Ryot
Self-hosted tracker for media, fitness, and life activities
Ryot is a self-hosted platform for tracking books, shows, games, workouts, and more. Features beautiful graphs, integrations with popular services, and a fast, modern interface.
Overview
Track Everything in One Place
Ryot (Roll Your Own Tracker) is a self-hosted platform designed for individuals who want unified tracking of media consumption and fitness activities. Whether you're logging books, TV shows, video games, or workouts, Ryot provides a single interface with beautiful visualizations and comprehensive data management.
Built for Power Users
Written in Rust for exceptional performance, Ryot offers a modern PWA-enabled interface that works seamlessly across devices. Import your existing data from Goodreads, Trakt, or Strong App, and integrate with media servers like Jellyfin, Plex, Kodi, Emby, and Audiobookshelf. The platform supports OpenID Connect authentication and sends notifications through Discord, Ntfy, and Apprise.
Flexible Deployment
Ryot is available in community and pro versions. The community edition provides core tracking functionality with a documented GraphQL API for custom integrations. The pro version adds profile sharing, recommendations, and enhanced collections. Both versions prioritize user control, data ownership, and an intuitive UI that makes tracking enjoyable rather than tedious.
