Tonkatsu Box

Tonkatsu Box is a free, open-source media tracker for people who want one place to manage everything they watch, play, and read. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Android, and covers a wide range of media types: retro games, movies, TV shows, animation, anime, manga, visual novels, and books.

The core idea is unified collection management. You can mix any media type into a single collection, switch between grid and list views, and track status across four states: In Progress, Completed, Planned, or Dropped. For TV shows and anime, it tracks individual episodes. Everything can be rated on a 1–10 scale with personal notes attached.

Finding titles is backed by a broad set of databases:

• Games: IGDB, RetroAchievements, SteamGridDB
• Movies and TV: TMDB, Kinorium
• Anime and manga: AniList, MangaBaka, MyAnimeList
• Visual novels: VNDB
• Books and comics: OpenLibrary, Fantlab, Google Books, ComicVine

Beyond basic tracking, it has a few features that set it apart from a simple TV time alternative. Visual Boards let you arrange posters on a free-form canvas, add text notes and links, and draw connections between items. Tier Lists support drag-and-drop ranking into S/A/B/C tiers, and a Mood Grid lets you lay out picks on a customizable N×M board. Both export as PNG.
