Letterboxd Alternatives
The Best Letterboxd Alternatives
Letterboxd is the gold standard for movie diaries — but it only does movies. The moment your habit includes the shows you're watching, the books you're reading, or the podcasts you're halfway through, you need something broader. Here's an honest rundown of the best Letterboxd alternatives, including where Logworm fits in.
1. Logworm — for people whose taste goes beyond movies
Logworm is a free iPhone app for logging movies, TV shows, books, and podcasts in one place.
- Cross-media logging in one place. Your film diary stays intact — and your shows, books, and podcasts join it, so your whole entertainment diet lives in a single library.
- Head-to-head taste ranking. Pit two titles against each other and pick your favorite — over time it builds a real ranking of your taste.
- Predicted scores from your own ratings. Based on how you've rated and ranked things, Logworm predicts how much you'll like something you haven't watched yet.
- The stuff you'd expect, too: diary-style logging with ratings and notes, a watch calendar and goals, XP and badges, people pages, and social discovery.
The honest caveat: if what you love most about Letterboxd is its film community and review culture, nothing fully replaces that. Logworm's edge is breadth and taste — one library for everything, ranked by what you actually love.
2. IMDb — the giant reference with tracking built in
Nearly everyone has used IMDb to look something up. Its watchlist and ratings work across movies and TV, and its database is the most comprehensive around. It's less of a personal diary and more of a reference site with tracking attached.
3. Trakt — for movies and TV with automatic scrobbling
Trakt tracks both movies and TV shows and can automatically scrobble what you watch from media centers like Plex and Jellyfin, with a calendar for upcoming episodes. More of a power-user dashboard than a diary, and it doesn't cover books or podcasts.
4. Serializd — the TV-side diary
Often called "Letterboxd for TV," Serializd is a social diary for rating and reviewing TV episodes, seasons, and series, with lists and watch stats. A natural companion if your Letterboxd covers films and you want the same ritual for shows — but it's TV only.
5. Goodreads — for the book half of your habit
If your reading life is as tracked as your viewing life, Goodreads remains the standard book-logging community. Books only, though.
6. Dedicated TV tracking apps
A handful of smaller apps focus on episode tracking and watchlists (search the App Store for "TV show tracker"). Good lightweight replacements if all you want is a check-off list for shows — but most don't combine shows with movies, books, and podcasts, or offer taste ranking and predicted scores.
