Why this project matters

Less time managing a library. More clarity about what to watch next.

Watch progress, completion choices, and playable media belong in the same story.

Field notes / Omakase Plus

What it is

Omakase Plus is the private companion to Omakase. Recommendations help me choose; Plus follows the practical work of checking the right title, preparing a usable library, and keeping track of what I watch.

I still use it in my home setup. The public preview and documentation explain the workflow. The working app, accounts, and library remain private; the documentation is not a signup page.

From an idea to something ready to watch

  • Choose deliberately: start with a recommendation or a specific anime.
  • Check the identity: distinguish the title, season, and episode numbering before accepting media.
  • Verify the library: check episode coverage, readable media, subtitles, and representative playback before publishing to Plex.
  • Keep uncertainty visible: continue past failed candidates and show missing or unavailable episodes honestly.
  • Track the experience: retain progress, completion, and ratings, with AniList synchronization for the supported workflow.

The current provider workflow checks whether files can actually be downloaded before treating them as usable coverage. A search result or an accepted request is not the same as a playable episode.

What still needs a human

Apple TV viewing updates remain manual. Automatic Apple TV tracking is not part of the verified experience. Source availability can also change, and unavailable episodes stay visible rather than being marked complete.

Library changes and cleanup have recovery and eligibility checks. The public guides explain those boundaries without exposing private records or operating access.

Why I keep building it

I want the recommendation, the library, and the viewing record to agree. Plus makes that relationship inspectable, so I can spend less time chasing mismatched seasons and more time watching something I chose.
