my muse

i’ve been waiting so long for an app like this, thank you 🙏

Great, Clean, Simple

I found this app because of a facebook group I am in for enthusiasts of physical media, and I am so happy I did. It is clean, required no login or account, and just does what it says - gives me a neat way to catalog my discs. I don’t want any more features than it already has, it’s really just a nice thing to feel like you’re organised in some way. Thanks for making this app, making it free, and keeping it simple 🙏🏻

Great free database tool

Really easy to input movie names and format, with clean interface and attractive design. Would appreciate the movie runtime being displayed on the main shelf page so it’s easier to decide what to watch based on movie length, and also would prefer that numbered films (e.g. 1917) appear at the top rather than the bottom, but these are fairly minor suggestions. Highly recommend

Great app, perfect functionality

Love it, especially being able to add custom tags. Would love to see the ability to upload our own cover images for movies and add custom box sets/collectors editions that aren’t in the app currently.

Response from developer

You can! But not directly to shelf... if you upload them to TMDB (the database we pull our movies from), it'll appear on shelf in a couple days - as well as Letterboxd, etc who all pull from the same place. Hot tip!

Android Compatibility?
