About

Quadrate

Read full description

Quadrate is one home for everything you watch, read and listen to — films, TV, books and music, together at last. Most apps make you pick one. Keep your films in one place, your books in another, your albums somewhere else, and never see the whole picture. Quadrate is the whole picture. LOG IT, RATE IT, SAY WHAT YOU THOUGHT Rate anything in half-stars and write a review worth keeping. Mark what you own, and be honest about what you didn't finish. RATE AT THE LEVEL YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT Give a series one rating, or go season by season, or rate it episode by episode — whatever suits the show. Same with music: rate the album, or the songs on it. Pick your favourites and award your own gold, silver and bronze. PEOPLE, NOT ALGORITHMS Follow friends and see what they're watching and reading. React to their reviews, leave a comment, reply to a thread. Share any review as a link that unfurls properly wherever you paste it. LISTS, WATCHLISTS AND TAGS Build lists across every kind of media — keep them private, share them with friends, or publish them for everyone. Keep a watchlist for each medium, and tag things in your own words so you can find them again. YOUR YEAR IN NUMBERS See how much you've actually watched and read, a monthly calendar of everything you logged, your favourite directors, actors, authors and artists, your streaks and your rhythms — and how your ratings compare to everyone else's. A WEEKLY CHALLENGE Rank a curated set of titles against everyone else's picks. New one every week. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Import from Letterboxd, IMDb, Goodreads, Apple Music and Spotify, so you start with your years of history rather than an empty shelf. Quadrate is made by one person, and every part of it comes from actually using it. If something's missing, tell us — that's how most of this got built.
