Best Media Tracker Apps for Android in 2026
The best Android apps for tracking shows, films, books, anime, and music in 2026, which ones have real Android apps, and how to keep everything in one library.
If you track what you watch, read, and listen to on an Android phone, the short answer is this: Trakt for TV and film, Letterboxd for a film diary, The StoryGraph for books, MyAnimeList for anime, and Last.fm for music. Each one has a real Android app and does its job well.
The catch is that this is five apps, five accounts, and five separate histories. If that sounds like too many, Achriom puts shows, films, books, albums, and anime in one library, with an AI librarian that can read across all of it. It runs in your Android browser and inside the ChatGPT app.
Below is what each one does well on Android, where each falls short, and how to pick.
What to look for in an Android media tracker
A lot of trackers were built for iPhone first and ported later. A few things separate a good Android experience from a frustrating one.
A real Android app or a solid mobile web app. Some services have no official Android client and rely on third-party apps that can break when the API changes. Check before you commit years of history.
Fast logging. On a phone, the whole point is marking something watched in two taps. Search speed and a good “mark as watched” flow matter more than any feature list.
Import and export. You should be able to bring your history in from wherever it lives now, and take it back out as a file. An app that holds your data hostage is a risk on any platform.
Coverage of the formats you care about. Most trackers handle one medium. If you read as much as you watch, you either run several apps or find one that holds both.
Sync with what you already use. Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, and streaming services can feed some trackers automatically, which saves you from logging every episode by hand.
Trakt
Trakt is the most complete TV and film tracker on Android. The official app handles check-ins, watch history, lists, and a calendar of upcoming episodes. Its biggest strength sits outside the app: connect Trakt to Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, or Infuse and it logs what you watch automatically.
Where it falls short: it covers TV and film only, and several features, including advanced filters and some list options, sit behind the paid VIP plan. If you want a head-to-head, see Trakt vs TV Time and the best Trakt alternatives.
Letterboxd
Letterboxd is the film diary most people already know, and its Android app is polished. Logging a film, rating it, and writing a short review takes seconds. The social feed is the real draw: following friends and critics is how most users find what to watch next.
Where it falls short: films only. No TV seasons, no books, no music. Pro and Patron unlock stats and ad-free browsing. If privacy matters more to you than the feed, read an app like Letterboxd, but private.
Serializd
Serializd does for TV what Letterboxd does for film. You rate and review shows by season and by episode, and the Android app keeps that flow simple. It is the easiest place on Android to keep a real TV diary with opinions attached.
Where it falls short: TV only, a smaller community than Letterboxd, and fewer automation options than Trakt. We compared it directly in Serializd vs Trakt.
Simkl
Simkl is the broadest of the screen trackers on Android. TV, film, and anime live in one app, and it imports from Trakt, TV Time, MyAnimeList, and others. It also scrobbles from Plex, Jellyfin, and several browser extensions.
Where it falls short: the interface is busy, and it stops at the screen. Books and music are not part of it. Paid VIP removes limits on some syncing features. See importing Trakt into Simkl if you are considering a move.
The StoryGraph
The StoryGraph is the best reading tracker on Android right now. It tracks pages and progress, logs moods and pace for every book, and turns all of it into charts that show what kind of reader you are. It imports a Goodreads library in a few minutes.
Where it falls short: books only, and some stats and features sit behind the paid Plus tier. If you are coming from Goodreads, this guide walks through the move.
MyAnimeList
MyAnimeList has the largest anime and manga database and an official Android app. Status tracking, episode counts, scores, and seasonal charts all work well on a phone.
Where it falls short: the app feels dated next to the newer trackers, and anime is all it does. AniList has the nicer interface but no official Android app, so Android users rely on third-party clients. Our MyAnimeList vs AniList comparison covers the tradeoffs.
Last.fm
Last.fm logs every song you play, a process called scrobbling. On Android it pairs with Spotify directly, and with a scrobbler app it can catch most other players too. Years of listening history turn into charts and stats about your taste.
Where it falls short: it records plays automatically but has no real way to rate an album or keep a listening diary. More options are in Last.fm alternatives.
Achriom
Achriom is one library for everything above: shows, films, books, albums, and anime, kept in the same place. You can open it at app.achriom.com in Chrome or any Android browser, or use it inside the ChatGPT app on your phone, where the Achriom app in ChatGPT can add items and read your library in conversation.
The difference is the AI librarian. Because it can see your whole library at once, you can ask it questions a single-format app cannot answer: which albums sit closest to the novel you just finished, why you keep abandoning prestige dramas halfway through, what to watch next given the last ten books you loved. Our list of questions you can ask your AI librarian shows the range.
It imports from Goodreads, Letterboxd, Trakt, TV Time, MyAnimeList, and Last.fm, and you can export the whole library back out at any time.
Where it falls short: there is no dedicated Android app from the Play Store yet, so you use it in the browser or through ChatGPT. It also lacks automatic scrobbling from media servers, which Trakt and Simkl both handle.
Five Android apps means five histories that never talk to each other. Achriom keeps your shows, films, books, albums, and anime in one library, and your AI librarian connects them, so a book you finished last month can point you to tonight's film. Export everything back out any time. Free to start, no card.

Which should you use?
If you mostly watch TV and run Plex or Jellyfin, use Trakt. The automatic logging is worth it on its own.
If film is your main thing and you like the social side, use Letterboxd. Nothing else on Android has that community.
If you want opinions on every season of every show, use Serializd.
If you watch anime alongside regular TV and film, Simkl keeps all three in one app. If anime is your main focus, MyAnimeList is the deeper database. Our anime tracking roundup goes further.
If you read more than you watch, use The StoryGraph.
If you consume across formats and want one history, use Achriom. It suits people who read, watch, and listen in roughly equal measure and are tired of piecing their taste together from five apps. The all-in-one tracker roundup compares it with the other multi-format options.
The honest answer
Android is well served by specialist trackers. Trakt, Letterboxd, The StoryGraph, MyAnimeList, and Last.fm each do one job better than any generalist, and if you only care about one format, pick the specialist and stop there.
Most people do not live in one format, though. Their reading shapes what they watch, and what they watch shapes what they play on the commute. Splitting that across five Android apps works until you want to see the whole picture. That is the case for one library, and it is the reason Achriom exists.
Common questions
What is the best media tracker app for Android? It depends on the format. Trakt leads for TV and film, Letterboxd for film diaries, The StoryGraph for books, and MyAnimeList for anime. For several formats in one place, Achriom holds them in a single library.
Is there one Android app that tracks movies, TV, books, and music together? Very few. Simkl covers TV, film, and anime. Achriom covers shows, films, books, albums, and anime, with an AI librarian that reads across all of them.
Does Trakt have an official Android app? Yes. It handles check-ins, history, and lists. Automatic tracking works best when Trakt is connected to Plex, Jellyfin, or Kodi.
Can I move my TV Time history to another Android app? Yes. Start by exporting your TV Time data, then import it into Trakt, Serializd, Simkl, or Achriom. For Achriom specifically, see moving from TV Time to Achriom.
Is AniList available on Android? There is no official AniList Android app. Android users rely on third-party clients built on its API, or use MyAnimeList’s official app.
Do I need a separate app for each type of media? Only if you want the best specialist for each. Many people keep one specialist app for their main format and one library for everything else, so their full history stays searchable and exportable in one place.
