A simple way to search for films, build a personal library, and keep track of what you’ve seen — now on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Made by Jordan Matthiass.
Search: Find films or people, browse details, cast and crew, related films, and trailers.
Saved: Keep a watchlist and organize films into custom lists, synced across devices via iCloud.
Watched: Keep track of films you’ve seen, along with ratings, dates, and notes.
Filter: Narrow any library or filmography by genre, decade, rating, watched state, and more.
Apple TV: Browse, search, save, rate, and revisit films from the couch with a remote-first interface.
In a hurry? Search for a film with Siri or the Shortcuts app, or pull up your saved and watched films straight from Spotlight — tap a result to jump right to it in the app. On iOS 27, Siri can search the in-app catalog and open a specific film for you.
Where does film data come from?
Film metadata, cast, crew, and artwork come from The Movie Database (TMDB). This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Can I import my lists from IMDb or Letterboxd?
Yes. Just export a CSV from IMDb or Letterboxd and import it into Simple Film Search. Watchlists, ratings, and diary exports are all supported.
Does it work offline?
Your Saved and Watched lists are always available. Search and trailers need an internet connection, but previously loaded film details and images are cached.
No account needed. Your data stays on your devices, with optional iCloud sync. You can export or import your lists as CSV any time.

If you enjoy Simple Film Search, a review on the App Store goes a long way. Thank you.
