Manga doesn't keep a schedule. A chapter lands on a Thursday, the next one turns up eleven days later, and then the author takes a break nobody announced. So you check. And you forget to check. And three weeks later you find out from someone else's timeline that the arc you'd been waiting on already ended. AniCue got built because that kept happening. Tell it what you're reading and what you're watching, and it does the watching for you. When a new chapter goes up, your phone lets you know. When the next episode airs, you hear about it in your own timezone instead of doing arithmetic on someone else's. That's the whole idea. BRING YOUR LIST WITH YOU Already tracking on AniList or MyAnimeList? Import the whole thing in one tap. Your titles, your progress, all of it. Nothing to rebuild before you start. THE COUNTDOWN, WITHOUT OPENING ANYTHING Put your next drop on your Home Screen or your Lock Screen and watch it tick down. Small, medium, large, or one quiet line above your clock. Tap it and you're straight into the title. ANIME KEEPS A RHYTHM. MANGA DOESN'T. Simulcasts mostly behave, and AniCue lines your week up so you know what's landing tonight and what's still a few days out. Manga is the half that actually needs watching, and it's the reason this app exists. No fixed day, no warning, no announcement post. We keep looking so you don't have to, and you hear from us when a chapter is properly out, not when the rumours start. TODAY'S DROPS, THE MOMENT YOU OPEN UP Everything releasing today across everything you follow, sitting on the first screen. No hunting for it. A CALENDAR THAT'S ACTUALLY YOURS Your season laid out properly. What's airing, what's close, what's worth staying up for. Tick off episodes watched and chapters read as you go, so you always know where you left off. WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING NEW Anime and manga picked around what you already love. The genres you keep coming back to, what's big this season, what's coming next. And when a title really gets you, the figures and volumes for it are a tap away. YOUR LIST STAYS YOURS Follow four titles or four hundred. Quiet down the ones you've drifted away from and pick them back up whenever. Everyone does eventually. Nothing here shouts at you. You'll only hear from AniCue about titles you've actually followed, and you can turn any of it off whenever you want. S-RANK More room, fewer interruptions, one purchase: • No ads anywhere, ever again • Follow up to 500 titles instead of 10 • Get the nudge 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes early • Mute a title without unfollowing it • Sub or dub, set per title • Your schedule synced into Apple Calendar or Google Calendar • Alerts on every device you're signed into • Alternate app icons: crimson, gold leaf, sumi ink, screentone • Episodes watched, chapters read, titles finished, counted on your profile • The golden badge, obviously No subscription, no monthly anything, nothing to cancel. If you've ever been blindsided by a surprise chapter drop, you already know why this exists.
