Stop forgetting the movies, shows, and games you wanted to check out. Every time someone mentions a movie that "you have to see," every time you scroll past a TV show that looks interesting, every time a video game catches your eye in a Discord chat — it gets lost. You'll remember it when you're standing in front of Netflix tonight, right? You won't. WatchPile is the simplest possible fix. One quick search, one tap, it's saved. The next time you've got a free evening, your list is right there. THREE LISTS, NONE OF THE FRICTION Movies, TV shows, and video games each get their own clean list. No tags, no folders, no pretending to be a productivity tool. Just stuff you want to watch and play, sorted newest-first, with everything you actually need to know: - Title and poster art - The year it came out - Content rating (PG-13, TV-MA, ESRB Mature, etc.) - Where it's streaming — Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and the rest - For games: which platforms it's on (PS5, Xbox, Switch, PC) A circle on each row marks something as watched or played. Tap it. Done. PASSWORDLESS LOGIN — NO ACCOUNT TO REMEMBER Sign in by typing your email. We send a 6-digit code. Type it in. You're in. Or use Sign in with Apple if you'd rather. There's no password to remember, no password to forget, no password to leak. Your library syncs to every device you sign in on. Switching phones won't lose anything. DELETE ANYTIME Your library belongs to you. One tap on Delete Account in Settings and it's all gone — every saved item, your account, every trace. No emails to write, no waiting period, no "we'll process your request in 30 days." It's gone the moment you confirm. WHO IT'S FOR People who: - Watch movies, TV, or play games at all regularly - Have a phone notes app full of "watch this!" reminders that never get watched - Want to know if something's available on services they already pay for before they go looking - Trust independent developers over surveillance-driven tracker apps Built by an indie developer. Free. No ads. No tracking. No analytics about how you use the app. We collect your email and your library — that's the entire list. Movie and TV data via TMDB and JustWatch. Game data via RAWG. WatchPile is not endorsed by or affiliated with any streaming service or game platform.
