Anime Downloader Wiki

Welcome to the full documentation for the Downloaders.

What This Project Is

This project is a unified launcher and orchestration layer that brings together three anime downloading solutions:

  • AniWorld Downloader — A Python-based CLI tool for downloading anime with German audio/subtitles from anworld.to
  • AniWatch API — A TypeScript backend that provides REST endpoints for anime metadata and episode information from aniwatchtv.to
  • AniWatch UI — A web-based frontend for searching anime and managing downloads with a visual queue system

The launcher handles automatic dependency installation, repair, and lifecycle management for all three components. It provides a simple menu-driven interface to start services independently or together, with built-in recovery mechanisms and structured logging.

As of the standalone launcher flow, option 4 downloads AniWatch API and AniWatch runtime files automatically into a dedicated dependency folder before installing/building.
