Notion Watchlist Template
The Notion Watchlist Template is a clean, minimalist dashboard designed to help you track everything you watch, plan to watch, or have already enjoyed — from movies and series to documentaries and podcasts.
⚙️ Key Features of the Notion Watchlist Template
Forget endless lists scattered across platforms — now, everything lives in one organized space.
🎞 Organized by Media Type
Separate and filter your content by movies, series, documentaries, or podcasts, all in one place.
Create custom views for each category to keep your dashboard visually clean.
🏷 Smart Tagging & Genres
Use multi-select tags for genres like Thriller, Drama, Sci-Fi, Comedy, or Documentary.
Quickly find similar titles or discover what kind of content you enjoy most.
⭐ Rating System
Track what you love. Add 1–5 star ratings and sort your watchlist by favorites.
Ideal for building your own “Top 10” or yearly favorites list.
🎥 Platform Integration
Track where to watch — Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV, Spotify, etc.
Save time searching when you’re ready to relax.
🔁 Thematic Collections
Group your movies or series into collections — like 90s Thrillers, Feel-Good Series, or Indie Award Winners.
Each collection can have its own cover and progress tracking.
How works the Notion watchlist
Step 1: Add Your First Items
Start by adding your favorite shows, movies, or documentaries. Each entry includes fields for director, platform, and notes.
Step 2: Customize Your Views
Create personalized views — “Currently Watching”, “New Releases”, or “Favorites of the Year”.
Step 3: Track & Reflect
Use the rating and notes section to remember what stood out to you and why.
📊 Watchlog: Track What You’ve Watched — Automatically
A smarter way to keep your movie history up to date
Every time you finish a movie or episode, just click the “Add to Watchlog” button directly from your Watchlist. A new log entry is automatically created and linked to that title — no manual tracking needed.
Count re-watches and see your habits evolve
Each Watchlog entry represents one viewing, so the template automatically keeps a counter of how many times you’ve watched each film or series. Over time, you’ll see your true favorites emerge — not just the ones you think you like, but the ones you actually return to.
Get instant insights at a glance
With rollups built into the main database, you can:
- See how many times you’ve watched each title
- View the date of your last viewing
- Instantly spot new favorites or forgotten classics
Designed for effortless tracking
The Watchlog system works seamlessly in the background — it’s fast, visual, and requires zero maintenance. Just hit the button, and your data stays perfectly organized.
Organize your movies… and your life with the personal planner
The All-in-One Notion Planner includes this Watchlist Template along with integrated systems for goals, tasks, and planning — giving you a complete productivity ecosystem in Notion.
