🚀 Trakt Product Update – Summer 2026 Edition

Track, Discover, Share brings together what Trakt is for: keeping your watching history, finding your next favorite, and sharing it with others. This summer, we’ve been making those everyday parts of Trakt easier to use, while giving you more ways to make it your own.

Grab your :popcorn: for what’s changed, what you can try, and where we’re headed.

:high_voltage: Fewer steps to get things done

Press / or Cmd+K to search for a movie, show, or page within Trakt. You can find your next destination without a single click. Open Trakt and try it →

Reordering a long list no longer means dragging an item all the way through it. Type the position you want, or move an item straight to the top or bottom. Open your lists →

:play_button: Find your next watch faster

Progress now separates “Up to date” from “Ended.” Shows you’re caught up on have their own view, separate from shows you’ve finished that have ended or been canceled. Check your progress →

Calendar and Releases now let you filter for premieres and finales. Use them to find what’s starting or wrapping up without browsing every release. Open Calendar · Browse Releases

:balance_scale: More ways to decide what to watch

Ratings now include Letterboxd for movies and MyAnimeList for anime, where available. Open the ratings breakdown to compare sources; Letterboxd appears in that expanded view. See the ratings for Princess Mononoke →

We’ve also updated the Where to Watch panel. It brings the available streaming options into a revised layout when you’re ready to pick a service. Find where to watch Princess Mononoke →

:wrench: The smaller things that add up

We’ve fixed several causes of unexpected sign-outs, loading errors, and import problems, along with watched labels, season progress counts, and hard-to-see poster badges. These are the small things you notice when they get in your way. If you’re still running into them, please keep sending us examples.

Before clearing data, removing duplicate plays, or deleting your account, Trakt now offers to export your data first. That option is on by default, and an incomplete export prompts you again before continuing. Duplicate cleanup also lets you choose which play to keep. Open your data settings →

We’re also bringing more of everything to our mobile apps. iOS updates added richer ratings, season details, widget progress bars, and fixes for past-date tracking and freezes; recent Android work includes widgets, a light theme, Smart List creation, and an updated watched-date picker.

:sparkles: VIP previews: more control and detail

VIP members can turn on Preview Features to try features we’re still refining. Some are new since the last update, while others have been expanded or are still being tested.

  • Parental Guidance: see content guidance for movies and shows, and filter by severity in Advanced Filters.
  • Action confirmations: get feedback after supported actions, with quick undo options and a shortcut to change lists.
  • List counts: see how many items a list contains and how many lists are in a section.
  • Reviewer stats: see how much of a title someone has watched alongside their review rating.

These are previews, so the details may change. Tell us which ones help and where something still feels awkward. Try Preview Features →

:world_map: More VIP previews to explore

There’s more to explore. VIP members can try these previews and help shape what comes next.

  • Soundtracks: find music from movies and shows, with playback where a track can be matched.
  • Visual genre picker: choose your favorite genres from a grid.
  • Edit Mode: show or hide sections that support it.
  • Favorites by year: browse your favorites grouped by year.
  • Smarter Continue Watching sorting: try a different way to order your next watches.
  • Rewatch sessions: track, in Continue Watching, another watch of a show you’ve already seen.
  • Pantheon: compare your watch time with people you follow.

We’re still working out the details, and how you use these features will help guide that work. Tell us what you’d keep, change, or do differently. Explore Preview Features →

:telescope: What we’re working on next

Several requests you’ve raised are now being worked on:

These changes aren’t ready to announce as released yet. You can follow the linked work for updates.

:speech_balloon: What still needs work?

Your feedback helps us decide what to improve next. If something isn’t working as expected, share the affected page, your device or browser, and what you expected on the forums or in the relevant GitHub repository.

For feature requests, check the roadmap to vote or explain how you’d use an existing suggestion. What’s the everyday task you’d most like us to make easier?

Till next time, happy watching!

That’s great, IF you could find out what the Duplicate is before deleting it would be even better!

Wanna address the elephant in the room that is quietly reducing the list limits for VIP members?

While you’re at it, let us know when you plan on adding back notes? You know, the thing I PAID FOR that you removed.

The fact that they keep ignore this is crazy. Not a single comment like atleast we’ll take a look or something

you added the premiere on calendar (not calendar a different button) but in V2 there were new shows and season premieres. So we do not care much about s4 episode 1, but season 1 episode 1, meaning a new show. will that be added?

I’ve never seen a service fail so quickly at doing what it advertised to do. This site used to be simple, elegant and productive. Now it’s a hodgepodge of UI slop, annoying login processes while being more expensive and less useful/user friendly. Now you are limiting your API access to other apps. What do you think that will accomplish. Do you honestly believe that people will flock here because of that? First SIMKL and now Kometa is even dropping support for Trakt because the writing is on the wall.

Congratulations. I have completely dis-integrated my entire media stack from Trakt and moved on to better services like MDBList and SIMKL.
