Dual Library Architecture & Precision Filtering

Movies and TV Series are treated with distinct lifecycle models. Whether sorting by release year, filtering 68 completed series, or executing real-time queries against TMDB, your catalog stays organized and instantaneous.

Categorized Cinema & Series Separation

Unlike apps that mix one-off films with 100-episode sagas, Watchlog maintains specialized indices. The Movies tab (525 entries) features year chips (2026..2021) and multi-factor sorting (Title, Release year, Recently watched, Length, Rating).

✓
Release Year Chips: Tap any year pill (e.g. 2024 with 22 titles) for instant offline filtering without re-querying network APIs.
✓
Series Status Machine: Track shows across states: Continuing, Up to date, Stopped, and Finished.
✓
Live TMDB Search: Typeahead queries backed by an edge-cached proxy for 1-tap additions with full metadata.

Smart Watchlist & Drag-and-Drop Priority Queue

Never lose track of where you paused. Watchlog combines an automated "Continue Watching" hub with a reorderable "To Watch" queue.

Your current series appear at the top of the WatchList tab with live percentage progress bars (e.g. Mushi-Shi S1E15 30%, The Office S2E9 7%, Black Mirror S4E3 60%) and a 1-tap quick checkoff circle. Below, your planned cinema queue can be reordered with interactive up/down arrows.

Rich Media Details & The Zero-Spoiler Shield

Full-page media detail views with high-definition backdrops, embedded trailers, multi-source critic ratings, cast filmographies, and an automated spoiler protection engine.

Aspect Ratio Consideration: Long Scrolling Captures

Media detail views and series checklists are tall scrolling pages (up to 3.3:1 ratio). In Watchlog, they present everything from video trailers and multi-source ratings to cast photos and personal journal notes in one seamless flow. Scroll inside the phone frames below to experience the entire layout!

The Active Spoiler Shield

Nothing ruins cinema like an episode still or synopsis revealing a character's death or plot twist. Watchlog implements an intelligent Spoiler Shield: unwatched episodes automatically blur thumbnails and obscure sensitive synopsis details until you explicitly tap or mark the episode as watched.

🛡️
Blurred Episode Stills: High-res episode captures are rendered with a blur filter and an eye-slash icon until watched.
🛡️
Configurable Security: Choose between Hide Unwatched, Hide All, or Always Show in Settings.
⭐
Per-Episode Ratings: Rate individual standout episodes (like Black Mirror USS Callister: ★ 4.0) with exact dates.
