Movie
Signal Harbor
Status: Watched. Rating: 8.5/10. Review choice: Public.
The public review focuses on pacing, character payoff, and whether the ending feels earned. The writer leaves personal details and plot spoilers out of this shared review.
Sample Media Library
A fictional example of keeping favorites, unfinished stories, and private checkpoints in one library.

Why look at a sample library
Everything on this page is made up. It isn't copied from a user account or pulled from anyone's private data. It shows how someone might organize movies, TV shows, anime, games, albums, and books. Use it to decide which details would help you remember your own media, then try the controls in the interactive demo.
The library below doesn't try to catalog everything perfectly. It's set up to answer everyday questions: what am I watching now, what did I finish, what do I want to go back to, which notes are private, and which reviews am I happy to share? A plain list of titles can't answer most of those.
Example records
TV Show
Northline Dispatch
Watched: Unchecked. Last watched: Season 2, episode 4. Review choice: Private.
Update progress records the last episode finished. The separate Private reminder says “Start episode 5 next time; watch with Sam.” Neither changes the rating or the show's total episode count.
Anime
Glass Circuit
Watched: Unchecked. Last watched: Episode 3, with no season specified. Review choice: Not reviewed yet.
The viewer uses continuous episode numbering, so the season stays blank. A short checkpoint reminder makes this easy to resume without writing a review before forming an opinion.
Game
Lantern Vale
Played: Unchecked. Rating: Not rated yet. Review choice: Private notes now, public review later.
The note tracks combat feel, accessibility settings, and whether the side quests still feel fresh after ten hours. Completion status can be updated when the credits roll.
Music
Late Map Atlas
Status: Listened. Format: Album. Review choice: Public short review.
The review mentions favorite tracks, the mood it fits, and whether the album works best as a full listen or as individual songs in a playlist.
Book
The Orchard Index
Read: Unchecked. Last read: Chapter 9. Review choice: Private.
The reader chose chapters because they move between editions with different page numbers. The checkpoint reminder says “Start the orchard letters next.” A page checkpoint would work too; the book keeps one position at a time.
A weekly cleanup
Once a week, this reader checks unfinished items and decides what still sounds appealing. They update a show's last watched episode, change a book's checkpoint to the last chapter read, and mark a finished album Listened. “Paused,” “planned,” and “playing” describe their intentions; they are not extra completion states in the app. A short private review or checkpoint reminder can hold that context.
Use Clear progress when you start a show or book over: it removes only the checkpoint and its reminder. The title, completion choice, rating, and review stay in place. Before a larger cleanup, the reader exports a JSON backup, which includes private checkpoints and reminders, and stores it somewhere private.
The cleanup is also a chance to reread reviews. Short private notes are fine as reminders, but a public review needs enough context for someone else to use it. Instead of posting "good" or "boring," the reader adds what worked, who might enjoy it, and whether the rating is about craft, their mood at the time, or rewatch value. Visitors get better reviews in the public feed, and the reader's private notes stay as rough as they like.
Privacy choices in the sample
In this sample, the movie and album reviews are published because they're finished and free of spoilers. The TV, game, and book reviews are not published to public review pages; keeping their categories private also prevents friends from reading those notes. Episode, page, and chapter checkpoints and their reminders always stay private; publishing a review does not publish a checkpoint.
Friend visibility can be adjusted by category separately from public review choices. Letting friends see TV shows does not reveal episode checkpoints or their reminders. Copying a public collection or saving a reviewed title also does not copy the author's personal progress.
What statistics would show
With these six records, completion statistics count one watched movie and one listened album: two finished titles and four unfinished. A checkpoint at episode 4 or chapter 9 does not increase the completion count. Ratings show reactions, while review coverage shows which titles have a written note or review. A checkpoint reminder stays separate from review coverage.
This is why OmniTrackr keeps media types together. A spreadsheet can count entries too, but an app built for this makes the routine quicker: add the item, update the status, write a note, decide whether it is public, and let the dashboard summarize the pattern over time.
What to try next
If this example matches the kind of library you want to build, start with the demo, then read the tracking templates for rating scales and cleanup prompts. The review guidelines explain how to turn quick notes into public reviews, and the tracking hub links to category-specific guides for movies, TV, anime, games, music, books, statistics, and export.
