Automatically Track Where Your Letterboxd Movies Are Streaming

If you open Letterboxd, scroll through your watchlist, and then bounce between Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, and Prime Video just to see what's available, you're doing way too much work.

This article shows you how to automate the entire process and let a tool keep track of streaming availability for you.

The Core Problem: No Automatic Watchlist Tracking

Letterboxd is a fantastic place to log films, rate them, and maintain a watchlist. But when it comes to tracking where those movies are actually streaming, there are some limitations:

• Streaming availability isn't shown for every user on every title.
• Integrations like JustWatch primarily help on individual movie pages, not entire lists.
• There's no built-in "watchlist streaming dashboard."
• You don't get alerts when a movie suddenly becomes available on a service you already pay for.

The result: a lot of manual searching, and a lot of missed opportunities to watch something the moment it appears on a service you use.

The Solution: Use a Watchlist-Focused Tracker

WatchRadar+ is built specifically for the use case that most serious Letterboxd users care about: "Where can I actually watch my watchlist?"

What WatchRadar+ Does

• Imports your Letterboxd watchlist from a CSV export.
• Matches those films to TMDB entries.
• Looks up streaming availability across 100+ supported services.
• Stores your list so it can be refreshed automatically.
• Sends notifications when a title becomes available to stream.

How to Set It Up (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Export Your Watchlist from Letterboxd

1. Go to your Letterboxd profile.
2. Open your Watchlist.
3. Look for the option to export the list as a CSV file.
4. Download the file to your computer or device.

Step 2: Upload That CSV to WatchRadar+

1. Open WatchRadar+.
2. Use the upload feature to select your watchlist CSV.
3. Wait a few moments while the app reads the file and matches titles.

Step 3: Let the App Track Everything for You

• WatchRadar+ checks where each movie is streaming using TMDB's provider data.
• You'll see a clear list of titles and their current availability.
• You can filter by services you actually subscribe to, like Netflix, Max, or Hulu.

Step 4: Enable Notifications

Once notifications are enabled, WatchRadar+ can alert you when:

• A movie on your watchlist becomes available on one of your selected services.
• A title moves from "not streaming" to "included with subscription."

No more checking manually "just in case."

Why Automation Matters

Movie catalogs change constantly. Titles rotate between services every month, sometimes even more frequently. Manually checking availability is almost guaranteed to miss something.

Automating the process means the app keeps track of changes for you. You only need to pay attention when a notification appears saying, "This movie from your watchlist is now streaming on a service you use."

Letterboxd Pro Users: Is This Still Useful?

Yes. Letterboxd Pro offers solid streaming information for individual films, but it does not:

• Scan your entire watchlist in bulk.
• Send push notifications when titles become available.
• Provide a watchlist-wide streaming dashboard focused only on availability.

WatchRadar+ is a complementary tool: Letterboxd remains your social and logging platform, and WatchRadar+ becomes your dedicated streaming tracker.

Final Thoughts

If you've ever sat down to watch a movie and spent more time searching than actually watching, automating your streaming tracking is worth it.

Upload your Letterboxd watchlist once, turn on notifications, and let a tool do the work in the background.
