Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Will, the founder of Curate.
For years I kept my watchlists and reading lists in my phone's notes app... which tells you everything about how well existing apps were serving me. I tried Letterboxd (films only, loads of ads), Goodreads (books only, horrible to use), etc. Nothing really provided the simplicity, lack of friction and breadth of content I was after.
So I built it myself. Curate started as a means of learning some web dev but quickly spiralled into a full-blown passion project, self-funded and solo-built part-time over the last year or so.
The result is something I actually wanted: a simple, clean, ad-free space to track films, TV and books in one place. A space that feels more personal than social, but eventually can connect you to likeminded people with similar tastes whose recommendations you can trust.
The social layer is being built with care, designed to spark curiosity not exploit attention. This means no ads. No likes. No comments. No performance. Interactions happen through the films, TV shows and books themselves - a quiet, shared record of what you actually love, not what you want to be seen loving. This is the foundation for genuine discovery.
Today’s launch is the first step: a low-friction, elegant and (hopefully!) joyful way to track everything you watch and read. A single home for ratings, reactions, notes, recommendations and collections across movies, TV and books. See what your friends are watching and reading. And explore hand-picked, highly-curated collections of the best stuff out there.
If you sign up, let me know how it goes! I’d love to know what you think - I’ll be in the comments all day 🙏
I’ve watched this one grow from the very first version, and it’s genuinely replaced the mess of notes on my phone.
Favourite bit is the explore feature. Being able to open a hand-picked collection like the top films of 2025 or the critics' top 25 TV shows and add straight to my watchlist means I'm actually working through the good stuff instead of scrolling for twenty minutes and giving up. Recommendations from friends and colleagues go in the second I hear them, and now books are in there too it's the only list I keep.
Really looking forward to the friend-matching side, being paired with people whose taste actually overlaps with mine is the thing I'd like most.
What's next on the roadmap?
Hey @willblacklock, I'd love of this app can make me combine my letterbox and goodreads all into one! Do you support porting of any information from letterbox/goodreads? Or will all users have to start building their profiles from scratch?
