What is Trakt?
Trakt is a media software that works in conjunction with tons of apps and devices to store and sync your streaming content.
Users can integrate their Trakt account within various applications to automatically track everything they are viewing.
One of the best features Trakt provides is its ability to function across multiple platforms, which include:
- Netflix
- Plex
- Kodi
- Cinema APK
- Stremio and more!
If you use more than one of the above services to stream content, Trakt will automatically sync what you’re watching so you don’t have to repeat the process.
This is called scrobbling and is a great way to make sure you stay up-to-date on all of your favorite shows and movies.
Because they are two of the most popular streaming sources, this tutorial will show you how to set up Trakt on Kodi and popular Streaming Apps.
However, it can also be set up on any above-aforementioned applications and more.
Before installing Trakt into these streaming apps, we must register for a user account. Trakt is a free service and you can sign up by CLICKING HERE or the link below:

Trakt TV – Activate on Kodi
Note: Not all Kodi add-ons have the ability to use Trakt technology. I suggest checking add-ons prior to installation to see if they are compatible with Trakt.
For a complete list of the Best Kodi add-ons, follow the link provided below:
Step 1
Open Kodi and select your favorite add-on (In the following instance I have chosen Exodus Redux, however, the process will be similar for nearly all add-ons capable of using Trakt).
Step 2
From the main menu of the add-on, scroll down, and select Tools.
Step 3
Click SETTINGS: Accounts.
Step 4
Scroll down to Trakt and click Authorization….
Step 5
Kodi will then provide you with a Trakt authorization code. Copy or write this code down.
Step 6
Go to trakt.tv/activate and enter in the code provided in the previous step and click the CONTINUE button.
Step 7
When asked if you would like to allow the add-on to use your account, click YES.
Step 8
A message will appear that confirms your device is now connected.
You can also opt to follow this alternative process for all your add-ons and builds within Kodi.
NOTE: If you are looking for a simple way to install the best add-ons and repositories quickly and efficiently, I suggest using a Kodi Build. Click the link below for a list of the Best Kodi Builds.
