Best Media Tracker Apps in 2026: Movies, TV, Books, Games

Sequel calls itself a media wishlist, and that is its strength: save the show a friend raved about, a new book from an author you like or an upcoming game, and let it remind you when it comes out. You can mark items as Playing or Reading, check off episodes, and follow your series in a Watch Next queue. It covers movies, series, books, audiobooks and games, and its free tier includes unlimited items, ratings, up to five collections and iCloud sync.⁵

Sequel+ adds Trakt sync for movies and series, where to watch, release reminders for wishlist items, a Magic Lookup that uses AI to save media from the web, unlimited collections, Markdown notes and how long games take to beat. Its App Store listing shows Sequel+ subscriptions from $2.99 and a lifetime purchase at $99.99. Recent updates improved imports from TV Time’s data export, Simkl, IMDb, Goodreads and StoryGraph, and version 2.9.5 arrived on October 27, 2026.⁵

Its listing doesn’t describe statistics, page-by-page reading progress or play sessions, which is the gap between a wishlist and a tracker. It is rated 4.8 from about 1,300 ratings on the US App Store. We compare the two apps feature by feature in Omniphile vs Sequel.

Sofa describes itself as a downtime organizer, and it covers more ground than any other app here: lists and groups for movies, TV, books, games, music, podcasts, apps and categories you define, plus a podcast player and a planner for trips, tasks and your TV schedule. Shows can be tracked episode by episode, progress rings sit on covers, sessions can be timed or logged, and a Logbook keeps everything you finish, with a Stats dashboard of activity, genres and year-over-year comparisons.⁶

The catch is the split between free and paid. Unlimited lists, the podcast player, the planner, the Logbook and iCloud sync are free, but progress tracking itself, for TV episodes, book checkpoints and game progress, is part of Super Sofa, along with smart lists, reminders and Logbook stats. Super Sofa costs $5.99 a month, $49.99 a year or $249.99 once. Recent updates improved its imports from TV Time’s official data export, Letterboxd and Trakt.⁶

It is an Apple Editors’ Choice, rated 4.7 from about 3,100 ratings on the US App Store, with version 5.4.4 out on October 28, 2026. For a closer look at how it differs from a dedicated tracker, see Omniphile vs Sofa.

Logged is the simplest app here, and the only one on this list with apps for both Android and iPhone. It tracks movies, TV, books, albums and games in one library, rated on one 1-to-5-star scale, so a four-star album sits next to a four-star film. Every item is in one of four states: Wishlist, In Progress, Logged or DNF. TV is tracked by season rather than episode. You can write reviews, follow friends and browse a Discover feed of what the community is watching, reading and playing.⁷

Everything is free, with ads. On iPhone, a $2.99-a-month Logged Supporter subscription removes them; on Android, its listing says an optional Ko-fi tip does.⁸ It is new: version 1.14.0 arrived on October 30, 2026, it has 13 ratings on the US App Store, and its Android app has passed 500 downloads. Its listings mention no imports or statistics, so expect to add your history by hand.

Ryot, short for “Roll Your Own Tracker”, is for people who run their own server. It installs with Docker and runs as a web app you can add to a phone’s home screen. It tracks movies, shows, anime, manga, books, audiobooks, podcasts, music and video games, plus workouts and body measurements, and it can log what you watch automatically from Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi or Emby.⁹ It imports from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Trakt, IMDb, MyAnimeList, Audiobookshelf and other services.¹⁰

The free version includes marking media as seen, with repeat views, activity and statistics graphs, release notifications and reviews. A paid Pro version adds watchlists, favorites and custom collections, recommendations and sharing; its features page doesn’t list a price.¹¹ To track movies and shows, you need your own API key from TMDB or TVDB, and games need one from IGDB.¹⁰ Version 10.5.0 came out on August 22, 2026, and the project has about 3,650 stars on GitHub.
