Track movies and TV in one place

One history, one watchlist, Up Next for shows, a dashboard, and import from Trakt, Letterboxd, or IMDb — how dejaVu works.

Updated September 7, 2026

dejaVu is a watch ledger: movies, shows, episodes, ratings, lists, collection. The point is not to replace TMDB. It is to stop splitting your history across three apps.

One history, two kinds of titles

  • Movies: watched, rewatch, rating, watchlist, favorite, collection (Blu-ray, DVD, 4K, digital).
  • Shows: the same at show level, plus season / episode progress, episode ratings, and the Up Next queue.

You do not have to pick “I’m a movie person” or “TV”. Both live on the same account.

Where to start

The fastest path is not clicking everything by hand:

  1. Create an account (free, no card).
  2. Import what you already have:
    • Trakt — usually the most complete for TV
    • Letterboxd — the movie diary
    • IMDb — movie + TV ratings and lists
  3. Open the dashboard and keep 3–4 useful widgets (watch time, Up Next, continue watching).

The getting started guide also covers display language and streaming services.

Day to day

  • You finish an episode → it is marked watched, the next one shows in Up Next.
  • You are unsure → watchlist with a priority level.
  • You shelf a Blu-ray → collection, next to digital history.
  • You want a list for a movie night → manual or smart list, optionally shared with a friend.

If you play from Kodi, scrobbling writes all of that without a form.

What dejaVu is not

It is not an editorial catalog, and it is not a movie-first social network (Letterboxd). It is the tool to know what you have seen, what is left, and what to start tonight. For how that sits next to Trakt and Letterboxd, see the alternative.

Create an account

Start for free — no credit card. Import the source where your history is fullest first, check a dozen titles, then connect the rest.
