Trakt

Trakt is a web-based service and API for tracking television shows and movies. It allows users to log watched episodes and films, track progress across seasons, maintain watchlists and personal collections, rate titles, and share activity with others.

The service emphasizes synchronization across devices and media centers. Users can connect trakt to compatible media centers and streaming tools, enabling automatic updates of viewing progress (scrobbling). It supports manual and automatic updates, and can synchronize with popular media center applications such as Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin, and others through add-ons or plugins.

Trakt provides an API that developers can use to access data about shows, movies, lists, and user activity, enabling third-party apps and websites to build features on top of trakt data. The platform also offers features like recommendations, calendar integration, and social-style activity feeds.

Data and privacy: Users create accounts, and data is stored on trakt’s servers. Users can manage privacy settings, export their data, and delete their account.

History and scope: Trakt originated as a community-driven project to centralize tracking of watched content and has since grown to support a broad ecosystem of integrations across media players and streaming services. The site hosts public catalogs of shows and movies, and user-generated lists.
