Films Shelf vs Scenico

Films Shelf is a personal films shelf — a warm, low-friction place to put the movies you keep meaning to watch, and a calm way to choose one when Friday night comes around. THE FOUR JOBS • Save — A film catches your attention. Tap, add. The shelf builds itself over weeks and months. • Remember — Each entry holds onto what the film is: poster, description, year, runtime. Your shelf never decays into a wall of forgotten titles. • Choose — Browse the shelf or, with Premium, tap Shuffle for a one-at-a-time proposal. Reroll until something feels right. • Reminisce — Watched films stay on the shelf as a quiet record of what you've seen and when. A SHELF, NOT A DATABASE Films Shelf is built around a single guiding test: does this feel more like a shelf than a database? Warmth over completeness. Context over metadata. Earned archive over managed catalog. PREMIUM Premium adds: • Ad-free experience • Partner sharing — invite one partner to share your shelf. Both of you can add, mark watched, and remove films. The shelf updates on both phones. • In-app trailer playback • Shuffle — surface a one-at-a-time film suggestion from your shelf Premium is $4.99/month or $29.99/year. New users get 30 days of Premium free. Cancel anytime. PRIVACY Films Shelf has no first-party servers. Your shelf lives in your iCloud, not on our infrastructure.
