What it does

DejaView is for keeping a personal movie collection understandable at a glance. It gives watched films and family movie-night lists a place to live, making it easier to remember what has been watched, what belongs together, and what might be worth revisiting.

The experience is built around browsing and recognition: poster-forward entries, grouped lists, and enough detail to make the collection feel useful without turning movie tracking into busywork.

Highlights

Organizes movie lists around repeat viewing, family picks, and collection context.
Turns movie tracking into a browsable catalogue instead of a plain spreadsheet.
Includes a stats page with funny trophies for family movie-night bragging rights.

Sep 28, 2026 Made moving movies between groups more reliable and improved handling of simultaneous edits.
