Media Journal

Every movie, series, anime, manga, book, game and album you finish deserves a line in one diary, not seven accounts on seven tracking sites. Media Journal keeps separate lists for each of the seven media types, and every entry carries your status, episode or page progress, rating and private notes. Rate on the scale that fits how you think: five stars, 1 to 10, 1 to 100, or simple faces. Group anything into collections, mark favorites, and watch your home page fill with stats, recent activity and your latest collections. The Discover page surfaces trending and popular titles, and built-in search pulls metadata and artwork from TMDB, IGDB and other providers once you add your free API keys. A community page lets everyone on your instance post thoughts and updates about what they watched, read or played, and a calendar plus history views keep your year in media organized. Saved songs play through the built-in YouTube music player while you browse, and automatic checks flag sequels and new seasons of things you already track. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
