Slate. A personal library for films and TV.

I had five years of Letterboxd history and recommendations scattered through Notes. I designed and built Slate to bring films and TV together. I use it most on my phone.

Films and TV in one library

Film and TV share the same three states: Up Next, Watching and Watched. That lets me browse everything I’m considering for tonight in one place.

I also built an episode tracker, with a season picker and progress controls. I removed it after several rounds of polish. Keeping up with individual episodes was turning into a second product inside Slate.

Bringing my old library along

I had five years of Letterboxd history to bring over. Slate imports Letterboxd and Trakt exports, keeps watched dates where available, and skips titles already in the library. Trakt’s individual episode rows are combined into shows before matching.

Open a poster and change its watch state. Then look for it under that filter.
