Films and TV you've actually finished — without the critic energy.

Films and TV you've actually finished

Watch is a private log of the films and shows you've watched, with your rating and a one-line note. No followers. No "popular this week". No critic energy. Just your viewing history, written down so you remember.

What it solves

Letterboxd is great but social-first. Trakt is functional but data-soup. IMDb is the catalog, not a journal. People who want to log what they watched — without followers, lists, or hot takes — are stuck either with Letterboxd's social pressure or a spreadsheet that gets abandoned by March. Watch is the spreadsheet that doesn't get abandoned: title, year, rating, one line of memory. That's it.

What you see

The **dashboard** shows what you finished this year by month, the films and shows you're currently watching, and your highest-rated picks. **Films** and **TV** are separate views (different rhythms, different mindsets). The **stats** page breaks down your viewing by year, kind, and all-time top-rated. **Year pages** (`/year/2026`) collect everything you finished that year, grouped by month — your personal "year in film".

What it doesn't do

No TMDB auto-fill. No social graph. No public profile. No "people you may know". No "what's trending". Watch is manual entry by design — you type the title, you type your one line. Boring, fast, yours.

Built for a long-tail log

A 1–10 rating scale (cinephile-grade, not 1–5). Four kinds (film / TV / short / miniseries). Four statuses (to watch / watching / finished / abandoned). Optional director, watched-on date, where-you-watched. Per-row color picker. Markdown notes if you have more to say. Searchable, year-able, archive-friendly.

Features

Private by defaultNo followers. No likes. No public profile. The opposite of Letterboxd's social-first energy — Watch is just for you, the way a paper journal is.
Manual entry, fastTitle, year, kind, rating, one-line note. Twenty seconds to log a watch. No TMDB lookup latency, no auto-suggest distraction, no editing other people's metadata.
Year-in-watch dashboardFilms by month, currently watching, top-rated this year — your personal annual roll-up. Every January your dashboard becomes a fresh log.
Films and TV separatelyDifferent rhythms, different mindsets, different views. Click into either without seeing your half-watched cooking shows mixed with your festival picks.
Per-year deep-dive/year/2024 shows everything you finished that year, grouped by month. Becomes a personal archive you actually re-read.
Cinephile-grade rating1–10 scale, not 1–5. Director, watched-on date, where-you-watched (theater — IMAX 70mm vs Netflix), markdown notes if you want them.
