When your watchlist is too big to pick from

A long list feels like options. On the night, it’s one more thing to scroll.

Start from tonight, not the backlog

You don’t have to sort two thousand films before you can watch one. Do whatever sounds best right now. Lights Down starts from your taste and tonight’s mood, not from your list, and hands you ten picks to begin.

Already know which film from your list you want? Saved is one tap away in the bottom menu.

Saved is your watchlist

Anything you add to tonight’s picks also lands in Saved. The ones you didn’t get to stay there, so a night’s choosing is never lost.
Search it, or sort it by most recently added or A to Z.
To keep Saved, make a free account. Without one, it stays on this device only.

Bring your list, sort it when you want

You can bring your history and your watchlist from Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt, Netflix, or a saved TV Time export.

An imported watchlist waits on its own shelf instead of flooding Saved. Sort it one film at a time, or a batch at once, whenever you feel like it:

Leave it out takes it off the shelf.
Seen it moves it to Watched, and Lights Down never suggests a film you’ve already watched.
Keep moves it into Saved.

Sorting is optional. A long list isn’t the goal here. A clean one is. Watched is the other half. It’s where Lights Down works as a movie tracker app for everything you’ve seen.

"Not tonight" isn’t "never"

A plain no can mean "I’d hate this" or just "not tonight." Lights Down asks which:

Not tonight brings it back tomorrow.
Hide for a month gives it a rest.
Hide forever means forever.

Questions people ask

How do I choose from a huge watchlist?

Don’t start with the list. Start with tonight’s mood and a short set of picks. Keep the list for the nights you already know what you want.

Can I import my Letterboxd watchlist?

Yes. Export your Letterboxd data as a zip, choose it in Lights Down, and the watchlist arrives on its own shelf to sort when you like.

Will Lights Down pick from my saved list?

Not today. Tonight’s picks come from your taste and mood. Your saved films are one tap away whenever you want one.

Do I have to sort everything I import?

No. Sorting is there if you want it. Lights Down works the same either way.
