A Letterboxd alternative that tracks TV shows too
Letterboxd is great for movies, but falls short if you also watch TV. MisPelis keeps movies and shows in a single library and brings in your Letterboxd history in a few minutes.
MisPelis vs. Letterboxd
They're not the same app and don't try to be. Letterboxd is a social network for film lovers; MisPelis is your personal movie and TV library. Here's what each one offers:
| MisPelis | Letterboxd | |
|---|---|---|
| Movies | Yes | Yes |
| TV shows | Yes, with new-episode alerts | No, movies only |
| Where to watch each title | Yes | Yes |
| Diary and ratings | Yes | Yes |
| Custom lists | Yes | Yes |
| Public reviews and followers | No, it's personal | Yes, its strong suit |
| Movie games and quizzes | Yes | No |
| Import Letterboxd history | Yes | — |
| Price | Free | Free, with paid plans |
Why people look for an alternative
- They want to track TV shows too. In MisPelis a show is saved just like a movie, you can mark it as "Watching" and we'll alert you when a new episode comes out.
- They'd rather have something personal, not a social network. Your library, diary and notes are just for you.
- They want it in their language. MisPelis is available in seven languages, with translated titles and synopses.
Bring your Letterboxd history
You don't have to start from scratch. Export your data from Letterboxd, import the watched.csv file into MisPelis and all your movies will show up as watched.
And if you ever want to go back, MisPelis exports your collection in the same CSV format Letterboxd can import.
Plus a few things Letterboxd doesn't have
- Movie games: guess actors from their photo, identify iconic quotes or play endless AI-generated quizzes by genre.
- Ask the AI: before watching a movie, check whether it's really scary or if an animal dies.
- Hall of Fame: your top 10 movies and top 10 shows, in your own order.
