About Cinema Diary: Film Journal
A private diary for every film you watch. Log the same movie as many times as you like, and keep every rating and note along the way. At the end of the year, your own logs become your personal film awards. Cinema Diary isn't a social network. There are no followers and no public reviews—just a quiet journal where "loved it" and "still thinking about that ending" are written for you alone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Log each viewing: date, half-star rating, theater, how you watched, who you watched with, tags and notes • Attach photos to a viewing—ticket stubs, posters, the sky on the walk home • Rewatches stay together under one film, so you can see how your rating changed over time • Switch between a poster-style grid and a list on Home • Search titles and notes, then filter by rating, theater, companion or period • Stats: films this year, films per month, and rankings for directors, theaters and more • Personal Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Venue, Most Rewatched and Best Discovery, picked from your year of logs • Your Top 10 of the year, ranked from your own ratings • After you save a film, it appears on screen like the opening of a movie • Give your diary a name and make it yours • Start with a few sample films to see how it works (delete them anytime in Settings) WITH CINEMA PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Up to 10 photos per viewing (3 in the free version) • Unlimited theaters, companions and other My Data entries (5 per category in the free version) • Cross analysis: theater × rating, companion × rating • Full Top 10 rankings (Top 3 in the free version) • Your Film Story: read your stats as a full story • Monthly Letter: last month's diary, delivered as a letter • Masterpiece Album: a shelf for films you rated 4.5 stars or higher • Custom awards you name yourself (like "Cried Hardest") • My Theaters: see the theaters you've visited on a map • "Before watching" and "Looking back" notes • Cover themes: Wabi-Sabi, Film, Dawn, Theater and Silver • No promotions for the developer's other apps GREAT FOR • Movie lovers whose notes are scattered across notes apps and camera rolls • People who rewatch favorites in theaters or on streaming • Anyone who wants to keep honest thoughts private • Cinephiles who love looking back on their year in film • Collectors of ticket stubs and theater memories PRIVACY • No account required • Your logs, photos and notes are stored on your device and are never sent to the developer (there is no developer server) • When you open My Theaters (Pro), theater names are used with Apple Maps search to place them on the map • To show the developer's other apps, Cinema Diary downloads public App Store information (app names and icons) only. Your diary is never sent • No tracking • Because everything stays on your device, deleting the app also deletes your diary
