A film journal for iPhone
A year of watching,
and it reads like
a year.
Ciniel keeps what you watched, when, where you sat and what you made of it. On your device, in your hands, and portable to whatever you use next.

The interface
No two films look the same.
Ciniel reads the palette out of a film's own artwork and tints everything around it — the buttons, the badges, the ground it sits on. The app doesn't have one look. It has as many as your library does.
Three screens from the same build, on the same evening. The colour is the film's, not the app's.



One film, top to bottom
Every film brings its own colour.
Ciniel reads the palette out of the artwork and tints the whole page to it — the buttons, the rating badge, the ground it all sits on.
Everything you'd otherwise go looking for.
Cast and crew, runtime, release, the tagline, the collection it belongs to. One page, no tab hunting, and fetched once rather than every time you open it.
Every time you've seen it.
Each watch keeps its own date and its own place — the sofa, or a cinema you can name. Re-watches stack up instead of overwriting the one before.
What you thought, in your own words.
Your rating sits beside everyone else's, your review stays yours, and the rest of the collection is one tap away.

Bring a decade in. Nothing goes back out.
Trakt takes a username — no sign-in, and it costs you no connection at all. Letterboxd takes the export file you already have. One free import from each, on every tier, and neither one ever writes back.

It spends no Trakt connection
Import reads a public profile from the username alone. Whatever else you have connected stays connected.
And it doesn't touch your twenty
Imported films never count against the free logs. Only the films you log yourself do.
Pricing
The journal is yours. Connecting it to the world is Pro.
