## What it is
Anemone3DS is a theme and boot splash screen manager for the Nintendo 3DS console, written in C as a homebrew application. It lets users install and manage custom 3DS home menu themes and splashscreens, including support for badges and QR code downloads.

- manage 3ds home menu themes
- change 3ds boot splash screen
- download 3ds themes via qr code

## When to choose
- you run homebrew (CFW) on a Nintendo 3DS and want to customize themes and splash screens
