Star ratings pile up at four stars and tell you nothing. Nexly asks a simpler question — yes, maybe, or no — then has you compare the new one against what you've already read or seen, and turns that into a ranking you'd defend.
From a half-remembered list in your notes app to a shelf that knows which of two books you'd hand a friend first.
Dump the list you've been keeping — notes, an old spreadsheet, a screenshot's worth of titles — and we parse it, match each entry against the book and film catalogs, and pick up the covers and details. Where a title is ambiguous you choose from candidates instead of getting a wrong match.
Everything sits in a state: want to, in progress, finished, or abandoned. See it as a grid of covers, a dense list, or a board you drag across columns — and in a shared group, flip between your own progress and everyone's.
Give it a gut-check yes, maybe, or no, then place it against titles you've already rated with a handful of head-to-head comparisons. Books and movies rank in their own separate orders, because a novel and a thriller film aren't competing for the same slot.
Recommendations come from what you actually ranked highly, not from a genre you picked once at signup. Keep mixed lists of books and films, add titles that aren't out yet, and check off the group's picks together as they land.
A library for books and movies that keeps your progress, your verdicts, and your rankings in one place.
Books from Open Library and films from TMDB, with covers, years, and details filled in for you.
Paste a whole backlog as free text. We read out the titles, match them, and detect where you said you'd already finished something.
A yes/maybe/no verdict, then head-to-head placement — producing a 0–10 score derived from where a title actually sits.
Three views per type, and the one you pick is remembered next time you come back.
In a shared group, toggle the board between your own progress and the whole group's.
Book-club picks, a summer watchlist, a shared queue — books and films together, including titles that aren't out yet.
Write down why, and see what everyone else in the group thought of the same title.
Open any movie and see related titles, so a favorite becomes the start of the next few nights.
Ask what you finished this year, and organize the shelf with your own tags on top of catalog genres.
Ask what to read next and it answers from your rankings — the titles you placed at the top, the ones you abandoned, and the tags you've been leaning on lately. It can search the catalogs, add something to your shelf, start a list, move a title's status, and tell you how the year is going. Because it reads across the rest of your library, a trip to Japan can turn into a reading list, and a book you loved can turn into tonight's film.
