fuzz radius
Stored location is randomised; your street does not go on the map.
movie-map.app
Film culture, plotted — not scrolled
Every app shows you a list. MovieMap shows you the world: who is watching what, where they are, and what that means for your next discovery. It is Letterboxd energy with a globe underneath.
iPhone-first. Your pin uses fuzzed location — precise addresses never hit the map. You decide what friends see.
By the numbers
Real constraints we ship on — not vanity metrics.
TMDB
metadata layer
Posters, credits, and availability signals from The Movie Database API — the same spine many film apps trust.

The map experience we describe stays clean — no banner rows between you and your friends.

The idea
Algorithms ask what you clicked. We ask where you are — and who around you cares about the same frames.
MovieMap is the hypothesis that spatial social discovery beats another recommender row. Same passion, different geometry.
Why it feels different
Four product bets — map-native presence, ambient watch state, serious logging, and zero cold start if you already live on Letterboxd.
Geography is the discovery engine
Pins are people. Distance is context. When you see taste clustered on a globe, you stop asking “what is trending?” and start asking “who is actually here?” — that is the shift MovieMap is built around.
Live globe
Drop in, see friends, feel where cinephiles concentrate — not as data, as a landscape.
Now watching
Surface what is on your screen; friends can notice without you spamming a story.
Logs & lists
Ratings, reviews, Watch Later — the spine of a real film diary, not a gimmick.
Letterboxd CSV
Import your history so MovieMap starts rich on day one.
On the map in minutes
Profile → pin → log. The loop is tight on purpose.
Claim your name
Sign in, pick a username, set visibility — you own the boundary between public and friends-only.
Place the pin
Approximate location lands you on the globe; nothing precise is stored or shown to others.
Watch in public
Log films and shows, react to friends, and let the map suggest your next obsession.
No ad layer in the experience we describe here — details in the Privacy Policy.
