✨ Features
A Pixiv client that can actually keep up
From browsing and discovery to downloads and bookmarks, from FANBOX to pixiv COMIC — everything you'd want to do on Pixiv, done properly.
🎯 A feed made for you
Personalised illustration, manga and novel recommendations, trending tags refreshed in real time — every pull-to-refresh is a new surprise.
🏆 Rankings & chart hub
Daily / weekly / monthly rankings with a date picker to revisit any day; the Discover tab adds bookmark charts, AI charts, charts by era, wallpaper charts, tag zones and artist charts.
🔍 Powerful search & filters
Six sort orders, upload period, bookmark-count range, aspect ratio and resolution, a three-way AI switch — and sorting by popularity without Pixiv Premium.
🖼️ Reverse image search
SauceNAO / TinEye / IQDB / Ascii2D, one tap to find the source.
🎁 FANBOX & pixiv COMIC
Native FANBOX: post feed, recommended creators, full post bodies and plans — no more hand-off to the browser; the pixiv COMIC home lives in the app too. One account, everything connected.
📖 Novel reader · local library
Series, chapters, bookmarks and a progress percentage, with related illustrations mixed in automatically; point it at a folder to read local txt files, and bookmarking saves the whole novel as TXT.
👥 Fast multi-account switching
Follows, DMs, bookmarks — hop freely between accounts.
⬇️ Batch download · resumable
Queue a whole set at once and pick up from where a flaky network dropped it; batch-rename with naming templates, export captions alongside, or hand the jobs to aria2 on your NAS.
🙈 Mute settings
Manage by tag and by artist separately, or mute a single work in place — cards get blurred and one tap reveals them.
🔖 Watch later
Long-press a card to stash it. Purely local, never reported — collect a batch and browse at leisure.
📡 Network self-check · painless direct connection
Built-in network test page: DNS, App API, web endpoints and a real image download are checked one by one, and IPv6 pollution gets called out on the spot. Slow? Switch images to pixiv.cat / pixiv.re / pixiv.nl or your own reverse proxy, or use your own App API proxy.
⚡ Instant cold start · local first
Home recommendations, rankings and latest works open instantly from the last snapshot while the network refreshes quietly in the background; bookmarks and follows go into a persistent queue so a tap while offline is never lost.
📱 Interface
Every screen, polished
Real-device captures — what you see here is exactly what you get when you open the app.
