Advanced

Profile

Each profile keeps its own saved tokens, list picks, sync history, and background schedule.

Finish setup

Connect PublicMetaDB, choose your sources and create the first synchronization routes in one guided flow.

Profile UUID

Use this UUID + password to reopen the same profile in another browser or server.

Profile Password

New Profile Password

Changing it needs your current password above, and signs this profile out everywhere else.

Saved

Connections

Connect the accounts you want to use in sync pairs. Library is always available locally.

Connection readiness not checked

Save or sign into a profile, then test your connections.

PublicMetaDB

Lists, watchlist, collection, and history. Use it as a source or target in any compatible pair.

API Key

Get your API key from PublicMetaDB

TMDB Optional

AniList Optional

Anime list sync directly from AniList.

Username

Leave empty if anime should come only from SIMKL.

Client ID Optional

Client Secret

Redirect URL

This is a fixed AniList URL, not this site’s address. Set it as your client’s Redirect URL at anilist.co/settings/developer.

Access Token

A username alone is enough to read a public list. A token is only needed to write to AniList — private lists, or using AniList as a sync-pair target.

Optional: connect only if SyncMeta needs permission to write to AniList.

Not checkedTest this saved connection.

MDBList Optional

Your MDBList lists, watchlist, collection and watch history. An API key is enough to read; connect with OAuth to also write back to MDBList.

API Key

Open MDBList and copy the API key from settings.

Client ID

Create an app at mdblist.com/developer to sync into MDBList.

Client Secret

Redirect URL

Set this exact URL as your MDBList app’s Redirect URL, or authorization will be refused.

Enter your client ID and secret, then connect.

Legacy compatibility controls Retained only so older profile payloads can still be read and converted into pairs.

SIMKL Lists

Choose which movie, show, and anime statuses should sync from SIMKL.

SIMKL Options

SIMKL Plan to Watch -> PublicMetaDB Watchlist

List Visibility in PublicMetaDB

Recommended: private — these are your personal SIMKL status lists.

AniList Lists

Choose which anime lists should sync into PublicMetaDB.

AniList Options

AniList Planning -> PublicMetaDB Watchlist

List Visibility in PublicMetaDB

Recommended: private — these reflect your personal AniList activity.

Trakt Catalogs

Primary sync rules are Trakt watchlists and watched history. Recommendation, personal, liked, and public lists remain available as legacy list imports.

Trakt Options

Trakt Watchlist -> PublicMetaDB Watchlist

Trakt Personal Lists

Applies to your Trakt watchlist and personal-style catalogs.

Trakt Public Lists

Applies to liked Trakt lists and Discover/public Trakt lists.

MDBList Lists

Imports selected MDBList catalog lists into PublicMetaDB. Native MDBList watchlist/history writes are not exposed by this app; use MDBList's Trakt integration for that path.

MDBList Options

List Visibility in PublicMetaDB

Recommended: public — MDBList selections are usually shared/public-style catalogs.

Schedule & safety

Automatic runs and deletion safeguards apply to sync routes, no matter which compatible services are at either end.

Every route has its own schedule

A route defines its source, destination, content, removal behavior, and automatic frequency together. PublicMetaDB, SIMKL, Trakt, AniList, MDBList, and the local Library are treated by capability rather than as a fixed hub.

Loading route schedules...

Watch History

History is a normal route category. Send it in either supported direction, include it in a two-way route, and schedule that route alongside watchlists and collections.

Resume Progress

Resume progress is a normal route category wherever both ends expose compatible playback APIs. PublicMetaDB, Trakt, SIMKL, MDBList, and Library can send and receive it.

Safety

A sync that would remove far more than usual is paused for review instead of running.

Pause unusually large removals

Pause when more than this share of a list would be removed

Applies to sync pairs in mirror and managed removal modes. A paused run is reported on the Issues page and nothing is deleted.

Removal protection is provider-neutral and applies to every route using mirror or managed removal mode.

Notifications

Tell this browser when something needs you. Notifications are optional and off by default.

Browser notifications

Shown by your browser while SyncMeta is open in a tab. Nothing leaves this device.

Enable browser notifications

Server-side channels

Discord, ntfy, Gotify and generic webhooks are sent by the server. Stored URLs and tokens are encrypted and never returned after saving.

Data Management

Explicit controls for SyncMeta state, mappings, connections, PublicMetaDB lists and this profile. Destructive actions remain clearly marked as the Danger Zone.

Synchronization state

Clears cursors, list fingerprints and pair ownership state. Connections remain; the next run rebuilds state.

Mappings

Automatic resolution caches can be rebuilt independently. Manually confirmed mappings are preserved unless you explicitly choose to remove them.

Connections

Disconnect SIMKL, Trakt, AniList and MDBList. PublicMetaDB destination and TMDB metadata settings remain.

Local Library

Empties SyncMeta's own copy of your titles, watch history and resume points. Nothing is deleted on SIMKL, Trakt, AniList, MDBList or PublicMetaDB. Routes that use the Library start over: the next run may add, but will not remove anything until it has completed once.

PublicMetaDB data

Removes every title from your PublicMetaDB Watchlist. The Watchlist itself and your other PublicMetaDB lists remain intact.

Deletes lists managed by SyncMeta. It does not delete media from PublicMetaDB itself and cannot be automatically restored.

Profile

Permanently deletes this profile, saved credentials, sync history, mappings and local Library data.
