Films live on Letterboxd, games on Backloggd, books on Goodreads — and the album you had on repeat last month lives nowhere at all. Each of those apps is good at its one thing, and none of them can tell you what you actually got through this year.
Mediary is one place for all of it: a tracker for everything you watch, play, read and listen to. Films and TV, games and board games, books, manga and albums, with one diary, one set of ratings and one library between them.
One search, every format
One box finds films, shows, games, books, albums, manga and board games together. No more switching apps because the thing you finished last night isn’t a film.
It is forgiving about how you ask, too. “dune 2021” finds the right Dune, “the last of us game” skips the show, and an actor’s name brings up everything they are in. You don’t need an account to look around.
Track it, log it, rate it
- A status that fits the format. Planned, in progress or finished, plus the detail each format needs: which season you are on, which platform you are playing on, how far into the book you have got.
- A diary, not a checklist. Every sitting gets its own entry, so a film you have watched three times reads as three times, not one.
- Ratings and reviews. Half-star ratings and long-form reviews, with a spoiler toggle for the ones that need it.
- Lists that mix formats. Ranked or unranked, private or public, and free to hold the film and the game it came from: “comfort rewatches”, “finish in 2026”, “games I owe an opinion on”.
Logging is instant — mark an episode watched and it is done — so catching up on a season of television feels like ticking boxes.
Every title, the whole picture
Each title gets a page that answers the questions you would otherwise open three tabs for: where you can stream it, what IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic made of it, and whether it comes with anything you would rather be warned about — crowd-voted content warnings, including, yes, whether the dog dies.
Games show what they cost right now on Steam, GOG, Epic and the rest. Board games come with photos from the BoardGameGeek community: the components, the box, a table halfway through a game.
Can’t remember the name? Ask
Keyword search needs the title. Mediary’s assistant doesn’t. Describe a plot you half-remember, say you have ninety minutes tonight, or ask what your own library says about your taste, and you get real titles back rather than a description of them. It sits in the corner of every page, a ⌘K away.
- Search by description. “Films where the twist is the narrator” finds the film, not the word.
- Lists drafted for you. Ask for “cosy games for a winter week off” and it proposes a title, a blurb and the picks. You edit them before anything is saved.
- Catch-ups without spoilers. Ask what has happened so far in a show you are halfway through. It is only ever told about the episodes you have already seen, so there is nothing for it to spoil.
It can’t make titles up, either. Everything it suggests has to be found in the real catalogue first, and anything that isn’t never reaches the screen.
What’s coming, in your calendar
Upcoming gathers the dates for everything you are waiting on: films, games and albums by release date, shows by air date. For a show you are partway through, that is the next episode rather than the next season.
One link puts the lot in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, and it keeps itself up to date from there.
A profile that reads you back
Everything you log builds your profile as you go: a diary of what you finished and when, a library you can narrow down to a single title in a couple of clicks, and your stats — told in sentences rather than left for you to decode from a pie chart. You’re a films person — 62% of your library. A soft spot for the 1990s. Saturday is your day.
Follow friends to see what they are watching, playing and reading, and share your own profile with a link.
Bring your history, keep your data
Coming from somewhere else? Import your history from Letterboxd, Goodreads, Backloggd or IMDb. For anything else — another tracker’s export, a spreadsheet you have kept for years — AI reads the file and proposes how it fits, and every row is shown to you before anything is saved.
It works the other way too. Export everything your account holds in one file, whenever you like: your diary, your ratings and your lists are yours.
Under the hood
For the curious: Mediary is a Next.js app on Supabase. Behind that single search box sit sixteen sources — TMDB for films and TV, IGDB for games, BoardGameGeek, Google Books, MusicBrainz and more — all translated into one common shape, so a new kind of media can join without redesigning anything. What they send back is cached, which keeps pages fast and keeps Mediary a polite guest on the services it depends on.
