Last Updated: February 28, 2026
Introduction
Welcome to NyanTV, a multiservice tracking client designed exclusively for managing and tracking anime, movies, and series through integration with the official APIs of AniList, MyAnimeList (MAL) and Simkl. These Terms of Service ("ToS") and Disclaimer govern your use of NyanTV. By using NyanTV, you agree to comply with these terms and conditions. If you disagree, please do not use the app.
NyanTV is developed and maintained by hoemotion ("the Developer"). This document outlines the scope of NyanTV's functionality, user responsibilities, and disclaimers regarding third-party services and content.
Scope of NyanTV
NyanTV is a client application designed solely for tracking anime, movies & TV shows by connecting to the official API of AniList, MyAnimeList & Simkl. It provides a user interface to access, view, and manage your tracking data hosted by these third-party services.
NyanTV does not:
- Host, provide, distribute, maintain, endorse, or facilitate access to any streaming content, media, or third-party extensions, including but not limited to content from licensed providers such as Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netflix, Hulu, HIDIVE, or any other streaming platforms.
- Store, collect, or process personal information beyond what is required for authentication with supported third-party service (AniList, MyAnimeList & Simkl).
- Facilitate, manage, or promote access to any content, repositories, modules, or extensions outside the official API of AniList, MyAnimeList and Simkl.
NyanTV is strictly a tracking tool and does not provide or enable access to any copyrighted material or streaming services. Any interaction with licensed content must be conducted through legitimate platforms like Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netflix, Hulu, HIDIVE, or other authorized providers, in compliance with their terms of service.

- Use the app solely for its intended purpose of tracking anime via official integration with AniList, MyAnimeList and Simkl.

- Be solely responsible for your use of the app, including any interactions with third-party services, repositories, modules, or content accessed outside of NyanTV.
- Ensure your use of NyanTV and any third-party services complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws, including copyright, intellectual property, and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) regulations.

- Any legal concerns, including DMCA claims, related to content accessed through third-party services, repositories, or modules must be directed to those services or their respective creators, not NyanTV or the Developer.
DMCA Compliance
NyanTV is designed to be fully compliant with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws. As a tracking tool, NyanTV does not host, distribute, or provide access to any copyrighted content. Any content accessed by users must be obtained through legitimate, licensed platforms such as Crunchyroll, Funimation, Netflix, Hulu, HIDIVE, or other authorized providers. If you believe that any content accessed through third-party services, repositories, or modules violates your copyright, please direct DMCA notices or legal inquiries to the respective service providers or content hosts, not NyanTV or the Developer.
