EnglishWhat is malupdaterosx.moe?
Updated
malupdaterosx.moe is the homepage of an independent software developer that has been building anime and manga list-management apps for Apple platforms since 2009. The site is aimed at people who track their anime and manga libraries on Kitsu, AniList, or MyAnimeList and want dedicated macOS and iOS/iPadOS tools rather than a browser tab. All of the programs are open source, and the project says it relies on donations to keep development going.
What the site offers
The homepage presents a small family of apps rather than a single product:
| App | Platform | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Shukofukurou for macOS | macOS | Manage Kitsu and AniList lists, discover new titles |
| Shukofukurou for iOS | iOS and iPadOS | Manage Kitsu, AniList, and MyAnimeList lists, discover new titles |
| Hachidori | Not specified on the homepage | Automatically update your Kitsu, AniList, and MyAnimeList library based on what anime you are watching |
| KaniManabu | Apple ecosystem | An alternative to Anki for studying Japanese vocabulary and kanji |
The site describes itself as simplifying anime and manga list management "on iPhone, iPad, and Mac," so the intended audience is clearly Apple users. If you track your library on a Windows PC or in a browser, these apps are not presented as an option here.
Open source, but not necessarily free
The homepage is explicit on this point: "All our programs are open source, meaning you have the freedom to redistribute, study/improve the code, or distribute modified copies. However, it's not free as in beer. We rely on donations to allow us to continue developing these programs."
That distinction matters if you are deciding whether to try the software. Open source here refers to the license and your freedom to inspect and modify the code, not to a zero-cost guarantee. The site does not list prices or payment details on the homepage, so check the individual app pages or the support/donation links before assuming any cost structure.
Who runs it and where to get help
The homepage does not name an individual developer or company. What it does provide is a support path: a Support Forums page for reporting bugs, suggesting features, and asking questions, plus links to GitHub and Mastodon for updates. If you run into a problem or want to follow releases, those are the channels the site points to.
When this site is relevant to you
- You use a Mac, iPhone, or iPad and want a native app to manage Kitsu, AniList, or MyAnimeList lists.
- You want automatic progress updates while watching anime, which is what Hachidori is described as doing.
- You study Japanese and want an Anki alternative built for the Apple ecosystem (KaniManabu).
- You care about open-source code and want the option to study or modify the software.
If you only need a quick web-based list update, or you are on Android or Windows, the homepage does not describe a product for you. For everything else, the natural next step is to open the page for the specific app that matches your platform and list service, then check the support forums if you need help getting started.
