Movie tracking
Movies A movie tracker that remembers every film you watch
Catalogie is a free movie tracker for the films you have seen, the ones you are part-way through, and the ones you keep meaning to get to. Log a watch with the date it happened, rate it the way you actually think about scores, count your rewatches, and keep a film diary that holds up years later.

Your film diary, kept properly
Most people track movies twice and then stop. A notes app that turns into a wall of titles, a spreadsheet nobody opens after February, or a streaming service's history that quietly forgets everything you watched somewhere else. The record you actually want - what you saw, when you saw it, and what you made of it - never survives.
Catalogie keeps that record. Every film you mark as watched is stored with the date you watched it, so your history is a timeline rather than an unordered pile. Watch something twice and it counts as two watches, not one, with each date kept separately. Years later the diary still reads correctly, because it was never guessing.
And it sits in the same library as your TV series, games and books. One search box, one dashboard, one place your whole media life is recorded - instead of a film tracker over here and a reading list over there.
What you can track
Watched, watching, watchlist
Three honest states. Mark a film watched the moment the credits roll, park the one you fell asleep during, and keep the rest in a watchlist you can actually filter instead of scroll.
Real watch dates
Every watch records the day it happened, backdated as far as you like with a date picker that jumps by month or year - or, when you only know roughly, a period such as "last summer". Your diary reads as a timeline, not a list in the order you happened to type it.
Rewatches, counted
Watch it again and Catalogie logs a second watch rather than overwriting the first. Comfort rewatches build a count you can see, each with its own date.
Rate it your way
Five stars with halves, or a ten-point scale - set separately for movies, so a scale that suits films does not have to suit books. Change your mind and rerate any time.
IMDb and the Catalogie community, side by side
Every film shows its IMDb score next to what Catalogie members rated it, so you get the broad consensus and the one from people tracking the same way you do.
Favourites, and where you saw it
Heart the films that matter, and note where you watched each one - the cinema, a streaming service, a disc. Rather not be asked? One switch in Settings skips the question.
A release calendar
Upcoming films land in a calendar alongside your series and games, so the thing you have been waiting for does not come out without you hearing about it.
A quick look, or the whole page
Press any poster for a quick view - summary, genres, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores and the trailer - or open the full page for cast, studio and a row of similar films.
Stats that are actually about you
Films watched and hours spent, this month, this year and all time. Your genre fingerprint, your rating curve, your logging streak, and a Yearly Wrap for any year you pick.
How it works
- Stage 01
Find the film
Search a catalogue of over 1.2 million films, with metadata and artwork from TheTVDB. Add it to your library in one tap.
- Stage 02
Log the watch
Mark it watched and set the date - today, or the Tuesday in 2019 when you actually saw it. Rate it, write a review, or leave both for later.
- Stage 03
Watch the picture build
Every log feeds the dashboard. After a month you have a diary; after a year you have a genuinely interesting record of your own taste.
Bring your watch history with you
Starting from an empty library is the reason most tracker switches fail. Catalogie imports the history you already have, so day one looks like year three.
- Import your IMDb ratings export, your TV Time export, or a Trakt-style watch-history CSV - films keep their original watch dates
- You tell us which app the file came from, so nothing is guessed from a file name
- See every row before anything is saved - what will be added, what matched the wrong title and what could not be placed - and overrule any of it
- Letterboxd import is written, and switches on once a real export has been tested end to end
- Large imports keep running after you close the tab, and we email you when they finish
Movie tracking questions
- Is the movie tracker free?
- Yes - Catalogie is free to use, forever. Every feature is unlocked for everyone, with no credit card, no trial clock and no expiry. There is no premium tier holding movie tracking behind a paywall.
- Can I log a film I watched years ago?
- Yes. Every watch carries its own date, and you can backdate it as far as you like - the date picker jumps by month or year so getting to 2014 takes a couple of taps rather than a hundred. Imported history keeps its original dates too.
- Does it count rewatches?
- It does. Marking a film watched again adds a second watch with its own date rather than overwriting the first, so your rewatch count is a real number and your diary shows every viewing.
- Can I import my movies from IMDb, Trakt or TV Time?
- Yes. Import your IMDb ratings export, a TV Time export, or a Trakt-style watch-history CSV, and films keep the dates you watched them. Before anything is saved you see every row - what will be added, what matched the wrong film, what could not be placed - and can overrule any of it. Letterboxd import is written and switches on once a real export has been tested end to end.
- How do ratings work?
- Choose five stars with halves or a ten-point scale, and set it separately for movies - the scale that suits films does not have to suit books. Each film also shows its IMDb score next to the average from Catalogie members.
- Is my watch history private?
- Private by default. You choose what to share, and movies have their own sharing toggle - so you can make your film diary public while keeping your reading list to yourself, or share nothing at all.
- Does it track anything besides movies?
- Yes, and that is rather the point. TV series, video games and books live in the same library and the same dashboard, so you do not need a second app for the show you are three seasons into or the book on your nightstand.
- Is there a mobile app for tracking movies?
- The web app works in any mobile browser and installs to your home screen - open it and choose "Add to Home Screen" for a full-screen, app-like experience. Native iOS and Android apps are coming, with the same catalog and account.
