Answers about media tracking, private progress, public reviews, exports, and ads.
OmniTrackr keeps movies, shows, anime, games, albums, and books in one library, and your notes and reviews stay private unless you publish them. These answers cover how that works.
How categories, statuses, ratings, posters, and statistics work together.
What stays private, what can be shared, and how public reviews are handled.
How exports, imports, and templates help keep a library under your control.
OmniTrackr is a personal media tracker for movies, TV shows, anime, video games, music, and books. It gives each category a focused place for status, ratings, reviews, posters or cover art, and statistics.
The difference is that everything sits in one place. A movie app is good for films and a spreadsheet is flexible, but OmniTrackr keeps your films, shows, games, music, and books in one account.
Yes. Start with the demo library, the media tracking hub, the tracking templates, and the comparison page. Those pages explain the workflow without requiring an account.
Creating an account is only needed when you want to save a private library, sync across devices, use friend features, or export your own data.
OmniTrackr supports movies, TV shows, anime, video games, music, and books. Each category has fields that fit that media type, so a TV show can focus on progress while a game can focus on backlog and played status.
The category guides explain the details: movies, TV shows, anime, games, music, and books.
Yes. Choose Update progress on a saved TV show, anime, or book. Record the last watched episode, with an optional season, or choose the last read page or chapter. Season 0 is available for specials. The optional Private reminder gives you a short cue for next time.
Saving or clearing progress does not change completion, ratings, reviews, or title metadata. Checkpoints and their reminders stay private even when you share a category with friends or publish a review. They are included in JSON backups, so protect your exported files. Try a checkpoint in the demo; sample changes reset on reload.
No. Reviews are private unless you choose to make eligible reviews public. Public reviews are meant to help other visitors decide what to watch, play, read, or hear next. The review guidelines explain what makes a review useful.
So you can keep rough notes for yourself and still publish a finished review when you want to.
You can add friends and control which parts of your library are visible. Category visibility and public reviews are set separately, so sharing your movies doesn't share your books or your private notes.
Keep sensitive or unfinished notes private. If you want other people to read a review, make that one review public.
Collections stay private until you deliberately publish them. Publishing requires at least 300 characters of original context and three available titles. Collections that also pass the automatic title, writing-depth, varied-language, and public-safety checks enter the existing collection gallery and sitemap without waiting for a human queue.
A share-ready collection that misses the stricter discovery checks can remain available by direct link with a noindex directive. Three independent fixed-reason reports temporarily unlist only the current version; editing reruns the checks and can restore a qualifying revision. Reports never delete your saved collection.
Yes. OmniTrackr supports JSON export and restore workflows, plus preview-first migration from Letterboxd (the whole ZIP), IMDb, Goodreads, The StoryGraph, MyAnimeList and Kitsu XML, Trakt, AniList, and generic spreadsheets. The switching guide shows where each service keeps its export. Migration matches are skipped instead of replacing richer records already in your library.
The export and import guide explains supported columns, optional field mapping, duplicate handling, templates, and safer backup habits.
Pick one scale and use it consistently. A rating is most useful when the same score means roughly the same thing across categories. If a 7 means "good but not a favorite" for movies, try to keep that meaning for games, books, and albums too.
The tracking templates page has a sample rating scale and a few review prompts.
Start small: a few favorites, something you're partway through, and a couple of things you might try next. That's enough to try statuses, ratings, and review notes before you import a whole history.
After that, expand by category. Add movies when you finish them, update shows when progress changes, mark games when they move out of the backlog, and write reviews for items that deserve more context than a score.
A spreadsheet works, but you have to build the columns yourself, it's awkward on a phone, and backups are up to you. OmniTrackr has a form for each media type, cover art, sync across devices, reviews, privacy controls, and statistics, with no formulas to maintain.
The comparison page explains where OmniTrackr helps and where a spreadsheet may still be enough.
Ad eligibility is limited to the media tracking hub, export and import guide, review guidelines, sample library, and qualifying standalone public review pages. Eligibility does not mean ads are currently running.
The interactive demo, review directory, comparisons, tracking templates, sign-in and recovery pages, and private tracking controls are ad-free. That includes progress updates, collection editing, import/export controls, friends, and account settings. The Advertising Policy explains this in more detail.
No. It works for casual watchlists, long backlogs, comfort media, seasonal anime, album logs, reading lists, and people who simply want to remember what they finished.
Add as much or as little detail as you like. Statistics get more interesting once you have a few dozen entries.
