trakt-watch

A small CLI to mark items watched on trakt. This lets you:

• Mark movies/episodes as watched (by searching, providing the URL, or choosing a recent TV show to mark the next episode as watched)
• Rate movies/episodes
• Remove recently watched items from your history
• Query your recent history

This uses traktexport internally to authenticate, so follow the steps here to login/setup your credentials.

Installation

Requires python3.11+

To install with pip, run:

pip install trakt-watch

The progress command works similarly to watch, but it presents you with a list of recently watched episodes, querying trakt for the 'next episode' like on the progress page on the trakt website.

letterboxd

The letterboxd command can be used to search for a trakt entry, and then open the corresponding letterboxd URL using the TMDB ID. This is useful since letterboxd doesn't have an API, so we can use trakt's as a stand-in. I put this shell function in my shell startup:

lb () {
        trakt-watch letterboxd --action open "$@"
}
