Movie Monkey

Movie Monkey is a cool app that helps you keep track of all your favorite films. We all know you’ve probably watched your top movies more than once, right? But let’s face it, digging through DVDs can be a bit of a hassle. That’s where Movie Monkey comes in! It lets you build a database of all the titles you own and neatly organizes them into categories.

Easy to Use Design

The layout is super simple, so everything you need is right at your fingertips. There’s a handy side panel for quick access to different categories and plenty of space to see each movie title clearly.

Getting Started with Movie Management

But here’s the catch: you’ll need to have your movies stored on your hard drive with the right metadata and tags for the app to recognize them. Unfortunately, just dragging files into the window won’t cut it; you have to select a folder for Movie Monkey to scan.

Finding Your Movies

If everything goes smoothly, it pulls in data from IMDb and sorts your movie into the right category. You can always check these categories from that handy side panel.

List Management Features

Your detected movies will show up in a list format, and if any info is missing, there are options to change names or skip adding them altogether. Plus, there’s a built-in search bar just for finding titles locally!

Limitations of Movie Monkey

Now, here’s something important: there aren’t any editing tools available within the app. You can’t move titles between categories either—each title is just listed with its name and cover art (and this works best when you're online!). Exporting lists or launching titles directly isn’t an option either.

The Bottom Line

All things considered, Movie Monkey falls short as a comprehensive movie manager. It has some neat features but lacks deeper editing options like personal notes or changing cover art. If you're looking for something robust, you might want to explore other options available here.
