Recap for: Movies & Anime Episodes
Noticed that Episode Recap is currently only shown on TV Shows... Its missing on Anime Episode/Films & Also Movies.
Chapter-Based Recaps for 2–3 Hour Movies:
Feature-length movies can be a lot to digest!
It’d be great to have Scene-by-Scene Chapter Recaps for long films, breaking the plot down into timestamped chapters so users can easily catch up or refresh their memory on specific parts of the movie without rewatching the whole thing.
- Spoiler Protection: Keep scene-by-scene recaps hidden by default, revealing them only for users who have marked the movie as "Watched", with an explicit click-to-reveal warning for anyone willing…

Context-Aware Dynamic Footer Links
The current footer is identical across most SIMKL pages and feels repetitive. It would be great if it became context-aware, showing useful links based on the section you're browsing.
(At least, for regular SIMKL members, who are familiar with the website)
This would make the footer more useful, improve content discovery, and give each section of SIMKL a more dynamic feel without changing the main UI.
Instead of displaying the same links everywhere, why not make the footer context-aware and adapt based on the section the user is currently browsing?
Examples:
🎬 Movies
- Top 100 Movies
- Most Anticipated
- Most Rewatched

Option to list movies that are free based on your current subscriptions
Right now I have to lick each movie on my list, then scroll down to see where I can watch it based on my current subscriptions. Sometimes, even though I have a certain subscription services like Amazon Prime, the movie still costs $25 to rent. I would love a way to filter movies that are FREE to watch on my existing subscriptions so I can quickly get a list of all the free movies at a glance and not have to go through each movie one by one. Seems like an easy fix!

it would be really useful if SIMKL could provide official API endpoints for browsing and reading lists
Hello,
it would be really useful if SIMKL could provide official API endpoints for browsing and reading public lists and user custom lists.
- custom lists
- most liked / trending lists
- user-created lists
- reading the actual contents of a list
It would be great to have endpoints that allow developers to:
* fetch list metadata
* browse lists
* browse user custom lists
* retrieve all items inside a listThank you.

default timezone results in inaccurate watch dates when importing Letterboxd data
Data exported from Letterboxd does not include full datetimes on items, but rather just the date. When importing data from Letterboxd, Simkl interprets that date as being 12 AM UTC on that day.
This can result in an off-by-one day error when converting the date to the user's current timezone.
For example, if a movie's watched date is 2026-07-20 in the Letterboxd export data, Simkl will record the movie as having been watched on 2026-07-20 at 12 AM UTC. If a user in Los Angeles then views their watch history in Simkl, it will show the movie as having been…

Letterboxd import: prefer watched date from diary.csv over watched.csv for more accurate watch dates
If today I were to go into Letterboxd and log a movie as having been watched a year ago, there will be two entries that show up in my exported Letterboxd data. One in watched.csv, with today's date associated with it, and one in diary.csv with the actual watch date associated with it.
Currently Simkl is marking imported movies with the watched.csv dates only, even in cases where more accurate dates for items can be found in diary.csv. It should use dates from diary.csv instead where available.
Note that it is possible to mark a movie as watched in Letterboxd…

Let us filter “Airing Next” by release type
It would be useful if the Airing Next section let us choose which types of release we want to see—for example, theatrical, streaming, digital, DVD/Blu-ray, or film festival releases.
At the moment, a movie might say it’s coming out in three days, but when you open its page, that date is sometimes only for a film festival screening. That isn’t especially useful to most people, and you have to check each movie individually to find out when it will actually be widely available.
A release-type filter—or at least a label beside each date—would make the Coming Soon section much more…

2 way Sync with Emby Server
The Emby plugin for SIMKL is helpful but not very sophisticated, the effort the dev put it is obviously appreciated but wouldn't it be great to have an official SIMKL version that had two way syncing, it'd be great to change the watch state on either platform and have that sync across.
As a side note, also have the 2 way sync work when manually marking something as watched, currently the Emby plugin only works when the watch state reaches a pre-defined % that's set-up when you configure the plugin.

Add a category or whatever that when a season is finished don't leave there on the watching list
On the watching section there are many series that are finished that maybe they will have an upcoming season or the show is still airing, but they should not be put on the watching list, put them somewhere else, it is not correct to put them all together. It is very confusing

Movie Edition Relationships
Much like how Anime entries can show “Directly Related” or “Indirectly Related” series, the Movies page should also highlight special editions and alternate cuts.
By introducing relational links for various movie versions—such as Extended Edition, Director’s Cut, Blu-ray Edition, Uncensored, and Unrated—users can easily see every variant in one place.
Suggested Edition Categories:
Extended Edition
Director’s Cut
Blu-ray Edition
Uncensored Edition
Unrated Version
And few more...
Examples of Related Editions:
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Spider-Man: No Way Home – The More Fun Stuff Version
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Extended Edition

Trakt Watch History Import Issue – Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2
Hello Simkl Support,
I found an issue while importing my watch history from Trakt to Simkl.
"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" imported only partially. Season 1 was imported correctly, but Season 2 was not imported at all.
My Season 2 watch history exists on Trakt, but none of the Season 2 episodes appeared in Simkl after the import.
Show: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Issue Details:
- Season 1 imported correctly.
- Season 2 did not import.
- The watch history for Season 2 is present on Trakt.
- Other shows imported successfully.
This appears to be a mapping or synchronization issue affecting only Season 2…

More Free Movies/Shows/Series
I am from Greece and we have a free TVsite called ERTflix that every now and then hosts good shows, series and movies, I am also aware of the USA Tubi, it's locked to americans but still.
My notion is, it would be a cool accomplishmend to come in condact with as many of those local TV sites (usually free ones) and offer the information to us where we can watch the material we wish for free.
For exhample last month ertflix had Spiderman No Way Home for free and Tubi Gladiator. Not bad. They always have a movie that…3 votes
