It reads your whole history
Ratings, watch dates, rewatches, reviews and likes from your Letterboxd export become one private diary, so a pick is weighed against everything you have rated, not the last ten films.
Letterboxd recommendations
What to watch next, from your Letterboxd ratings.
Kinolog is a private movie diary app that reads your Letterboxd export and recommends films from your own ratings, with the films behind every pick and nothing you have already logged.

Why 4.4★
You rated these 4.5★ and up: quiet, idea-driven science fiction.
Recommendations that know what you already rated.
Every pick shows its reasons
A recommendation names the films in your diary that pushed it up, so you can tell a real match from a lucky guess before you press play.
Nothing you have seen
Picks are checked against TMDB and your diary. A film you have logged, or told Kinolog never to show again, does not come back.
Free
Personal picks and asks in your own words.
Daily picks ranked against your diary are free. So is asking for something specific, like a short thriller from the seventies or a comedy you can watch with your parents, within the free monthly allowance.
Plus
Your rating, before you watch.
With Plus, a pick also carries the star rating you are likely to give it, once your diary holds at least 8 rated films. The call is saved and checked against your real rating later. See how the rating predictor works.
Keep Letterboxd, add the part it does not do.
Letterboxd is the place for friends, reviews and lists. Kinolog is private and reads your diary back to you, which is why many people use both. Import once, or keep logging in Kinolog and export Letterboxd-compatible CSV whenever you like.
Questions people ask.
Does Letterboxd recommend movies based on my ratings?
Letterboxd is built for logging, lists and the community, and its discovery is mostly social and filter-based. It does not give you a personal predicted star rating before you watch. Kinolog reads your Letterboxd export and recommends films from your own ratings instead.
What does Kinolog use from my Letterboxd export?
Your ratings, diary entries with their watch dates, rewatches, reviews, tags, likes and watchlist. Films it cannot match with confidence go to a review list instead of being guessed.
Will it recommend films I have already seen?
No. Every pick is checked against TMDB and against your diary, and a film you have logged or marked never-again is never suggested.
Are Letterboxd-based recommendations free?
Personal picks are free, and on Free you can ask for exactly what you want in your own words up to 3 times a day and 10 a month. Predicted stars before you watch, with the films behind them, are part of Plus. Kinolog is independent and not affiliated with Letterboxd.
