Your films lived in one app. Your books in another. Your shows scattered everywhere else. The Ledger keeps all of it — one archive for your entire cultural life, with the depth each medium deserves. The Ledger is a personal record of every movie, show, and book you experience: scored your way, ranked against the world, and remembered forever. And it's free. — ONE LIBRARY, EVERY MEDIUM — • Movies: log it the second the credits roll. Rate from 1 to 10 (not five blunt stars), write the review only you would write, and track every rewatch. • Shows: track the shows you're watching right alongside your films, then rate and review them on the same scale. • Books: the books you're reading belong on the same shelf. Track what you're reading now, mark what you've finished, and rate it on the same scale as everything else. — THE TROPHY ROOM — Watching is the game; this is the scoreboard. Every film logged, season finished, and review written earns XP. Climb 14 ranks from Newcomer to Legend, hold your place on the live friends leaderboard, and chase deliberate challenges that take you deeper into the app. Rewards are cosmetic and social — never pay-to-win, never a chore. — CATCH UP IN A SWIPE — Coming from another app? Don't type it all in. The Catch-Up deck hands you title after title — swipe to log, rate, or skip — and fills a lifetime of watching in minutes. — BETTER WITH AN AUDIENCE — Follow friends, watch a live activity feed, and react and comment on their takes. Taste is a conversation. — A PORTRAIT OF YOUR TASTE — Genres, decades, runtime, rating distribution, watch streaks — your stats read like a profile of who you are, not a spreadsheet. — YOUR DATA IS YOURS — Export your whole library to CSV, clear it anytime, or delete your account entirely from inside the app. Start your ledger — and keep the record of every story you've ever lived.
