Binge Queue โ€” Your Personal Watch Library Binge Queue is a personal tracking and journaling app for the movies and TV shows in your life. Everything in the app is built around your data โ€” your logs, your ratings, your collections, and your viewing history. Your Watch Journal Log every title you watch with a date, where you watched it (at home, in a theater, or on a trip), who you were with, and your personal notes. Your journal is entirely yours โ€” every entry is created and owned by you, stored privately on your device. Your Ratings & Reviews Rate any title 1โ€“5 stars and write a personal note about what you thought. See your full rating history, average score, and distribution in your personal Stats view. Your Collections Organize titles into custom lists with any name and emoji you choose "Pizza Night Picks," "Flight Movies," "Books I Want to Watch," or anything else. Build your library your way. Your Tags Create personal tags with custom names and emojis to label titles however makes sense to you โ€” mood, occasion, who to watch it with. Your tags are unique to you and can be applied to any title. Your Episode Tracker Track exactly which episodes you've watched, season by season, for any TV show. Your progress is stored privately and syncs across your library. Year in Review At the end of every year, see a summary of everything you logged โ€” how many titles, which months were busiest, your favorite venue, and the people you watched with. Generate a shareable summary card to send to friends. Viewing Goals Set a personal target for how many movies and TV shows you want to watch each year. Animated progress rings track your pace against your goals, powered by your journal. Recommendation Inbox Log recommendations from friends so you never forget who told you about something. Track whether you've watched it, add their note, and see the full history of what people have suggested to you. Watch Reminders Set a local notification reminder for any title so your device reminds you when it's time to watch โ€” even when the app is closed. Library Backup Export your entire library โ€” journal, ratings, collections, tags, watchlist, and episode progress โ€” as a file you control. Restore it anytime, on any device. iOS Integration Titles you save are indexed in iOS Spotlight, so you can find anything in your library directly from the home screen without opening the app. Discovery Tools Search and browse a comprehensive movie and TV database to find new titles to add to your library. Filter by genre, decade, streaming service, runtime, rating, and more. See which of your streaming subscriptions carry a title and where else it's available. AI Critic Get an AI-generated consensus review for any title โ€” a score, a TL;DR, and a breakdown of what works and what doesn't. Add your own API key for OpenAI or Anthropic, or use the built-in fallback. Privacy: All your personal data โ€” journal entries, ratings, collections, tags, and goals โ€” is stored privately on your device and never uploaded to any server.
