Does Plekt replace Plex or Jellyfin?
No. Plekt sits between your media servers and Trakt and syncs watch state, so you keep the servers you already run.
Plekt: Watch History Sync Hub
Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and Trakt each keep their own watch history. Plekt is a watch history sync hub on your own server that keeps watched status and resume points in step across them.

Common questions
What happened to Plembfin?
Plekt is Plembfin under a new name. Existing Docker installs only change the image name and keep their volume, data folder and settings, and the old PLEMBFIN_ environment variables still work.
Can I run Plekt without Docker?
Yes. There is a Windows installer that registers a background service, a Node.js 22.19 or newer install from source, and an Unraid template. Docker Compose is the recommended route.
