## What it is
Akuse is a free, open-source desktop application for streaming anime without ads, built with TypeScript and integrated with AniList. It aggregates multiple streaming sources for subbed and dubbed content, though most sources are currently broken pending a planned modular rebuild.

## Use cases
- watch anime on my desktop without ads
- stream anime episodes with a native app
- track and watch anime with anilist integration
- anime streaming app with sub and dub support
- ad-free anime player for windows and mac

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, ad-free anime desktop client
- you use AniList for tracking and want integrated browsing
- you prefer a native desktop app over browser streaming sites

## When to avoid
- you need reliable streaming today - the README states the app is broken and most sources don't work
- you need guaranteed legal content sources
- you want a mobile or web-based player
