Ways to Add a Title
There are three ways to get a movie or TV show onto your watchlist:
- Share a link — from any streaming app (Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, and more) or your browser, tap Share and choose Add To Watchlist. The app reads the title and automatically fetches metadata, posters, and ratings.
- Share a screenshot — take a screenshot from any video app and share it to Add To Watchlist. The app identifies the title in the image and saves it for you.
- Search in the app — use the Search tab to look up movies and TV shows by title. Results come from TMDb with posters, release years, and overviews. Tap any result to add it.
Watch Status
Every saved item has a status, set from the status picker on the detail screen. The main list is your Watchlist.
- Watchlist — titles you plan to watch
- Watching — titles you're currently watching
- Finished — titles you've completed, with a timestamp of when you marked them finished
- Dropped — titles you've stopped watching. Set it from the "···" overflow in the status picker, and find dropped titles again with the Dropped filter.
Sort & Filter
Tap the filter button above your watchlist to change how it's sorted and which titles are shown.
Sort by:
- Date Added (Newest or Oldest)
- Title (A → Z)
- Score (High → Low or Low → High)
- Priority, then Date
- Date Finished (Newest or Oldest) — for Finished and Dropped titles
Filter by: media type (Movies or TV), genre, and whether to show Dropped titles.
Priority
Flag any title as High or Low priority to keep the things you care about most near the top. Priority feeds the default "Priority, then Date" sort on your Watchlist and Watching lists.
Recommendations
Tap the sparkle button on your watchlist for personalized suggestions based on what you've already saved. Recommendations load instantly — tap any suggestion to see its details or add it to your watchlist.
Trailer Button
When a trailer is available (sourced from MDBList/YouTube), a "Watch Trailer" button appears on the detail screen. Tapping it opens the trailer in YouTube or your browser.
Pro Subscription
Pro unlocks the features that help you never miss a moment:
- Where to Watch — see exactly which streaming services carry each title (see below)
- Leaving Soon alerts — get notified when a saved title is about to leave a streaming service

Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
Where to Watch Pro
The "Where to Watch" section on the detail screen shows which streaming services carry a title, including subscription, rental, and purchase options with pricing. This data comes from Movie of the Night, TMDB/JustWatch, and MDBList, and lists subscription and free services first. Tap a service to open its app or website directly. This is a Pro feature.
Delete Account
You can delete your account from the Profile tab. This permanently removes your account, watchlist, and all associated data from our servers. This action cannot be undone.
