I Like Movies

Everything you have watched.
Everything you are going to.

The movie and TV tracker that helps you decide what to watch.

I Like Movies is a free movie and TV app for iPhone and Android 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

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

Browse your streaming providers in one place.

You already pay for the services. The hard part is finding what is worth watching on them. Choose the services you pay for and see the best films and series on each one, in your country, sorted by IMDb rating.

  • Pick your services once, then browse the best films and series on each
  • Sort by IMDb rating, popularity or release date, and filter by genre
  • Hide what you have already watched, so the list is only new to you

Shared watchlists 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.

  • See every watchlist in your home and switch between them in one tap
  • Add a film on your phone and they can see it before you sit down
  • A shared collection, a household chat, and assistant picks for everyone at home

Everything else: tracking, lists, stats and imports.

Import from Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt or TV Time

Ratings, watch history and watchlist come across, with every episode from Trakt and a saved TV Time export. You see it all first, and an import can be undone within a day.

Streaming alerts

Get a push when a title on your watchlist arrives on one of your streaming providers, and another when it leaves.

Episode tracking and alerts

Mark episodes as you watch and see how far into a season you are. Get a push for new episodes of the shows you are watching, and a heads-up before a new season starts.

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.

Ratings and notes

Rate out of five stars and keep a note on anything, including rewatches. Share a note with your friends in their feed, or keep it just for you.

Lists, solo or shared

Build lists for a marathon, a genre or an evening, on your own or with friends who add, remove and reorder titles with you.

Your profile and stats

Your profile pins your top four and breaks your history down by country. The stats page adds this year's count, your rating spread and the decades, genres, directors and actors you return to most.

No ads, ever

No advertising, no sponsored rows, no engagement feed. The recommendations answer to you.

A new theme every Friday

Every Friday a new themed collection of 21 films lands in Discover, with an archive of every week before it.

Switching from Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt, TV Time or Simkl?

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 go to your friends or stay just for you, 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 data from Trakt (Settings, then Data, then Export now), which downloads a .zip, and upload it under Imports. Ratings, watched films, your episode history, your watchlist and your lists come across together. It is a one-time copy, not a sync, and season and episode ratings stay behind.

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

TV Time closed on 15 July 2026. If you saved your data export before then, upload the .zip under Imports: watched episodes, watched films, film ratings, your film watchlist and your lists come across. Without an export, series progress is set as you go, and marking a season watched takes a tap.

What is different here

TV Time was focused on episode tracking and reminders for series. Episodes are tracked one at a time here too, 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.

Coming from Simkl

Bringing your history

There is no Simkl import. Imports read Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt and TV Time exports, and a Simkl export is none of them, so a Simkl library starts fresh here. History that also lives on Letterboxd, IMDb or Trakt comes across from those exports, and marking a season watched takes a tap.

What is different here

Simkl is strong on anime and can auto-track from browser extensions. This is a phone app with no extensions to install: anime is carried as ordinary TV and films in one library, discovery comes first, there is no advertising, and a household shares a single library.

Coming from Serializd

Bringing your history

There is no Serializd import. Imports read Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt and TV Time exports, and a Serializd export is none of them, so a TV library starts fresh here. Mark the seasons you are mid-way through, usually a short list, and the rest fills in as you go.

What is different here

Serializd is built around public TV reviews. Here notes go to friends, not strangers, films and TV sit in one library rather than TV alone, an AI assistant helps you decide what is next, and a household can see each other’s watchlists.

Frequently asked questions

What is I Like Movies?

I Like Movies is a free movie and TV app for iPhone and Android 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.

You rate what you watch, and both the monthly Discover collections and the chat assistant work from that history, so the suggestions are drawn from your own taste rather than a general popularity chart.

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 iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play.

Your library is stored on the server rather than on the handset, so you can sign in on either platform, or on a new phone, and find everything already there.

Is there an iPhone version of I Like Movies?

Yes. I Like Movies is on the App Store for iPhone. It is the same app as on Android, free and without ads.

Your library lives on the server, so an account started on Android is already there when you sign in on an iPhone, and the other way around.

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: everyone in it can see each other’s watchlists, and the household shares one collection of the titles you own and a group chat.

For one list you both add to, create a shared list and invite each other: a film either of you adds is on it for both, without sending anything. 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, IMDb, Trakt or TV Time in a few taps.
