200 Saved Titles.
Still Nothing To Watch.
Every watchlist stores what you saved. None of them store why you saved it.
Add one line when you add a title. "Ben said it's the best thing he saw all year." "For the flight." Six months later that line is the only thing separating two films you've never heard of.

Sorting Was Never The Problem
You know the scene. Forty-five minutes of scrolling. Nothing chosen. Snacks gone cold.
Sorting by rating helps a little. It tells you what's good. It still doesn't tell you what you want tonight, which is a completely different question.
So the tool asks you two things instead. Why did you save this. And what kind of night is it.
The first one you answer yourself, in one line, when you add the title. The second one gets tagged automatically across nine moods: Funny, Tense, Tearjerker, Mind-Bending, Cozy and the rest.
Filter by both and a list of 200 becomes a list of four.
Netflix Doesn't Want You to Find What You Want
Remember when you could sort your "My List" A–Z? Or by the date you added a title?
Gone.
Netflix quietly killed those buttons. Now you're stuck with one option: "Netflix Suggestions." Translation: whatever Netflix wants to push that week.
This wasn't an accident. It's the same trick casinos pull when they remove the clocks and windows. If you can't find the exit, you stay. The longer you scroll, the more content they shove in your face, the more likely you give up and click whatever new reality show they're pushing.
That documentary you saved in 2019? Buried. On purpose.
The Algorithm Is Not Your Friend
That "Match Score" Netflix shows you? It doesn't tell you if a movie is good. It tells you if the movie fits the profile Netflix built for you, which conveniently lines up with whatever original content is cheapest for them to promote.
You pay for the subscription. They decide what you see.
That's backwards.
Watchlist Boosted Gives You Back Control
I got tired of scrolling through a disorganized mess to find something to watch. So I built the tool Netflix should have given you.
Sort by real ratings
IMDb, TMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic. See what's actually worth your time, not what Netflix wants to push.
Filter by type
Movies, TV shows, documentaries. One click.
Organize by genre
Without algorithm interference.
Search your own list instantly
A working search bar. Revolutionary, I know.
See your entire watchlist
In one clean view. No infinite scroll. No hidden titles.
Finally End the "What Should We Watch?" Standoff
You know the scene. You, your partner, maybe a friend on a video call. Forty-five minutes of scrolling. Nothing chosen. Snacks gone cold.
Watchlist Boosted lets you share your watchlist with multiple friends, so everyone can see what overlaps. Find the movie you all actually want to watch in minutes, not hours.
Date night. Family movie night. Long-distance friend hangout. Solved.
3 watchlists overlapping
3 titles everyone wants to watch
Sort Your Netflix My List Again
Netflix took the sort buttons away, so the only way to sort Netflix My List today is to take the list out of Netflix. Export your Netflix watchlist with a free browser extension, drop the file in here, and sort it by IMDb rating, year, runtime, or how long it has been sitting there.
The same works for Letterboxd, IMDb, JustWatch and Prime Video exports, and Simkl connects with one click and stays in sync.
Why It's Free
Simple: your watchlist is your data. You shouldn't pay twice to use it. Once to Netflix, and again to someone like me.
If Netflix won't give us a search bar that works or a basic sort button, we'll build our own. And we'll give it away.
Questions People Ask
How do I sort my Netflix My List?
Netflix removed the sort options from My List, so you cannot sort it inside Netflix any more. Export your Netflix watchlist with a free Chrome extension, import the file into Watchlist Boosted, and sort it by IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes rating, year, runtime or when you added it.
How do I export my Netflix watchlist?
Install the Netflix Watch List Manager extension in Chrome, open netflix.com/browse/my-list, and click Export. You get a JSON file you can drop straight into Watchlist Boosted. The full walkthrough is in the Netflix export guide.
Is Watchlist Boosted free?
Yes. There is no paywall and no premium tier. Your watchlist is your data, and you should not have to pay twice to use it.
Which services can I import from?
Netflix, Letterboxd, IMDb, JustWatch and Prime Video by file, Simkl by a one-click live connection, and any other list as a CSV. TV Time users can move their list via Simkl.
Where do the ratings come from?
IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores come from OMDb, and TMDB provides its own rating, posters, cast, trailers and streaming availability by country through JustWatch.
Can I share my watchlist with friends?
Yes. Share your list by email with as many people as you like, see which titles you have all saved, and compare ratings side by side.
