About Tastral

Your personal media journal for tracking, rating, and organizing all your entertainment across movies, TV shows, games, books, music, and more.

What is Tastral?

Tastral is a comprehensive media tracking platform designed to help you organize and remember everything you watch, play, read, and listen to. Whether you're a cinephile tracking hundreds of films, a bookworm managing your reading list, a gamer cataloging your collection, or a music lover documenting your favorite albums, Tastral provides the tools you need to build your personal media journal.

Our platform combines powerful search capabilities with intuitive organization features, allowing you to create a comprehensive record of your media consumption while sharing your taste with others.

The All-in-One Alternative

While other platforms specialize in one type of media—like Letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books, Trakt for TV shows, or Backloggd for games—Tastral brings everything together in one unified platform. Instead of juggling multiple accounts across different services, you can track all your entertainment in a single, cohesive journal.

Whether you're looking for a Letterboxd alternative that also handles books and games, a Goodreads replacement that tracks your movies and music, or simply want to consolidate your media tracking into one place, Tastral is the comprehensive solution you've been looking for.

No more switching between apps. No more fragmented tracking. Just one platform for everything you consume, with the same powerful features across all media types.

Track All Your Media in One Place

Tastral supports a wide variety of media types, making it the ultimate destination for all your entertainment tracking needs:

  • Movies & TV Shows - Track films and television series, rate episodes and seasons, and build your watchlist
  • Video Games - Log games you've played, track your progress, and organize your gaming library
  • Books - Manage your reading list, track books you've read, and discover new titles

With support for so many media types, Tastral eliminates the need for multiple tracking apps and websites. Everything you consume, all in one organized platform.
