Keeping Track of Movies You’ve Seen?

I like keeping a list of the movies I’ve seen. I started doing it in January last year1. At first, I used Daytum, but then Daytum got bought by Facebook and the Daytum iPhone app stopped working. Next, I built a dumb mobile website called Miz on Seen (I know, it’s the worst pun) and imported my movies from Daytum. That worked fine, but it’s not great.

This year, I’m looking for a more native solution. Is there a (nice) iPhone app that will let me enter the name of a movie I’ve seen, the date/time I saw it, and maybe a star rating or some notes? I’ve typed words into Google, but I can’t find any.

How do you keep track of the movies you’ve seen?

  1. According to my calculations, I watched 119 movies last year, so about 2.2 movies a week, which I’m pretty happy with. Some repeats, though — Alien a couple of times, Lost in Translation a couple of times, MacGruber something like twelve times (I really like that movie). ↩

  5. doug answered: Maybe you’re over-thinking it? Simplenote/NVAlt might be sufficient and also future-format friendly.
