Reel is the social movie and show-ranking app for people who actually keep track of what they watch — or always wished they did.
Instead of giving every movie a star rating you'll forget in a week, each film you rank gets compared head-to-head against ones you've already ranked, and your personal Top 10 (or Top 1,000) emerges from the choices you make. The result is a list that actually reflects your taste — because it was built from your taste, one decision at a time.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Rank every movie and TV show you've ever seen, in order.
• Add films to a watchlist so you never forget what's next.
• Follow friends and see what they're watching in real time.
• Compare your taste against anyone — see where your lists overlap and where they diverge.
• Browse leaderboards of top films among your friends, and globally.
• Jot a quick review on any title while it's fresh.
• Build streaks for consistent ranking and watching.
• Share your top films and lists straight to Instagram or anywhere else.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Other apps treat film tracking like a review platform: write paragraphs, give five stars, log a date. Reel treats it like ranking — because that's actually how taste works. You don't think "this movie is a 7.4." You think "I liked it more than X but less than Y." Reel turns that instinct into a real, ordered list.
And because every film is ranked relative to your other films, your scores stay honest as your taste evolves. The 9.0 you gave at age 12 doesn't trap you forever — re-rank it once and the whole list adjusts.
If you've ever kept a spreadsheet of films, a notes-app top 10, a Letterboxd diary you abandoned, or a running mental list of "things I should watch" — Reel is the app you've been wanting.
This is exactly what I’ve been wanting for years when it comes to an app for tracking my films.

Clean interface, easy to navigate, cool social components, but not required if you just want to use it for private tracking. Easy to throw down wishlist ideas quickly. Big fan.
just what the movie world needed

I love how the app ranks my favorite movies and shows, and it’s so fun seeing what my friends are watching too!!
Just the app I wanted
Mr.D1sh
In a perfect world, this becomes more popular than letterbox’d.I love this app and its rating system. It encourages you to rate movies and shows based more on how you like it than how everyone else views it. My only critique is that it’s a bit 🤏 lackluster, but once there’s more features, I can see it easily surpassing letterbox’d.
Good alternative to letterboxd

Really like the rating system and how different it is to letterboxd, while still allowing you to import from letterboxd. Would really appreciate a dark mode, it hurts my eyes
