u/PowerScaleApp
I have been working on PowerScale. An anime and manga tracker that tries to go beyond a checklist and stay closer to the soul of each series: the stuff you’re into, how it lands with you, and how that fits into everything else on your shelf.
Of course like any tracking app it has:
There’s a Library / Home hub for everything you’re actively watching or reading, what you’ve finished, what you’re holding, what you plan to pick up, and your favorites. So your whole journey lives in one place. Explore keeps you in the loop with what’s airing and helps you find your next watch or read without bouncing around half a dozen sites.
Here's what I believe sets this app apart from the vast majority of tracking apps I have seen:
There's Hall of Fame highlights what the community is loving right now and all time, so you can see what’s resonating beyond your own bubble.
The Discussions tab is for community driven topics and good faith debates, the kind of back and forth that’s hard to replicate in DMs alone.
Polls feed into a living log of rankings for series, characters, and manga this way popular tastes and debates show up as actual ordered results, not just hot takes.
There’s also direct messaging. You can chat with people, share posts, and pass along recs when you want someone to watch what you’re obsessed with.
Under Rankings, you get personal, head to head and tournament style matchups for anime, manga, characters, and even theme songs, it takes what’s already in your library and turns it into clear top lists (your real “top 10” energy, not ten tied scores).
Finally, Profile gives you an at a glance snapshot of your anime habits and stats, plus friends so you can see what people are watching now and what they can’t stop recommending.
Nothing is ever complete, but the goal is a singular app that tracks, discovers, argues, ranks, and connects people, without feeling like five different products stitched together.
So yeah, does anything here sound genuinely different from how you use trackers? And what do you wish more anime/manga trackers actually had?
Here's a link to the app, for right now it is iOS and a work in progress website only but down the road I will work to get an android version out there.
