I finally ditched Letterboxd for this self-hosted movie tracker and I am never looking back
The author, after years of using Letterboxd and Trakt for media tracking, transitioned to Yamtrack, a self-hosted alternative that consolidates tracking for movies, TV shows, anime, games, books, and more. Unlike platform-specific tools, Yamtrack supports detailed tracking including episode-by-episode progress and rewatches across multiple media types. Deployed via Docker on a NAS, it integrates seamlessly into a self-hosted tech stack and offers a unified system for all media consumption habits.
