Trakt.tv/activate

Trakt is a platform that does many things but mainly keeps track of the TV shows and movies you watch. It integrates with your media center or home theater PC to enable scrobbling, so everything is automated. Some people prefer to check in from their phones, so we enable that as well.

If you stream media from multiple apps on your Fire TV Stick, linking Trakt TV lets you keep track of every TV show and movie you watch. It even recommends movies and TV shows based on your watchlist or watch history.
