Features

The free way to organize the films you own, and to decide what to watch tonight from the shelf you already built. Film Library catalogs everything you own, disc by disc, with real cover art, cast, and crew. Then it helps you choose what to watch next based on the last watched film in your log. No subscription. No account. No paywalls. No ads. No tracking. ORGANIZE EVERYTHING YOU OWN Add any film or TV box set in seconds, complete with cover art, cast, and crew. Scan a barcode on iPhone or iPad and the title fills itself in. Own it on disc, digital, or still hunting for it? Add anything you like. SORTED THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT IT Tag every format, DVD, Blu-ray, 4K, Criterion, Steelbook, and any tags of your own, by shelf, by mood, by who you lent it to. Sort and filter by director, year, runtime, genre, or what you loved most, until the right film is one tap away. NEVER WONDER WHAT TO WATCH Film Library helps picks what to watch next from the films you already own: more from the same series, the same director or star, a same-genre pick, and one wildcard. It even surfaces a film with an anniversary today. Never a streaming upsell. Always something already within reach. KEEP A REAL WATCH HISTORY Log a watch with a tap, or back-date one you forgot. A calendar and a journal track everything you have seen, and when. RATE AND REVIEW Rate movies up to five stars and leave reviews or notes about it. BRING YOUR COLLECTION WITH YOU Already on Letterboxd, IMDb, or Blu-ray.com? Import your collection in minutes and your ratings and formats come right along. From there it is your data, on your device, exportable anytime. You are never locked in. YOURS ON EVERY SCREEN A true universal app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac in the OS 26 Liquid Glass design. Your library syncs privately through your own iCloud, no server, no sign-in. Home-screen widgets keep tonight's pick a glance away. Film Library uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
