A self-hosted media tracker for movies, TV shows, anime, manga, video games, books, comics, and board games.
Yamtrack is a self-hosted media tracking application that consolidates tracking for movies, TV shows, anime, manga, video games, books, comics, and board games in one platform. It solves the problem of fragmented media tracking across multiple proprietary services by offering a private, customizable alternative where users retain full control over their data.
Media enthusiasts, collectors, and self-hosting advocates who want a unified, private system to track their consumption across various entertainment formats without relying on commercial platforms.
Developers choose Yamtrack for its comprehensive feature set, self-hosted nature, and extensive integrations with media servers and existing tracking services, offering data ownership and customization unmatched by proprietary alternatives.

Automatically syncs with Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby, and imports data from Trakt, Simkl, MyAnimeList, AniList, and Kitsu, offering extensive interoperability.
Self-hosted nature ensures full user control over data, with CSV export/import and support for OIDC and social authentication via django-allauth.
Easy Docker deployment with SQLite or PostgreSQL, and configurable environment variables for custom setups, as shown in the installation instructions.
Requires obtaining and configuring API keys from multiple services like TMDB, MAL, and IGDB, which adds significant setup time and technical hurdles.
