About this project

Pitch

Tonkatsu Box is a local-first tracker and backlog manager for everything you play, watch and read - games, movies, TV shows, anime, manga, books, light novels, comics and visual novels, all in one app and one collection. The idea is simple: it doesn't matter where you actually watch, play or read something - you track it in one place, and that place belongs to you. Everything is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. After metadata is fetched, the app works fully offline, and your data lives in a local database you can back up, export and move freely. It's free, open source, and there's nothing to sign up for. Key features: - Track games, movies, TV, anime, manga, books, comics and visual novels in a single collection - Search and add titles from major open databases for each medium - Track progress with statuses, ratings, personal notes, episode/chapter/page counters and filler markers - One-click imports from popular services so you can migrate in minutes - A releases calendar for upcoming episodes of the shows and anime you follow - Tier lists and mood grids built straight from your collection, exported as images - Custom collections that mix any media types, with tags, filters and sorting - Link related items, like a book and its film adaptation - Fully local and private - no accounts, no cloud, offline-first Cross-platform: runs on Windows, Linux and Android from a single codebase, with a database compatible across desktop and mobile. Free and open source, with regular releases.

Why we're launching this

From the team
Everything we play, watch and read tends to end up scattered across different services - one app for games, another for movies, a few more for anime, manga and books. Each one has its own account, its own list, and none of them talk to each other. I wanted to try bringing all of it into a single structure: one place to track everything, regardless of where you actually play, watch or read it. And instead of relying on yet another cloud service, I made it local-first - your data stays on your.
