How Aniyomi Tracking Works with MyAnimeList, AniList, and Kitsu

Aniyomi can automatically keep track of the series you watch and sync that progress to external tracking services including MyAnimeList, AniList, and Kitsu. To use it, you connect a tracking account from Aniyomi's settings and then let the app update your watch status as you progress through episodes. The feature is built for keeping your library and progress consistent across services rather than for discovering new titles.

What Aniyomi's tracking feature does

According to Aniyomi's own site, tracking lets you "automatically keep track of your series with MyAnimeList, AniList, Kitsu, and more." In practice this means:

• Your watch progress (which episodes you've seen) can be recorded against a series.
• That progress is pushed to the tracking service you've connected.
• Your status on that service (for example, watching, completed, or on-hold) stays aligned with what you actually watch in Aniyomi.

The site lists tracking as one of its three headline capabilities alongside customization and extensions, which tells you it's treated as a core part of the app rather than an add-on.

Supported services

The homepage names these services explicitly:

Because the site says "and more" without listing the rest, treat MyAnimeList, AniList, and Kitsu as the confirmed options. If you rely on a different tracker, verify it inside the app before assuming support.

How to set up tracking

The site provides a "Setup tracking" entry point, which indicates setup is a defined step rather than automatic on install. The general flow is:

1. Open Aniyomi and go to its settings area.
2. Find the tracking section (the site's "Setup tracking" link points here).
3. Choose the service you want — MyAnimeList, AniList, or Kitsu.
4. Authorize Aniyomi to access your account on that service. This typically means logging in through the service's own authorization page rather than typing your password directly into Aniyomi.
5. Confirm the connection, then start watching. Progress should begin syncing for series you open.

Expected result: once connected, series you watch in Aniyomi update your progress on the linked service without you manually editing episode counts.

Common sticking points:

• If authorization fails, the usual cause is being logged into a different account in your browser than the one you intend to link.
• If progress doesn't sync, check that the series in Aniyomi is matched to the correct entry on the tracking service — mismatched titles are a frequent source of silent failures.
• Connecting more than one service at once is possible in principle, but each needs its own authorization step.

What tracking does not cover

The site's description is limited to tracking and progress sync. It does not state that Aniyomi provides the anime content itself through tracking, nor does it describe pricing, account tiers, or regional availability for these services. Those details live with MyAnimeList, AniList, and Kitsu respectively, so check each service for its own account requirements.

Choosing between the three

All three are named as supported, so the decision usually comes down to where your existing library lives:

• MyAnimeList — pick this if your watch history and lists are already there and you want Aniyomi to keep them current.
• AniList — pick this if you prefer its interface or already track there.
• Kitsu — pick this if it's your primary tracker.

If you're starting fresh with no existing account, any of the three works with Aniyomi's tracking; the difference is the service's own features, not Aniyomi's support for it.
