Shukofukurou 2.4 for iOS and iPadOS is now released, with a new icon and iOS/iPadOS 26 compatibility.

iPad support is now enhanced with improved interface with some menu support. We know there is a bug where the views don't resize properly when the window is less than full screen. We submitted a fix to fix that, which should come out soon.

A new version for the Mac version will come out soon to be built on the macOS 26 SDK so it can take advantage of the new Liquid Glass design.

We have submitted a new update for Shukofukurou for iOS and Mac, which will finally fix the rate limit issue, which have been implemented on AniList last year.

This should fix issues for users who have large lists. Note that it will take a while to load them.

Work on Shukofukurou for iOS/iPadOS 2.4 is underway. This will include improvements on the iPad version, as it will be using an improved UI that will work better in the upcoming version of iPadOS 26. We will implement menu commands in its dedicated menu.

Also, AniBlogTracker.app support will be added. Now you are able to view blog posts that are on a certain title. Additional improvements and a redesigned icon are in the works, time permitting.

It’s been over 3 years since the last update, but Shukofukurou for iOS 2.3 is now out. The Mac version will get updated eventually, but in the near future

Release notes:
Various fixes, iOS/iPadOS 17 support,

# New Features

Hachidori 3.3.18 is now released.

https://github.com/Atelier-Shiori/hachidori/releases/tag/3.3.18

(Note, there is no solution to fix Hidive stream detection yet, the video player does not report the title of the show)

Apparently Kitsu (the Anime/Manga list management site) has changed their domain for Kitsu.io to Kitsu.app. We are in the process of updating Hachidori and Shukofukurou (which will be releasing 2.3 with VisionOS support, after two years of no updates).

Hopefully we will get them out by the end of September.

We know it's been a while since we have worked on our apps, but I do plan to get some updates out soon.

This includes adding a clear mappings button under preferences for Hachidori if there are any corrections for any title mappings, the user can simply clear the mappings cache. 3.1.18 will release this week. I still need to figure out a way to fix Hidive detection if its even possible.

Also, Shukofukurou for iOS 2.4 will release sometime in August with Vision Pro support.

Update on Shukofukurou for iOS 2.3 - We will hopefully release the next release of Shukofukurou for iOS, 2.3 sometime this month.

The main highlights for this release are:
- Add support for the latest iOS
- Add VisionOS Support
- Redesigned List Statistics view
- Prompt for account deletion, which takes the user to the page to start the process when an account is removed (to comply with guidelines).

Note: Shukofukurou for iOS will require iOS/IPadOS 17 or later.

Shukofukurou 2.3 coming soon with native VisionOS support. Manage your AniList/MyAnimeList/Kitsu on the Vision Pro, along with some various fixes and improvements, since it’s been two years since we last released an update.

An Update and Why the Lack of Updates?
You might be wondering, where are the development for Hachidori, MAL Updater OS X and Kanimanabu? Why is development slow these days. Since I don’t have as much free time as I used to. Now that I left Twitter, now known as X and managed two servers on the Fediverse (Mastodon and Misskey), it took up a good chunk of my time along will preparing for the JLPT. Re

#Updates

Added ListenBrainz support to OnagakuKiroku, which is a Mac program that allows you to track what you listened, with maloja before.

Now, we added ListenBrainz support to the 1.0-alpha 3 release (yes, it's been over 3 years since the last release) and it's possible to use both at the same time, it has to be enabled individually.

The 1.0-alpha3 release is available on Github.

It's been a while, but there were some issues with the offline queue functionality with Hachidori.

We just implemented some fixes so scrobbling Anime to AniList/MAL/Kitsu when the user goes back online doesn't end up in an endless loop, especially when an update requires confirmation before they are applied to the user's list.

While there hasn’t been much development work lately since I am busy with life, I’m slowly getting back to updating Shukofukurou for iOS. There hasn’t been much development because I don’t have anything in mind to implement yet, until now.

We plan to ditch iOS/iPadOS 15 support, and we possibly need to rewrite the HTTP backend to use Alamofire as AFNetworking, which I found out is deprecated. Also, it doesn’t compile for VisionOS natively.

We also tested Shukofukurou for iOS on Vision Pro Simulator, and it works. However, I want to add native support down the time, when I eventually get one next year. How cool it will be to manage your Anime and Manga list from your Apple Vision Pro.

More coming soon.

Hachidori 3.3.16 is now released

Adds legal stream detection support for Orion web browser, finally.

Stream Detection for Hachidori now supports Orion Browser after a bug with Apple Script with Javascript doesn't work, which is needed for things like detecting Crunchyroll and other legal streaming sites.

This feature will be available with Hachidori 3.3.16, coming soon. We will be working on possibly adding Jellyfin support and working to improve accessibility with voiceover on Shukofukurou for iOS in the next release, in a long time coming.

We are releasing Hachidori 3.3.15 today and it should be available in software updates now. Release notes aren't uploaded yet, but can be seen here:

We tried implementing Orion support into our legal stream detection and we hit a snag. The dojavascript Applescript command does not bring any output. It appears to be a bug as it is working, but it won't appear in the next release.

The current Beta release will be the stable release coming out tomorrow. My next goal is to add Mastodon sharing support when I have free time. Also, I need to check if WaniKani adding Kana Vocabulary broke the WaniKani support in KaniManabu. The app needs some love, especially an iOS version as well. Haven't been able to work on it since I'm busy with my blog and other things.
