How-to
Import your library from Trakt
Move your Trakt history, ratings, watchlist, and lists into dejaVu in a few minutes — movies and shows, including rewatches.
Updated September 7, 2026
You already track movies and shows on Trakt. You should not have to type it all again. dejaVu imports history, ratings, watchlist, collection, and lists — movies and TV.
What gets imported
- Watch history (including rewatches)
- Ratings (movies, shows, episodes)
- Watchlist
- Collection
- Custom lists
Nothing is blindly overwritten: you pick which data types to bring over.
1. Create a dejaVu account
Go to dejaVu.plus and sign up. Free, no credit card.
2. Open the import wizard
Once you are signed in, open Import and choose Trakt. The wizard handles connection, then transfer.
3. Connect Trakt with a device code
dejaVu uses Trakt’s device code flow, the same idea as a TV app:
- Click Connect to Trakt.
- A code appears, with a URL (usually trakt.tv/activate).
- Open that page, sign in to Trakt if needed, and enter the code.
- Return to dejaVu: the connection confirms on its own, usually within a minute.
The code expires after a few minutes. If it is no longer valid, start the connection again.
4. Choose what to import
Tick only what you need. For a full move, take history + ratings + watchlist. Lists and collection can follow.
The import covers movies and shows. If you also use Letterboxd, see importing from Letterboxd: the two sources complement each other.
5. Let the import finish
A large TV history (many episodes) takes longer than movies alone. When it is done, open the dashboard: watch time, Up Next, and in-progress shows should match what you had on Trakt.
After the import
- Spot-check titles you know well (a rewatch, an episode rating).
- Connect Kodi if you already scrobble from the living room.
- You can disconnect Trakt afterward. You do not have to keep using it.
dejaVu is not a Trakt clone: movies and shows, collaborative lists, physical collection, and a dashboard you configure. See an alternative to Trakt and Letterboxd.
