About Kinolog: Movie Diary
Kinolog puts a star on a film before you watch it, and shows you the arithmetic. Log what you watched in about ten seconds: a rating, a couple of vibes, a note if you have one. Kinolog reads the diary back and starts making calls. "Predicted for you: 4.2 stars." Then it shows exactly how it got there, drawn from films you have already rated, so you can disagree with it on the evidence. IT CALLS YOUR RATING, NOT THE CROWD'S Every recommender tells you a film is popular. Kinolog tells you what YOU are likely to give it, and where that number came from: the directors you return to, the decades you are generous with, the genres you are hard on. No black box, no "because you watched", no borrowed average from strangers. Grade the calls afterwards. Bullseye, fine, or miss. Your hit rate goes on your stats page and stays there whether it flatters the app or not. A READ ON YOUR TASTE, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Not a pie chart of genres. Sentences you can check: which decade you are softest on, the run of films that shows you will sit with something uncomfortable, the one director you keep coming back to. Every claim names the films it is drawn from, and you can add rules every future pick respects. Genre against decade, too, because taste is not one axis. You can love 2010s thrillers and be cold on the 2000s ones, and only a grid can say so. A DIARY WORTH KEEPING Your years as a ribbon, so you can see the shape of a decade of watching, gaps included. Your own notes quoted back to you above the month you wrote them. Posters, not spreadsheet rows. "Have I seen this?" answered in under two seconds, with your rating and whatever you said at the time. NO FEED, NO FOLLOWERS Nothing to perform. No likes, no comments, nobody watching what you watch. Private by default and it stays that way. WHAT ELSE IS IN THERE - A watchlist that marks what is streaming on your services right now - Ask for what you want in your own words, not by filtering dropdowns - Movie night: films that clear a bar for everyone on the couch, rather than averaging two tastes into something nobody wanted - Import your whole history from a diary export, ratings, dates, rewatches and reviews, with anything ambiguous sent to a review queue instead of quietly guessed at - Stats, a yearly Wrapped, trailers, and where to watch on every film you open YOUR DATA, YOURS Export the lot as JSON whenever you like. Delete your account from inside the app and it is gone. No email, no waiting, no dark pattern. FREE, AND PLUS The diary is free forever: logging, import, watchlist, stats, calibration. Plus lifts the ceiling for the people who lean on it. Eligible new members can try Plus free for 7 days before it renews at the selected monthly or yearly price. The exact offer and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://kinolog.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://kinolog.app/privacy
