Ability to preview and selectively choose data to be imported
When using the Trakt import for example it would be great if we could preview the data that will be imported and any changes it might make to existing watch history in Simkl, with the ability to approve or reject individual additions and changes.
(Similar to how file syncing software allows the user to approve or ignore file modifications, overwrites and additions, before actually running the sync process.)

Export custom/collaborative list in sonarr/radarr compatible format
Allow us to share custom/collaborative/auto lists in a format that is compatible with radarr/sonarr for automation.
Should be able to share the export link so that friends can add to their radarr/sonarr and automatically update when changes are made to the list without needing to manually change anything in radarr/sonarr after initially integrating the list.
Why? - I'm part of a community that likes to post monthly recommendations and we all have radarr/sonarr. If I can create a collaborative list and have a share link that everyone can add to radarr/sonarr, it allows us to automatically get fresh recommended content…

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…

Enable adding TV episodes (not just seasons) to lists
One of the things the disastrous Trakt v3 upgrade killed was the ability to add individual TV show episodes to lists. I used that feature extensively and losing it was one of the last straws that caused me to fire them.
This is useful in a lot of different scenarios, like for listing actor/actress appearances in filmography lists.
One of my favorite applications was curating lists of holiday-themed episodes (like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween episodes) I could refer back to each year when I'm in the mood to watch something season-appropriate. Everybody has Christmas music playlists and many have Christmas…

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
- …

Optional setting to group related anime seasons and cours into one series
I recently migrated from TV Time and Trakt, and the way separate anime seasons and cours are structured and displayed on Simkl is currently one of the biggest obstacles for me.
Many anime that are presented as one show with multiple seasons or continuous episode numbering on services such as Crunchyroll and Trakt are listed as completely separate anime titles on Simkl.
For example, SPY x FAMILY Season 1 consists of 25 episodes on Crunchyroll and Trakt, while Simkl separates it into two entries with 12 and 13 episodes. I understand that this may follow AniDB’s structure and that the…

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!

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.

Movie bingo
what if you could create a bingo board as a minigame with movies from your ptw or from your recommendations and you get points for clearing it
there would be leaderboard with people that cleared the most cardseasier way would be just getting 3 random movies and clearing them. if you do, you get a point, if you skip at least one, you can reroll (once per 3 days let's say) and lose progress

Distinguished filters for physical media & digital releases
Currently in the lists, the “DVD” filter combines digital releases and physical media (in this regard, this label is misleading and should be renamed if it is to be kept).
I suggest adding (or replace by) distinguished filters for physical media releases only then for digital releases / VOD.9 votes
