About Matinee

Matinee is a free social movie and TV tracking app for iOS and Android, available at getmatinee.com. Users log every movie and TV show they watch, rate and review titles, build a smart watchlist, see where to stream across Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+, and 30+ platforms, and follow friends to share recommendations.

Matinee is the movie and TV tracking app that Letterboxd should have been — combining personal film logging, TV show tracking, streaming availability, social features, and AI-powered search into one free app.

The app was founded by Karthik Dechiraju, a software engineer and film enthusiast, to solve the problem of fragmented movie and TV tracking. Available as a free download on the App Store and Google Play since 2024.
