Watcharr v3
https://github.com/sbondCo/Watcharr/releases/tag/v3.0.0
Open source, self-hostable watched list for all your content (movies, tv series, anime, games) with user authentication, modern and clean UI and a very simple setup.
New

- Gets you to your data quicker.
- Reduces bandwidth usage.

- Created a new centralized Search service.
- Search by (external) id now occurs on server.
- Search: Support searching your own watched list for results before needing to go out to external db.
