your lists, discover anime and manga
• Custom Sources: Support for adding non-AniList anime and manga series
• Library Management: Fast and smart scanning of local files without strict naming conventions or folder structures
• Torrent Integration: Built-in torrent search engine via extensions and downloading support with Qbittorrent, Transmission, Torbox, and Real-Debrid
• Torrent Streaming: Stream torrents directly to the media player without waiting for downloads (supports Bittorrent, Torbox and Real-Debrid)
• Online Streaming: Watch anime from online sources directly within the app via extensions

The biggest strength is offline-first streaming + ad-free + unlimited library scaled by your disk size.

Best for families building home theaters, small hotels streaming internal media, creators archiving work.
