How to use
How Movie Diary works
Movie Diary helps you keep track of what you watch, what you want to watch, what you thought about it, and how your taste develops over time.
The simple flow
Find a movie or show, choose whether it belongs in your diary or watchlist, add your rating, write notes if you want, and keep building your personal movie profile.
Step 1
Browse or search
Start from the home page to discover movies and TV shows. You can search by title, filter by type, genre or rating, and sort results by popularity, rating, release date or title.
Step 2
Add watched titles to your diary
When you have watched a movie or show, save it to your diary. Your diary becomes your personal watching history.
Step 3
Track TV progress
For TV shows, you can save your current season and episode so you always know where you left off.
Step 4
Save titles for later
If you have not watched something yet, add it to your watchlist. You can move it to your diary later when you watch it.
Step 5
Rate what you watch
Rate movies and shows from 1 to 10. Your personal rating is separate from the public TMDB rating.
Step 6
Write notes
Save personal notes for movies, shows and specific TV episodes. You can add moods, mark favorite episodes and remember who you watched with.
Step 7
Comment and discuss
Share your thoughts on titles and join discussions. If your comment reveals important plot details, mark it as a spoiler.
Step 8
Connect with friends
Add friends and see their activity when their privacy settings allow it. This makes it easier to discover what people you know are watching.
Step 9
Unlock achievements
Earn achievements as you use Movie Diary, such as logging titles, rating movies, watching genres, adding notes and building your profile.
Quick tips
Diary vs watchlist
Use your diary for things you have watched. Use your watchlist for things you want to watch later.
Your rating vs TMDB rating
Your rating is your own score. TMDB rating is the public movie database score shown for reference.
Notes are personal
Use notes to remember thoughts, moods, favorite episodes or who you watched something with.
Spoilers matter
Mark comments as spoilers when they reveal important plot details, endings or surprises.
Be respectful
Movie Diary works best when people share thoughts respectfully. Do not harass users, spam, post illegal content, impersonate others or intentionally ruin titles with unmarked spoilers.
