[Feature] Optional SIMKL Integration for Watchlists #49

@Azmarine13

Description

@Azmarine13

First of all, thank you for creating Cronica. The application has one of the cleanest and most polished watchlist experiences available across the Apple ecosystem.

The combination of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Vision Pro... along with CloudKit synchronization and release notifications makes it a fantastic solution for users who primarily want a lightweight media tracking experience.

I would like to suggest adding optional SIMKL integration as an account synchronization provider.

Potential Features

  • Sign in with a SIMKL account
  • Import watchlists from SIMKL
  • Import completed movies and shows
  • Import anime collections
  • Synchronize TV episode progress
  • Display SIMKL ratings
  • Update watch status automatically
  • Export changes back to SIMKL
  • Import personal statistics
  • Restore watch history on a new device
  • Watch Status Synchronization

Technical Advantages

SIMKL supports multiple connected identifiers including:

  • IMDb
  • TMDB
  • AniList
  • MyAnimeList
  • AniDB
  • SIMKL IDs
  • and few more...

This could help improve metadata matching while remaining compatible with Cronica's existing TMDB-based architecture.

Useful Resources:

The integration could remain completely optional and only activate for users who choose to connect a SIMKL account.
