VERDICT

Should I use Achriom?

Achriom is an AI librarian for books, movies, music, TV shows, anime, podcasts, and games. Import from Goodreads, Letterboxd, Trakt, and more. Free to start, no credit card. - achriom.com

Worth it. Buy (it's free) if you're a media omnivore who wants books, films, TV, anime, and games in one AI-searchable library. Skip it if you want a deep single-medium community or a tracker with a proven track record.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~25 public sources; vendor pages are rich but independent user reviews are thin, hence medium confidence.

Best for

  • Media omnivores tracking 3+ mediums
  • Goodreads/Letterboxd/Trakt consolidators
  • Claude/ChatGPT users wanting a media memory layer

Not for

  • Single-medium power users — Letterboxd or MyAnimeList communities go deeper
  • Teams or shared households — it's explicitly a personal library, not collaborative software
  • Privacy-first buyers — no public security page found
  • Anyone betting years of logs on an unproven 2026 startup — ask TV Time refugees

Gotchas - check before you buy

No public security page; only a privacy policy

Tiny social footprint (8 Instagram followers) means little peer support when things break
