Self-hosted, per-user movie and TV recommendations for Plex built from each user's watch history.

Pluginfreeglobal

Shortlist is a self-hosted, open-source add-on for Plex that generates a private, per-user "Picked for You" recommendation row from each user's own watch history. It runs as a single Docker container, works with or without AI, and is built for Plex server owners who want personalized recommendations without sending viewing data to a third party.
