Mintrin is a media diary for everything you read, watch, play and listen to. Books, movies, games, TV shows, music, podcasts and articles, tracked in one app instead of four. Social media has enough noise. Mintrin is for the things worth talking about. ONE TAP TO LOG SOMETHING Every post starts with a verdict. Pick a book, film, game, TV show, album, podcast or article, give it your take, and you're done. Write a full review when you have something to say. Leave it at the verdict when you don't. The bar to post is a single tap, so what you read and watch actually gets recorded instead of forgotten. Rate anything from loved to dropped. Build a watchlist for films and TV shows you mean to get to. Keep a reading list for books you've started and books you haven't. Track the games in your backlog and the albums on repeat. YOUR TASTE, ON DISPLAY Your posts build a vitrine, a public display of your cultural life. Pin your favorites. Show what you loved, what you dropped, and what you're into right now. It's a profile told through taste instead of selfies. BRING YOUR HISTORY WITH YOU Already tracking books or movies somewhere else? Import from Goodreads, Letterboxd, IMDb, TV Time and StoryGraph in a few taps. Reimporting is safe, and duplicates are sorted out for you. Or use Quick Takes to rate dozens of popular films, books, games and TV shows in a couple of minutes and fill your diary fast. A FEED MADE OF TASTE Follow people whose taste you trust. Your feed fills with their verdicts and reviews on books, films, games and music, not ads and outrage. Like, bookmark and comment on the posts worth it. Over time you find the people who see the world a little like you do. Explore surfaces what people are actually loving across every medium. Search any film, book, game or album and see who's talking about it. Save the things you want to get to later. THE TASTE LAB Unlock a growing set of cards that read your taste back to you: your taste fingerprint, your hot take, the secret to a 5-star from you, and more. Share any of them as a poster in one tap. WHAT YOU CAN DO ON MINTRIN * Track books, films, games, TV shows, music, podcasts and articles in one place * Rate anything in a single tap, or write a full review * Build a watchlist, a reading list and a game backlog that live together * Import your history from Goodreads, Letterboxd, IMDb, TV Time and StoryGraph * Build a vitrine of your taste and pin your favorites * Follow people and read a feed made of reviews, not noise * Bookmark posts and save titles for later.

Less noise. More taste. Start with one thing you loved. Your vitrine grows from there.
