Movary is a free and open source web application for tracking, rating, and exploring your personal movie watch history. It focuses on owning your data while providing rich insights, imports/exports, and automated tracking integrations.

Key Features

  • Personal movie watch history with ratings and management tools
  • Detailed statistics (for example most watched actors, directors, genres, languages, and years)
  • Dashboard customization (layout preferences and date formats)
  • Import/export integrations for services such as Trakt, Letterboxd, and Netflix
  • Scrobbling support to automatically record plays/ratings from Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi
  • User management and privacy controls, including data export/import/deletion
  • Locally stored movie metadata sourced from providers such as TMDB and IMDb
  • Progressive Web App (PWA) support for an app-like mobile experience

Use Cases

  • Maintain a private Letterboxd-like movie diary you fully control
  • Automatically log what you watch on your home media server and analyze viewing trends
  • Consolidate watch history from multiple platforms into a single personal hub

Limitations and Considerations

  • The project is described as experimental (though usable) and may introduce breaking changes before a 1.0 release

Movary works well for individuals or households that want a centralized, privacy-friendly record of movie watching. With its statistics and integrations, it can serve as a long-term personal archive and discovery companion.
