Hi Product Hunt 👋

I watch a lot of donghua, and the sites that carry it have a habit of dying. Not "slow for a week" — actually gone, mid-season, halfway through a series. Every tool I tried was built around a single source, so when that source broke, the tool broke with it and I'd wait for someone to ship a fix.

kuro is my answer to that. It searches several sites at once, and if one is down it just uses another. If a site keeps failing it benches itself and quietly re-checks every half hour. When a site changes its layout, the fix is a config file you can edit yourself — no waiting on a release, no rebuilding anything.

The other thing that bugged me: terminal video tools tend to dump you into a bare player window. kuro hands the stream to IINA, a proper Mac video player. Real playback controls, real playlist, Picture in Picture, all the keyboard shortcuts you already know.

What it does day to day:

- Search once, across every source — results merged, duplicates collapsed

- Picks up where you stopped — to the second, even if you closed the terminal

- Marks what you've watched so you're never guessing which episode you're on

- Queues the next episodes into the player, so ⌘→ moves on without touching the terminal

- Skips openings and endings where the data exists

- Downloads several episodes at once, with progress bars

- Sub or dub, and a quality cap you set once

It's macOS-only, free, MIT-licensed, and installs with brew install surya758/tap/kuro.

kuro doesn't host or store anything — it finds public pages and hands a URL to your player. Which sources you turn on is up to you.
