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
- Plex — Use the Plex-Trakt-Scrobbler plugin
- Kodi, Infuse, VLC and many more
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.
- Choose your source: Trakt (any app that scrobbles to it), or a direct Plex or Jellyfin server connection
- 🌐 Multilingual support (Automatic system detection & Tray menu selection)
- Localized titles for movies and episodes are fetched via TMDB.
- Separate Discord Rich Presence apps for Movies and TV Shows
- Movie posters and show artwork displayed via TMDB
- Direct link to the title's page on TMDB (IMDB as a fallback)
- Progress bar showing watch percentage
- System tray integration with pause/resume functionality
- Start at login option
- Browser-based setup wizard (Trakt login, or a direct Plex / Jellyfin connection)
- 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:oobas the redirect uri) - Create a
credentials.inifile with your settings - Place it in one of these locations:
| Operating System | Location | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discrakt or $HOME/.config/discrakt |
/home/alice/.config/discrakt/credentials.ini |
| macOS | $HOME/Library/Application Support/discrakt |
/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support/discrakt/credentials.ini |
| Windows | %APPDATA%\discrakt |
C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\discrakt\credentials.ini |
Using Plex instead of Trakt: add a [Plex] section and select it with [Discrakt] source = plex:
[Discrakt]
source = plex
[Plex]
serverUrl = http://192.168.1.10:32400
token = your-x-plex-token
username = your-plex-usernameusername is optional and only needed to disambiguate which user's session to mirror on a shared server.
Using Jellyfin: add a [Jellyfin] section and select it with [Discrakt] source = jellyfin:
[Discrakt]
source = jellyfin
[Jellyfin]
serverUrl = http://192.168.1.10:8096
accessToken = your-jellyfin-api-key
username = your-jellyfin-usernameaccessToken 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.

You can also enable autostart from the command line:
discrakt --autostart 1This is useful for scripting or package manager post-install hooks. To disable:
discrakt --autostart 0discrakt [OPTIONS]

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:<setup-server-port> pnpm dev # vp dev
pnpm lint # oxlint via vp
pnpm format # oxfmt via vpTo build the Rust binary against a prebuilt setup-ui/dist without invoking pnpm, set DISCRAKT_SKIP_UI_BUILD=1.
