an open source TV Shows & Movies tracker app that works with Trakt.
The reason could be that Trakt integrates with media server apps like Jellyfin or Plex, or apps like Kodi, and that you can thereby bring your watch history with you across apps and you don’t lose it if your server crashes, library is corrupted or something… I have never used it, but I’d imagine that’d be a reason to use it. If I knew of a libre alternative, I’d actually consider using it for Jellyfin.
I don’t understand why people use trakt. I’d recommend Showcase which uses the TMDb API.

That was awesome! Thanks
Why is tmdb better than trakt for you? I don’t know much about either service.
I was curious to learn more so I looked at their website- their database is community built and crowdsourced rather than being run by a company
