Your TV diary, finally. CineIt is the simplest way to keep track of every show and movie you watch. Mark off episodes as you go, rate them as you finish, build a watchlist for what's next, and look back at your taste — season by season, year by year. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track shows and movies. One library for everything. Mark episodes watched and pick up exactly where you left off, even across years and devices. • Rate every episode. Half-star ratings, episode by episode. Watch your opinions develop over a whole series — not just a finale. • Build your watchlist. Save what's next in a tap. Long-press any title for quick actions; no digging through menus. • Cast and credits at a glance. Recognize that face you can't place — every show and movie shows its full cast. • Trending across TV and movies. Discover what's hot this week without leaving the app. • Sign in with Face ID. Quick, secure, on-device. • Beautifully designed. Bespoke animations, a dark-first aesthetic, and the kind of detail that makes opening the app feel good. WHY CINEIT We built CineIt because the apps that exist were either spreadsheets in app form or tried to do too much. Tracking what you watch should feel like keeping a journal: quick, satisfying, and yours. Free to download. No ads. No trackers. No paywalls. THIRD-PARTY DATA Show and movie information, posters, and cast details are provided by The Movie Database (TMDB). This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. QUESTIONS?

WHY CINEMA LOG ▸ Log a visit in seconds: the film, the theater, the date, the format, what the seat cost. ▸ Import your ticket history.

This week's releases sit on your home screen, one tap from a log. ▸ Rate and favorite what you watch, then build your Best Of for the year. ▸ Know whether your theater membership actually pays for itself. Track your membership or your own plan, and watch each visit count toward break-even. ▸ Track your spending: tickets, extras and concessions, by month, year or all time. ▸ Your Year in Film. Turn your logs into beautiful, shareable recap cards. ▸ Follow friends and see what they're watching and loving. ▸ See the numbers behind your movie year: genres, directors, formats, and how your taste adds up. ▸ Every kind of showing belongs here: opening night, festival premieres, early previews, secret screenings, and more. ▸ Use it on your phone and on the web.
