Helpful details like year, genre, and runtime appear right on the row, so choosing something is quick. YOU See your taste take shape as your diary grows: rating patterns, top genres, favorite eras, recurring directors and creators, watch activity, and a personal taste summary.

IMPORT AND EXPORT Bring in an existing compatible diary export, or export your cinefill data whenever you want a copy. PRIVACY cinefill is local-first. Your diary, ratings, notes, and watchlist live on your device by default. There are no required accounts and no analytics.
