ScreenCard
Keep local workflows available without a token, add fictional offline samples and accessible naming, and save comparison fields and filter views.
The problem it solves
ScreenCard ScreenCard is a local-first movie and TV research desk powered by your own TMDB API Read Access Token. Search for titles, organize a device-local viewing library, compare up to four complete research cards, add private notes, and export the result as Markdown or JSON.
Who ScreenCard is for
- People who need a small, purpose-built utility instead of a broad platform.
- Users working with movies, television, comparison who want the documented v1.2.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Keep local workflows available without a token, add fictional offline samples and accessible naming, and save comparison fields and filter views.
This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

There is no ScreenCard server, account, analytics, advertising, or tracking. The production build is a static site that can run from GitHub Pages, any ordinary web host, or a local static server.

What changed in v1.2.0
Keep local workflows available without a token, add fictional offline samples and accessible naming, and save comparison fields and filter views.
Opening ScreenCard or its empty library no longer forces a token dialog. Search and uncached remote detail requests require an explicit connection; cached library details remain available with age/stale labels, while uncached references remain editable. Three fictional, clearly labeled demo cards work without TMDB requests or remote images. Native prompt dialogs for lists/comparison sets are replaced by labeled in-page dialogs. Quick, credits and complete comparison presets plus custom visible fields persist locally; up to 30 named library filter views can be saved and replaced. Column selection changes the view, not the complete research export payload. Private notes default to omitted from research and backup exports; an explicit checkbox includes them. Backup serialization uses defined library fields and excludes stored tokens/cache. Cache storage is capped at 100 entries, retaining stale details for offline review. Tests and desktop/mobile UI checks cover local behavior; no real TMDB-token/API acceptance is claimed. Existing workflow/package formatting failures are corrected.
Validation: npm run validate and npm audit.
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
The public build is published at:
<https://loganpendragonmultiverse.github.io/screencard/>
You need a TMDB API Read Access Token before searches will work. ScreenCard does not include or proxy a shared token.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
- ScreenCard needs a user-supplied TMDB developer token and an internet connection for uncached
title data and images.
- A browser application cannot hide a token from someone who controls that browser or device.
- Libraries do not synchronize automatically between devices and do not integrate with a TMDB
user account. Versioned backup files can be moved manually and expose a merge summary first.
- Ratings are TMDB community ratings, not personal recommendations or review scores.
- Availability by streaming provider is deliberately outside version 1; showing that data would add
separate JustWatch attribution and regional-state requirements.
- TMDB controls its API availability, rate limits, data, and images.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
Privacy and safety
No privacy behavior beyond the current repository documentation is claimed. Review the source, security policy, and input/output behavior before using sensitive material.
License and release
ScreenCard is published under MIT. The current cataloged release is v1.2.0, published 2026-09-07.
