MovlyHub
Read full descriptionHide full description
MovlyHub is where you track everything you watch and play — films, series and video games — in a single account. Unlike a passive library, MovlyHub turns discovery into something you actually do. — BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU — Moving from another tracker? Import your watch history, lists and ratings from TV Time, Trakt, Letterboxd, IMDb, JustWatch or a CSV file. Nothing gets left behind. — RATE EVERY EPISODE — Give any episode its own score and review. Series ratings and episode ratings are independent, so you can see exactly how a show holds up season by season. — NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE — Up Next always knows the exact episode you're on. A personal calendar shows when the next one airs, and a notification tells you the day it lands. — FILMS, SHOWS + GAMES, ONE ACCOUNT — Switch between the "Movies & TV" realm and the "Games" realm with a single tap. Lists, friends, comments, notifications and stats stay separate for each realm. — DAILY POSTER PUZZLE — Guess the film or game from a pixelated poster. Each wrong guess reveals more detail; correct guesses earn points. Public leaderboard, daily streak and an optional hint system. Playable without an account. — "WHAT SHOULD I WATCH / PLAY?" WIZARD — A three-step, mood-based recommender: choose a genre, add titles you already like, and get a personalised grid. No sign-up required. — SOCIAL TIMELINE — See what your friends are watching and playing. Write reviews, rate, and share lists. Notifications are filtered by active realm, so game sessions aren't interrupted by movie activity. — YEAR IN REVIEW — A personalised end-of-year report covering both films and games: favourite genres, monthly breakdown and viewing streaks. — DIARY / WATCHLIST / FAVOURITES — Log what you watched or played each day, build watchlists, and revisit your calendar. — FRIENDS + TASTE MATCH — Suggested friends, an "Active This Week" list, and a taste-compatibility score. — ALSO INCLUDED — • Search and detail pages for films, shows and games • Streaming availability by region • Trailers and videos • Reviews, ratings and custom lists • Seven languages: EN, TR, DE, ES, FR, PT, RU • Dark and light themes • Push notifications and badges • Weather widget and daily recommendation cards MovlyHub has been live on the web at movlyhub.com since 2026 with active monthly users. The iOS app is the native mobile extension of that established service.
