README
Discrakt - Easy to Use Trakt/Plex/Jellyfin Discord Rich Presence
A simple app that acts as a bridge between Discord and Trakt, Plex, or Jellyfin, allowing for the display of the watch status as Discord's Rich Presence. Essentially, it's a Trakt/Plex/Jellyfin Discord Rich Presence.
How it works: Discrakt mirrors what you're watching to Discord as Rich Presence. There are two ways to connect it:
1. Via Trakt — works with any app that scrobbles to Trakt, so your status shows up wherever and in whatever app you watch (TV, phone, across the world), as long as one device is running Discord and Discrakt. Popular apps with Trakt integration:
Stremio — Enable the Trakt addon in Settings → Addons
2. Direct Plex or Jellyfin connection — Discrakt connects straight to your Plex or Jellyfin server and mirrors your active session, with no Trakt account or external scrobbling needed. You log in during setup (Plex login, or Jellyfin Quick Connect) and Discrakt polls the server for what you're currently playing.
Either way, movie and show artwork plus localized titles are fetched from TMDB.

Browser-based setup wizard (Trakt login, or a direct Plex / Jellyfin connection)
Setup
Run the executable
A setup wizard opens in your browser
Pick your source:
Trakt: click Login with Trakt and approve in your browser. (Advanced: use a public Trakt profile by username, no login.)
Plex: click Login with Plex and approve. (Advanced: enter a server URL + token manually.)
Jellyfin: enter your server URL and click Login with Jellyfin, then enter the shown code in Jellyfin's Quick Connect. (Advanced: use an API key.)
Note: Discord needs to be running on the same machine as Discrakt.
Advanced: Manual Configuration
Discrakt creates credentials.ini for you during the setup wizard, so this file is not included in releases — you don't need to download it. Only follow these steps if you want to use your own Trakt API application:
Create an API Application on Trakt.tv (with scrobble capabilities and urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob as the redirect uri)
Create a credentials.ini file with your settings
Place it in one of these locations:
Operating System
Location
Example
Linux
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discrakt or $HOME/.config/discrakt
accessToken can be an API key (Dashboard → API Keys) or a token from Quick Connect. When source is omitted, Discrakt prefers Trakt, then Plex, then Jellyfin, based on what's configured.

Development
Make sure you've installed Rust. You can install Rust and its package manager, cargo by following the instructions on rustup.rs.
After installing the requirements below, simply run cargo run.
The setup wizard is a React app in setup-ui/ built with the Vite+ (vite-plus) unified toolchain (Rolldown build, oxlint, oxfmt), embedded into the binary at build time. cargo build runs the frontend build automatically via build.rs, so you also need Node and pnpm installed (managed by mise: mise install). To iterate on the wizard UI directly, run the app once to start its local setup server, then point the dev server at it:
cd setup-ui
VITE_PROXY_TARGET=http://127.0.0.1: pnpm dev # vp dev
pnpm lint # oxlint via vp
pnpm format # oxfmt via vp
To build the Rust binary against a prebuilt setup-ui/dist without invoking pnpm, set DISCRAKT_SKIP_UI_BUILD=1.
