I got tired of toggling between my tracker and my media server.

So I built VibeWatch. Free movie and TV tracker (web + Android) with an optional Jellyfin or Plex hookup. You log into your own server, then on any title page you get a Play button that streams from your library inside the same view. No app switching.

Stack: Next.js 15, Supabase, Cloudflare Workers, TMDB. Solo project, no team, no investors, no paywall, no ads.

What's in it:

- Watchlist, watched, ratings (1-10), reviews

- Imports from Trakt, Letterboxd, and IMDb with original watched dates preserved

- Stats screen (watch time, top genres, decade breakdown)

- Release calendar for upcoming episodes you're tracking

- Optional Jellyfin/Plex streaming/iframe sources (HLS, HEVC where supported)

Honest ask: I'm specifically looking for feedback on the "track + play in one place" flow. Does that combo actually click for anyone else, or am I solving a problem only I have?

I know this sub gets a "I built a Trakt alternative" post every other day right now, so I'll lead with the one thing I haven't seen elsewhere: VibeWatch can pull streams from your own Jellyfin or Plex inside the title page. You hit play on a movie you're tracking, it plays from your server. No app switching, track progress too.

I left Trakt last year and tried the usual suspects. Yamtrack is great if you self-host. Cinopsys and Sofa Time are solid if you want mobile-first. I wanted a hosted web app that didn't suck and could also play the thing I was tracking.

What it does:

- Watchlist, watched, ratings (1-10), reviews

- Imports from Trakt, Letterboxd, and IMDb

- Stats: watch time, top genres, decade breakdown

- Release calendar showing when episodes you're tracking actually air

- Jellyfin/Plex hookup (optional) for streaming from your own server, or you can hook up an iframe source like vidfast even if you want.

Curious what's still missing from the trackers you've tried.

I built a free thing for this. Per-episode tracking, all manual, works across whatever services you use. Tap the episode after you watch it.

What's there:

- Per-episode log, rewatches kept separately

- Heat-map of your progress per season

- Where-to-watch indicators per show, so you remember which service has it

Built it because Trakt felt heavier than I wanted and TV Time has a feed I didn't need. This is just a tracker. No social, no ads.
