Most of us keep our taste in pieces. Movies live in one app, books in another, games in a spreadsheet, and the album that got you through last winter lives nowhere at all. Each app knows one slice of you, and none of them know your friends.
Wibely puts all five in one place: Movies, TV, Music, Books and Games. One profile, one feed, one set of friends.
Why one place matters
Taste doesn't stay in one format. The book you loved sends you to its adaptation, the show sends you to its soundtrack, the game sends you to the novel it borrowed from. When everything sits in separate apps, those links are lost, and so is the full picture of what you love.
I had five apps open to answer one question: what have I loved this year? Wibely started as the one place that could answer it.
What it looks like
- Log anything. Mark it watched, read, listened or played, rate it, and write a review if you want to. All of it is free.
- TV, episode by episode. Tick one episode, mark everything up to where you are, or a whole season. A show counts as watched once every aired episode is ticked.
- Five favourites per kind. Your All Time Favourites sit on your profile: five movies, five shows, five albums, five books, five games.
- Lists for anything. Make lists and see how far through them you are.
Your friends, across all five
Follow people and their reviews, ratings and what they're watching, reading, hearing or playing right now show up in one feed. On any title page you'll see which of the people you follow already watched it. You can send a movie, song or book straight into a chat, and Wibe™ messaging is free.
Bring your history with you
You don't have to start from zero. Wibely imports from Letterboxd, Goodreads, Trakt, Netflix and Backloggd, keeps your original dates, and posts nothing. See the switching guide.

How it compares with single-purpose apps
Each of the well-known trackers is good at one or two kinds. With Wibely, nothing you love is left out.

The full comparison also covers where to watch, messaging, imports and more.
Who it suits
If you only ever watch movies, a movie-only app will do. Wibely is for people whose year is a mix: a few shows, a stack of books, one long game and the albums in between. It's also for people who'd rather hear from five friends than from five thousand strangers.
How to start in ten minutes
- Get the app. Wibely is free on iPhone and Android. Download it here.
- Bring your history. If you've used Letterboxd, Goodreads, Trakt, Netflix or Backloggd, import your file so your profile isn't empty on day one.
- Pick your five. Choose your All Time Favourites for each kind you care about. It's the quickest way to show people your taste.
- Follow a few people. Three to five friends whose taste you trust is enough to make the feed useful.
- Log the next thing you finish. One rating tonight is how the habit starts.
Once you're logging, two habits make it stick: keeping a note of the moments that stayed with you, and asking your friends what to watch next.
