Trakt for Kodi review
A free Kodi add-on for scrobbling playback and syncing watched status and collections with Trakt.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Trakt for Kodi is a free service integration that records watched movies and TV episodes and keeps watched status and collections in sync with a Trakt account. It suits Kodi users who want viewing history and collection data to follow them through Trakt, rather than a broader media-library integration. It supports local media and some remote streams when Kodi has suitable metadata, and also lets users rate movies and episodes after playback.
Playback scrobbling is its central strength: the add-on automatically records movies and episodes as they are watched. It can also synchronize collections and watched status manually or when the Kodi library updates, reducing the need to manage each change separately. Custom skin and keymap actions provide additional ways to mark watched status and submit ratings. Remote-stream support depends on Kodi providing the metadata needed for identification, so users with streams that lack it may not get the same tracking coverage as with local media.
The add-on is free and is available for all Kodi platforms. Installation is documented through Kodi’s official add-on repository, with a ZIP-based method for development builds. The integration is specifically between Kodi and Trakt; community channels are the listed support route. Choose it if syncing viewing history, watched status, ratings, and collections with Trakt is the goal. It is a narrower fit for anyone looking for a wider set of media-library integrations or tracking that does not depend on playback metadata.
