Anilife works without an Anilife account. A local library and watch progress stay on the device, or you can connect AniList or MyAnimeList as the active list service.

Connect a list service

1

Open account settings

Open Settings, then choose Accounts & sync.
2

Choose a service

Select AniList or MyAnimeList and complete its sign-in flow. Signing in to the other service switches the active list service.
3

Choose what synchronises

Enable Sync episode progress to update watched episodes during playback. Enable Sync watchlist with Planning to import Planning and add new saves without replacing progress.
MyAnimeList users can also choose which tags appear as lists. The available row appears after MyAnimeList is connected. On a phone, Settings → Accounts & sync → Link a TV starts the pairing flow. Follow the code and confirmation shown by the phone and TV. Pair only devices you control and cancel if the code does not match.

Import and export

The Data settings include Import MyAnimeList XML and Export MyAnimeList XML. An import adds matched titles without silently replacing existing progress. Keep the original export until you have reviewed the result.
Discord is separate from list sync. Connecting it enables rich presence only. Anilife does not request access to your messages or servers for this feature.
