mal-cli

A terminal‑based client for MyAnimeList that lets users browse and manage their anime and manga lists without leaving the command line. Built with Rust and the Ratatui library, it provides a keyboard‑driven interface where keys such as s, r, Ctrl +p, and Esc navigate between pages, open pop‑ups, and move forward or backward through entries. The program can display detailed pages for individual titles and, when run in a GPU‑enhanced terminal like kitty, can render images inline.

The tool is distributed as a pre‑compiled binary for Windows, macOS, Linux, and as a Cargo package, with additional support for Arch Linux via the AUR and Debian‑based systems via .deb packages. Users must create a MyAnimeList API client ID and configure it in a YAML file, where logging can be enabled for debugging.

Targeted at fans of anime and manga who prefer a fast, keyboard‑centric workflow, the client offers a stable, open‑source alternative to web or GUI based, focusing on speed and terminal integration.
