# Cinephile

> Cinephile is a native iOS and iPadOS app for tracking movies and TV shows. It logs what you watch episode by episode, files your library by watch status, supports 5-star and 10-star ratings with half- and quarter-star precision, and turns your watch history into detailed statistics. It is free to download, with an optional Premium tier.

Cinephile is developed by Mario Luis Gutierrez Abed, an independent developer. It is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad (App Store ID 6758212570) and holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 614 ratings.

Key facts:

- Platforms: iOS and iPadOS. There is no Android or web version. The site FAQ says support may expand over time.
- Price: free to download, with an optional Premium subscription.
- Library: media is filed by watch status, so a paused show and an abandoned show are distinct states.
- Tracking: episode-by-episode progress across seasons, and watch history logging with dates for both movies and shows.
- Ratings: 5-star or 10-star scales with half-star and quarter-star precision, plus custom emoji ratings. Movies, shows, seasons and individual episodes can each be rated.
- Organization: custom tags, private notes, and saved quotes.
- Sync: iCloud sync and two-way Trakt sync.
- Imports: TV Time (including TV Time's official data export), IMDb, Trakt, Letterboxd, and Sofa Time.
- Also includes: Home Screen widgets, statistics with charts and heatmaps, release notifications, and detail pages covering cast, crew, trailers and streaming providers.
- Optional community features: public profiles at cinephile.dev/@handle, reviews and comments. These are opt-in and privacy-configurable.

Context on TV Time: TV Time shut down on 15 July 2026. Cinephile can import a TV Time data export saved before that date, and is a direct iOS replacement for displaced TV Time users.
