How do I link AniList or MyAnimeList, and how is this different from MALSync?

Open Tracking sync and, if your account has access, choose Connect AniList or Connect MyAnimeList. Approve the correct provider identity in the popup and confirm its username back in FireAnime; this enables supported outbound progress, not a full-list import.

Tracking links: restricted rollout, outbound only

Covered in this guide: Website in a browser · MALSync — Browser

Is this the integration you want?

Use Tracking sync to send supported completed-episode progress from FireAnime to your own AniList or MyAnimeList account. It does not import your external watchlist or synchronize everything in both directions. Read exactly what is transferred before connecting.

You need a signed-in FireAnime account, your provider account and a browser that permits the authorization popup. Availability is controlled by the current rollout; having an AniList account alone does not grant FireAnime integration access.

Link a provider from the website

  1. Open Account → Settings → Tracking sync. The provider cards and actions currently use English labels in both website languages.
  2. Read the notice at the top. If access is restricted or the provider says Unavailable, the connect action cannot be used yet; this is not evidence that your password is wrong.
  3. Select Connect AniList or Connect MyAnimeList on the provider you want.
  4. In the new authorization window, check which provider account is signed in. Sign into the intended account there and approve the requested connection. Enter the provider's password only on its own sign-in page, not into a FireAnime form.
  5. Keep the original FireAnime tab open while the process finishes. Return to it and check Account connected, the Connected badge and the displayed provider username.

Repeat for the other provider only if you want it linked too. Connecting one does not automatically connect the other.

What is ready after linking?

The provider card shows your connected identity and the actions Queue catch-up and Disconnect. Supported new completed-episode progress can be delivered when delivery is enabled. To send older local progress, follow catch-up instructions.

A connection is private on your public FireAnime profile until you separately choose to show that identity.

If connection does not finish

  • Nothing opens / allow popups message: permit popups for FireAnime and select the connect button again.
  • Waiting for authorization: finish the provider window and leave the original tab open. Closing that tab can prevent completion.
  • Connection failed or expired: read the error and begin a fresh attempt. Do not reuse an old authorization link.
  • Wrong provider username connected: select Disconnect, read the confirmation, sign into the right identity at the provider, then reconnect. This does not undo progress already sent.
  • Identity already linked elsewhere: a provider identity can belong to only one FireAnime account at a time. Use the existing FireAnime account or contact support if you cannot access it.
  • MALSync: this is an independent browser extension with its own settings and behavior. Connecting here neither installs it nor makes its rules the same as FireAnime's tracking.
