Overview
Ryot (Roll Your Own Tracker) is a self-hosted personal tracking platform that covers media consumption (books, movies, shows, games, podcasts, anime), fitness workouts, and measurements. It provides a unified web UI and GraphQL API, supports metadata import from TMDB, Anilist, OpenLibrary, and other sources, and stores data in PostgreSQL. Deployment is via Docker or Docker Compose. It is actively maintained with regular feature additions.
Where it falls short of Tableau
- No business analytics or arbitrary data source connectivity
- No mobile native app; relies on Progressive Web App
- Social/sharing features are limited compared to Goodreads or Letterboxd
- No collaborative or multi-household tracking support
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
