FlickLists is the easiest way to keep your own watchlist AND figure out what to watch with the people you actually watch with - your partner, your roommates, the whole group chat. Track movies and shows, remember who watched what, and never argue about what to put on again. Most watchlist apps are built for one person. FlickLists is built around people. Create a list for each person you watch with, and the app instantly shows what you can all watch together - so movie night picks itself. ==== Your own watchlist, done right ==== - Track every movie and show you want to watch, with real posters and details - Up Next brings together shows in progress, new episodes, and movies to watch tonight - Per-episode tracking: tick off episodes, see how many are left, and spot season premieres and finales coming up - Specials and holiday episodes get their own section and progress, and never throw off your place in a show - Rate what you've seen, add your own notes, and keep a personal history of everything you've watched - Filter by runtime, media type, and maturity rating; sort by your ratings, everyone's average, or TMDB score ==== Watch together, decided ==== - Add the people you watch with and group them however you like - Date Night, The Crew, Family - Instantly see what everyone has in common - the overlap of your watchlists, ready to play - "Can't Decide?" picks something for the group when nobody can choose - Manage who wants a title in one sheet, and catch someone up to where you are when they join a show - Track a series together - the app picks the next episode nobody has missed - Record who watched what and keep a shared history with each person FlickLists isn't a social network - no friend requests, no connections. The people you watch with are lists you create yourself, kept privately on your device. ==== Find your next obsession ==== - One search for everything - or just describe what you want, like "a comedy under 2 hours Sam and I both want" - Tap any actor, director, or writer for their biography and filmography, or search by who's in it - Discover trending, popular, and upcoming movies and shows, powered by The Movie Database - See where to watch - streaming, rent, and buy options for your region - Watch trailers and extras right in the app, in a clean native player ==== Just ask ==== - Ask Siri "What should I watch with Dad in FlickLists?" and get the picks you share - Ask FlickLists for something to watch, hear what's up next, mark something watched, or add to your watchlist - it always asks before changing anything - Find the titles on your lists right from Spotlight - Keep Up Next on your Home Screen with the new widget ==== Free, forever ==== FlickLists is completely free. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No account required. Connecting Trakt to import and sync your history is optional - you never have to sign in to use the app. ==== Private by design ==== Your watchlists, people, and history live on your device and sync across your own devices through your private iCloud account (and with your own Trakt account, if you connect it). FlickLists reads your searches and Siri requests on your device, never with a cloud AI service. The developer has no servers and never sees your data. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection - ever. ==== Built for the Apple ecosystem ==== Native SwiftUI on iPhone, iPhone Duo, and iPad, with iCloud sync, a Liquid Glass design, layouts made for every screen, and full support for Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver. Available in English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Spanish. Movie and show data and images are provided by The Movie Database (TMDB). This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Where-to-watch data is provided by JustWatch.
