With this software you can organize your watched movies, read books or any other media you consumed. You can choose between a CLI tool or a GUI.
- Clone this repository.
- Enter the repository.
- Run
chmod +x install.h - Run
./install.sh
Now you can run mtrack in your terminal to use it.
Tip
You may need to change your $PATH to use mtrack via your terminal.
Important
When using wayland as communication protocol you need to install the qt6-wayland
package for your distribution.
Using wayland might lead to some minor frontend bugs e.g. missing icons, etc.
A C++ compiler, sqlite3 and Qt6 is required to install this software. All other requirements are shipped with the software.
- GCC >= 6
- sqlite3 >= 3.49.1
- Qt >= 6.8.2
I didn't test this software on windows but executing the install.sh using WSL
should work as expected.
Run this command to install al requirements:
sudo apt install build-essential sqlit3 qt6-base-dev
Warning
While testing this software on debian the build.sh could not find moc
and uic under /usr/lib/qt6 because the actuall execuables where under
/usr/lib/qt6/libexec. My workaround are two symbolic links in the
qt6 directory pointing to the executables in libexec.
You can use the software as a CLI and as a GUI.
To run inside the terminal just entermtrack --help to show all available
commands. Running mtrack without any options will launch the GUI.

I used CXXOPTS to handle command line options easily, nlohmann/json for json handling and fmt for formatting.
