All In One
Recently discovered after the demise of TV Time, and so far so good.
A UI that takes a minute to get used to, but when familiarity kicks in it’s quite intuitive.
The fact that everything is in one place, movies, TV shows, Anime, that’s really handy, and I know that they are intending to introduce books and video games too, heck if they add music would there be a need for anything other tracking app?
The only downside I’ve noticed is the character limit on reviews. Having been on Letterboxd for 10 years, I’ve amassed quite a hefty portfolio, and moving to Refract to be faced with a 2000 character count is… challenging, but it has meant I’ve become more disciplined, but I don’t have the freedom to explore ideas (I don’t write for others, I write for me as I find it helps me understand movies/shows better). Maybe I just need to start a blog.
Early days, but so far so good. There are paid tiers but it’s all aesthetics, everything you have access to everything you need off the bat completely Ad free.
Fingers crossed for their continued success.

J’ai essayé plusieurs apps de ce genre après la fermeture de TvTime et Réfract est de la loin la meilleure + gratuite + française.
Made Leaving TV Time So Much Easier
I came to Refract after TV Time announced its shutdown, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better transition. I had years and years of viewing history to move, with tens of thousands of items, and Refract managed to recover nearly everything. Only 40 titles didn’t make it over, which was honestly better than I expected.
What has impressed me most, though, is the team behind the app. They’ve been incredibly transparent throughout the migration, communicating openly about issues, updates and what they’re working on. When I had an account issue, I reached out and they personally fixed it for me. That level of communication and connection to an app’s development is rare and made a stressful transition feel as smooth as possible.
I also really appreciate their commitment to keeping the core tracking experience free and, importantly, making our data accessible to us. After nearly losing years of history with TV Time, knowing I’m not handing my data over to be held hostage matters to me.
The app itself is clean, intuitive and enjoyable to use, and the developers are actively listening to community feedback and continuing to improve it. I’m excited to see what Refract becomes. I’m definitely sticking around.
