A self-hosted tracker for media and fitness, for people who want books, shows, games and workouts recorded in one place.
Ryot, short for Roll Your Own Tracker, records what you consume and what you do. Books read, shows watched, games played and workouts finished all land in one self-hosted interface with statistics, instead of being scattered across half a dozen services that each own a slice.
The server is written in Rust and stores its data in PostgreSQL. A GraphQL API is exposed for custom integrations, and the web interface is a progressive web app, so it behaves like a native app once installed on a phone.
Tracking splits into two halves that share one account.
- Media: movies, TV, anime, manga, books, audiobooks, podcasts, music and video games are all first-class.
- Imports: existing histories come across from Goodreads, Trakt, MyAnimeList and Audiobookshelf among others.
- Automatic tracking: integrations with Jellyfin, Plex, Kodi and Emby log what you watch without manual entry.
- Fitness: workouts are logged against an exercise database, with body measurements and progress graphs over time.
- Notifications: updates arrive through Discord, Ntfy or Apprise.
Authentication supports OpenID Connect for anyone plugging it into an existing identity provider. Getting started means a Docker Compose file with a Postgres container, the Ryot image and an admin access token, after which the interface answers on port 8000. A live demo that resets daily is available if you want to look before installing. A paid Pro version adds profile sharing, recommendations and collection features atop the GPLv3 core.
A cross-platform collection manager for games, movies, shows, anime, manga, books, music and podcasts, aimed at people tracking media themselves.
Anyone who plays, watches and reads across several hobbies ends up with a list in every service and no single view of any of it. Tonkatsu Box is a free app that keeps games, movies, TV shows, anime, visual novels, manga, books, music and podcasts in one library.
Fifteen catalogs sit behind a single search field, among them IGDB, TMDB, TVmaze, AniList, MangaDex, OpenLibrary, MusicBrainz and Podcast Index, each with its own filters. The app is written in Flutter and ships for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android, with the whole interface localized and switchable without a restart.
Tracking goes well past a watched flag.
- Progress: status, ratings, start and finish dates, replays, time spent, pages for books and chapters for manga.
- Episode tracker: a season accordion with stills, air dates and synopses, marking one episode, a season or the next unwatched.
- Statistics: counters, per type breakdowns, a month by month ribbon and a shareable summary card.
- Visual boards: a drag and drop canvas plus tier lists and mood grids, each exportable as an image.
- Import: Simkl, Steam, Trakt, Kinorium, RetroAchievements, MyAnimeList, AniList and Hardcover, plus your own JSON or CSV.
- Profiles: several people share one install with separate collections, boards and covers.
Data stays on the device, with export files, device to device sync and one click backups. The project is under active development and an update can migrate the database, so the maintainers ask for a backup before upgrading. Linux and macOS builds are marked experimental.
