KizunaShelf: A Self-Hosted Media Tracker Built on Files Over Apps

Introduction to KizunaShelf: A shelf for everything you love

After cycling through various media tracking tools, I built KizunaShelf to give me full control over my data using the 'files over apps' philosophy. This self-hosted solution stores everything as Markdown files in an Obsidian Vault, offering a flexible schema and native apps for iOS and desktop. It connects your favorite media to the specific moments they became part of your life, ensuring your data remains accessible forever without relying on proprietary servers.

"Your data will stay with you forever, with or without this app."
