Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I’m looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.
So far, I’ve found:
- devfake/flox - the original, hasn’t been updated in 5 years
- Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
- MediaTracker - “highly inspired by flox” and also tracks books and computer games
These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you’re watching.
Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker’s README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?
EDIT: Suggestions from this thread:
I use Tautulli, but I’m not sure if that is going to cover all the same use cases.
If I remember right, the Kodi addon for Mediatracker doesn’t work, which would be a dealbreaker for me as we watch everything via Kodi debrid addons.

I use this one for my Emby server and it keeps track of what we watch, and so far so good. I made it our Trakt.tv replacement and have no complaints so far.
After trying Watchstate and Ryot it depends on what you want. Do you just want an easy easy to backup/sync playstate between platforms? Watchstate. Do you need more? Not Watchstate.
The seriesguide app for Android is just about perfect. You can’t self host but still
