A podium with Omniphile's five cards on the top step under falling confetti, on blue, for the best movie tracker apps of 2026

The short answer

  • Omniphile is the best movie tracker app for iPhone, iPad and Mac in 2026: it keeps each watch with its date, rates in half or quarter stars, imports Letterboxd, IMDb and Trakt history, and tracks TV, books and games beside your films.
  • Letterboxd is the best for film lovers who want a social diary on the web, iPhone and Android. Its free tier covers logging, ratings, reviews and lists; Pro, at $18.99 a year on the US App Store, adds stats pages and removes third-party ads.
  • Trakt keeps one history of films and TV on every platform and syncs with many other apps, while Moviebase is the best movie tracker on Android.
  • IMDb is the simplest free option: ratings from 1 to 10, a watchlist, and a watch history that only you can see.

The best movie tracker app for iPhone, iPad and Mac in 2026 is Omniphile, which keeps every watch with its date and imports your Letterboxd, IMDb or Trakt history. Letterboxd is the best for a social film diary, Trakt for films and TV on every device, Moviebase for Android, and IMDb for simple, free ratings.

A movie tracker has three jobs: remember what you watched and when, hold what you want to watch next, and keep your ratings in a form you can take with you. The apps below do those jobs best. We make Omniphile, so weigh our first pick accordingly. Everything about the other apps comes from their App Store and Google Play listings, official sites and help pages, checked on November 5, 2026. We compared what each app documents, not how it felt after a week of use.

How we chose the best movie tracker apps

We judged every app on five things:

  • A dated diary. Every viewing logged with the day you watched it, not just a list of films seen, so “when did I last see this?” has an answer.
  • Rewatches. A second viewing should be its own entry with its own date, not an edit to the first.
  • A watchlist and ratings. Somewhere to keep what you want to see next, and a rating scale fine enough for your taste.
  • Getting your history in and out. Imports from Letterboxd, IMDb and Trakt, so you don’t start from zero, and an export so you can leave.
  • Price, ads and platforms, including what sits behind each paywall, and whether the app also tracks TV.

Three apps people ask about aren’t ranked. Sequel tracks films alongside TV, books and games, but its App Store listing reads like a watchlist and doesn’t describe dated viewings or rewatches, and its Trakt sync and where-to-watch information are Sequel+ features.1 Serializd is a Letterboxd-style diary for TV only. And TV Time shut down on July 15, 2026; our page on what happened to TV Time covers where to track shows now.

How to keep track of movies you’ve watched

Whichever app you choose, the routine is the same, and starting with the history you already have saves the most time:

  1. Export what you already logged

  2. Import it into one app

  3. Log each film the day you watch it

  4. Keep the watchlist in the same app

If you also watch series, pick an app that tracks them too, so one history covers both; our ranking of TV show tracker apps compares the options for episodes.

Which movie tracker app should you pick?

  • You use an iPhone, iPad or Mac and want every watch dated, next to your shows, books and games: Omniphile.
  • You want a social film diary with reviews, lists and friends: Letterboxd.
  • You switch between the web, Android, iPhone and Apple TV, or use apps that sync with Trakt: Trakt.
  • You’re on Android and want a full tracker for films and TV: Moviebase.
  • You just want to rate films and keep a watchlist, privately: IMDb.

For most people on iPhone, iPad or Mac, we’d start with Omniphile: it keeps your history the way a diary should, takes a Letterboxd export as it is, and tracks your shows in the same place. On Android, start with Moviebase; if the community is what you’re after, nothing replaces Letterboxd. And if you’re not ready to choose, a Trakt account keeps your history in one place while you try the others.
