What Cat-ime is

Cat-ime is a free, client-side anime hub for discovery, lists, and progress tracking. We use the AniList API for titles, artwork, and metadata.

We do not host, upload, store, or distribute video files. Playback in the app is provided through embedded third-party players (for example, Vidnest). Those services operate independently and are responsible for the streams they serve.

Copyright complaints about video streams

If you believe a specific episode or stream accessible through the embed player infringes your copyright, the fastest path is to contact the embed provider directly, since they control the hosted content.

Include the AniList ID, series title, episode number, and any URLs shown in the player when you write to them.

Contact the Cat-ime operator

For anything that concerns this website directly—not a single stream inside the embed player—email thecatime@gmail.com. We use that inbox for:

• Removing a source — asking us to disable or remove a streaming option (for example, Vidnest or AnimePahe) from Cat-ime.
• Shutting down the site — formal requests to take Cat-ime offline or stop operating the service.
• Other site issues — metadata shown in the app, account or sync data, or other non-video content on Cat-ime.

Describe what you want changed, why, and include any reference links or identifiers (series title, AniList ID, source name). We will review and respond as soon as we reasonably can.

Send notices regarding Cat-ime to thecatime@gmail.com. We will review valid notices and respond as appropriate.

Counter-notification

If you believe material was removed or disabled in error, you may send a counter-notice that includes:

• Your name, address, and contact details.
• Identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
• Your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in your district (or where you are located), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.
• Your electronic or physical signature.

Send counter-notices to thecatime@gmail.com.

Repeat infringers

Where applicable, we may limit access for users who are repeatedly determined to infringe copyrights after appropriate notice and review.
