ScreenCard
Research movies and TV locally with searchable viewing lists, private notes, saved comparisons, merge-preview backups, and filtered spreadsheet-safe CSV exports.
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 v1.3.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Research movies and TV locally with searchable viewing lists, private notes, saved comparisons, merge-preview backups, and filtered spreadsheet-safe CSV exports.

Changelog
Release notes from the canonical v1.3.0 source tag.
All notable changes are documented here. This project follows Semantic Versioning.
- Added case-insensitive, all-term local library search across titles, movie/TV IDs and tags. Search combines with existing list, status and tag filters without requiring a token.
- Added CSV export of the visible, sorted library with viewing status, priority, personal ratings, tags, list names and TMDB links. Private notes require an explicit opt-in; quoted cells and formula neutralization protect spreadsheet use.
- Patched existing Vitest, brace-expansion and source-map-js build/test dependency warnings with compatible versions.
- Updated the visible runtime version and current-release documentation.
- Added named local lists with viewing states, priority, personal ratings, tags, filtering, and sorting.
- Added sortable comparisons, highlighted differences, and reusable saved comparison sets.
- Added versioned local backup export and import with an explicit merge and conflict preview.
- Added privacy-reviewed Markdown and JSON exports that can omit private notes completely.
- Released a static movie and TV research-card application powered by a user-supplied TMDB token.
- Added movie/TV search, local ID-only watchlists, 24-hour response caching, and private notes.
- Added side-by-side comparison for up to four titles with credits, runtime, status, rating, genres,
synopsis, trailer, and TMDB links.
- Added attributed Markdown and versioned JSON exports.
- Added responsive self-hosted UI, GitHub Pages deployment, CI, CodeQL, dependency monitoring, and
release packaging.
Keep local workflows available without a token, add fictional offline samples and accessible naming, and save comparison fields and filter views.
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.
