One library, films and TV
Films and TV are tracked in one place, with a single history and a single watchlist, rather than two apps fighting over your evening.
Everything you have watched.
Everything you are going to.
I Like Movies is a free movie and TV tracking app for Android and iOS with an AI assistant that helps you discover what to watch next, share one library with the people you live with, and keep a record of everything you have seen.
- Free to use
- No advertising
- Import from Letterboxd or IMDb
Stop scrolling. Start watching.
The hard part was never finding a film. It is deciding on one before the evening is gone. I Like Movies reads what you actually finish and builds the shortlist from there.
- AI collections drawn from your own ratings, rebuilt every month
- Curated tracks for franchises and long-running series, in watch order
- See exactly where a title is streaming in your country before you commit
Describe the night. Get the film.
Search needs a title. Conversation does not. Ask for something short and funny for a Tuesday, or the one with the submarine and the cook, and the AI assistant comes back with real titles you can stream tonight.
- Ask in plain language, by mood, plot fragment, or half-remembered scene
- Answers know your history, so nothing you have already seen comes back
- Send a voice message or a photo of a list and it reads the titles for you
Your friends have better taste than an algorithm.
The best recommendation you ever got came from a person, not a homepage row. Follow the people whose taste you trust, see what they are watching, and take what looks good.
- Follow friends and see what they are watching and rating right now
- Compare taste to find where you overlap and where you never will
- Share any title straight into a chat, and it opens in their app
One shared watchlist for the whole sofa.
Two people, two watchlists, and a half-finished series nobody can agree on. A household puts everyone you live with on one library, so what you add, they see.
- A household shares one watchlist and one watched history
- Add a film on your phone and it is on theirs before you sit down
- No more working out which of you saved the film worth watching
Everything else: tracking, lists, stats and imports.
Episode tracking
Mark individual episodes, see how far into a season you are, and get told when a series has actually ended.
Ratings and private notes
Rate out of five stars and keep a note on anything, including rewatches. The note is yours, not a public review.
Streaming availability
See which services carry a title in your country, checked per region rather than assumed from a US catalogue.
Your own lists
Build lists for a marathon, a genre, a director, or an evening. No fixed categories to fight against.
Import your history
A Letterboxd .zip export or an IMDb .csv export uploads directly, ratings and watchlist included.
Your viewing profile
Your profile totals the hours you have watched and your average rating, works out your top genres, breaks your history down by the country a film came from, and pins your top four films.
No ads, ever
No advertising, no sponsored rows, no engagement feed. The recommendations answer to you.
Everywhere you sign in
Your library lives on the server, not the handset, so it follows you to a new phone without an export.
Switching from Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt or TV Time?
Every movie tracker is built for a different job, and the good ones are genuinely good. Here is how your library moves across, and what changes once it gets here.
Coming from Letterboxd
Bringing your history
Request your data export, which arrives as a .zip, and upload it under Imports. Ratings, watched films and your watchlist come across together.
What is different here
Letterboxd is built around public reviews and film criticism as a social activity. Here your notes are private by default, TV series are tracked alongside films at episode level, streaming availability is shown for your country, an AI assistant answers in plain language, and the people you live with can share a single library.
Coming from IMDb
Bringing your history
Export your ratings or your watchlist from IMDb as a .csv and upload it under Imports. The app works out which kind of list the file is on its own.
What is different here
IMDb is a reference database with a watchlist attached, and it is still the best place to look up who directed what. This is built for the other half of the problem: choosing something tonight and keeping the record afterwards, with recommendations drawn from your own ratings, streaming availability for your country, and a library your household shares.
Coming from Trakt
Bringing your history
Export your ratings or lists as a .csv and upload them under Imports, or start fresh, since most of a Trakt history rebuilds itself as you use the app.
What is different here
Trakt is built around automatic scrobbling from media servers and players, and it is very good at that. This is a phone app with nothing to install alongside it, aimed at the moment before you press play rather than the record of having pressed it.
Coming from TV Time
Bringing your history
There is no direct export path from TV Time, so series progress is set as you go. Marking a season watched takes a tap.
What is different here
TV Time is focused on episode tracking and reminders for series. Here films and TV sit in one library rather than being two separate concerns, discovery comes first, there is no advertising, and a household shares a single library instead of everyone keeping their own.
Frequently asked questions
Is I Like Movies free?
Yes. I Like Movies is free to download and free to use, with no advertising and no sponsored recommendations.
There is no trial period that expires, and the recommendations are generated from your own ratings and viewing history rather than from anything a studio or streaming service has paid to promote.
Does I Like Movies use AI to recommend movies?
Yes, in two places. The Discover tab builds collections for you each month using an AI model that reads your ratings, your most-watched genre and the director or actor you return to most, and the in-app assistant answers requests for something to watch in plain language.
The AI works from your own viewing history rather than from a general popularity chart, which is why the suggestions change as your ratings do. It also knows what you have already seen, so a film you have watched does not come back around.
Everything else in the app is ordinary software. Your ratings, lists, watch history and streaming availability are recorded and looked up directly, not guessed at.
Which platforms does I Like Movies run on?
I Like Movies is available for Android on Google Play. An iOS version for iPhone is in development and is not on the App Store yet.
Your library is stored on the server rather than on the handset, so when the iOS version arrives you will sign in to the same account and find everything already there. The same is true if you replace your Android phone.
Can I import my Letterboxd history into I Like Movies?
Yes. Request a data export from Letterboxd, which arrives as a .zip file, then upload that file in the app under Imports.
Your ratings, watched films and watchlist are read from the export and matched against the film database, so a library built over years transfers in a few taps rather than being retyped. Nothing is sent back to Letterboxd and your account there is unaffected.
Can I import my IMDb ratings and watchlist?
Yes. Export your ratings or a list from IMDb as a .csv file and upload it in the app under Imports.
The app works out on its own whether the file is a watchlist or a custom list, and asks you only when the file itself is ambiguous, because IMDb does not record a list name inside the export. Ratings come across with the titles, so your scores are preserved rather than reset.
Can two people share one watchlist?
Yes. A household in I Like Movies is a shared library for the people you live with, and everyone in it sees the same watchlist and the same watched history.
A film added by one person shows up for everyone without being sent or shared manually. It is built for the case where two people keep separate lists and then cannot remember which of them had the film worth watching.
Can I follow friends and see what they are watching?
Yes. You can follow other people using the app and see what they are watching, what they have rated, and what they have added to their lists.
Comparing taste with someone shows where your histories overlap, which is usually a faster route to a good recommendation than any algorithm manages.
Following someone is separate from a household. Friends keep their own libraries; a household shares one.
Does I Like Movies track TV shows and individual episodes?
Yes. TV series are tracked at episode level, so the app records exactly which episodes you have watched and how far into a season you are.
Films and series live in the same library rather than in separate sections, which means a single history covers both. The app also distinguishes a series that has ended from one that is between seasons, so a finished show stops behaving like something you are behind on.
Does I Like Movies show where a movie is streaming?
Yes. Each title lists the streaming services that carry it in your country.
Availability is resolved for your region rather than taken from a single global catalogue, which matters because the same film sits on different services in different countries and often on none. Checking before you commit is the difference between starting a film and spending twenty minutes finding out you cannot.
What is the assistant in I Like Movies?
It is an AI chat you can ask for recommendations in your own words, by mood, by a fragment of a plot, or by naming a film you liked.
It reads your watch history, so it does not suggest something you have already seen, and it answers with titles that are actually available in your region.
You can also send it a voice message, or a photo of a list of titles, and it will read them.
Does I Like Movies work offline?
No. I Like Movies needs an internet connection.
Your library syncs across your devices and your household, and film data including streaming availability is fetched live rather than bundled into the app. There is no offline mode and no local-only library.
Your next film is already on the list.
Free to download, free to use, and your library imports from Letterboxd or IMDb in a few taps.
