Mediapad guide — games, anime, manga, books, movies and TV in one list: status, progress, rating — no account, no server to run — no install, no ads

When your games, anime, books and movies are scattered everywhere

Games live in one app, anime in another, books in a notes file — and keeping all of them in one place often means setting up your own server or paying for a subscription. When a service closes, years of history can vanish at once.

Mediapad keeps games, anime, manga, novels and books, movies and TV in one list. It opens right in the browser — nothing to install, no sign-up and no server to run — in Korean, English, Japanese and German.

1. Add from search, or type it in yourself

• On the Search tab, pick a type (All, Games, Anime, Manga, Novels & Books, Movies, TV) and type a title. Every result shows where it comes from, and Add puts it under Planning. Titles appear in your language when the catalog has one, with the original title small underneath.
• Can’t find it, or no connection? Add by hand: title, type, year and the total, if you know it. If you try to add something that’s already there, it says “Already in your library” and lets you open it or add it anyway.

2. Set the status, tap +1 as you go

• There are five statuses — Planning, In progress, Completed, On hold, Dropped — and In progress reads Playing, Watching or Reading depending on the type. Change it right from the card.
• Progress counts in the unit that fits: episodes for TV and anime, chapters or volumes for manga, pages or % for books, hours or % for games, and watched or not for movies. Tap +1 or − on the card; with a total the bar fills, and at the end it offers Mark completed.
• Moving something to In progress fills in the start day, and Completed fills in the finish day. You can change both later.

3. Rate and note, filter and sort, grid or list

• Tap a card to open it: a 0–10 rating in halves (also shown as five stars), notes, a favorite heart and how many times you watched, played or read it again.
• At the top of the library, split by type and status; Filters narrow it to a rating range, a year or favorites, and the search box looks through titles and notes. Sort by recently updated, title (in your language’s alphabetical order), rating, year, date added or progress.
• Switch between a cover grid and a list with the buttons at the top; your choice is remembered. Anything without a cover gets a drawing for its type instead.

4. Keep a backup file and move it to another phone

• Your library is saved in this browser only. Under Settings, Save backup file gives you a file; on the new phone, open Mediapad and pick it with Bring in a file. You see what will change first, then choose Add to my library or Replace everything.
• To look at it in a spreadsheet program, use Save spreadsheet file (CSV); Korean and Japanese titles come through intact, and the same file can be brought back in. A damaged file or one from another app is refused with “nothing was changed”. After 30 changes, it gently reminds you to back up.

5. Bring in a mixshelf backup

• Pick a mixshelf backup file with Bring in a file and you get a preview first. Books, games, movies and TV keep their type; wish list and unread become Planning, reading and playing become In progress, read and finished become Completed; tags stay in the notes as #tag. Bringing the same file in twice adds nothing.
