Films goes film by film and answers "what should I see?", under four headings: Now playing, Coming soon, Watchlist and Programs. Now playing lists every film playing in the next two weeks, with where it's on, how long its run lasts and a bar for each day's showtimes; dotted days are ones the theater hasn't posted yet. Pick a day on the strip for that day's times at every theater, or Later for films booked after the next two weeks. A pill beside a title says where you stand: Going Tue, Interested or On watchlist. Narrow the list with Watchlist, New releases, Repertory or Last chance, sort it with Order, and find more under More filters. New this week, at the top, shows this week's new releases. The search box at the top narrows the list as you type. Tap a film for its details and every showtime.

The new releases ahead: films opening in theaters after the next two weeks, month by month, soonest first; Order switches to Most anticipated. Each says when it opens and where it's booked, or that it is Not booked in NYC yet. Tap the heart to add one to your watchlist, and you'll get an email when a theater books it. Festival dates, events and one-night screenings are under Now playing → Later.

Tap the heart on any film to add it to your watchlist. For a film no list shows, search for it at the top of Films → Watchlist. The Watchlist puts your new releases first, with their showtimes and runs or when they open; older films from your list show under Also playing when a theater has them on. You get at most one email a day, when a film on your watchlist is booked somewhere new — turn that off in Account → Settings → Emails.

Festivals, retrospectives and series at the theaters, from today on. Where a theater describes a program, its own words come first, with a link to its page. Open a program for its films, with their dates and theaters. The search box narrows programs by name or film.

The Schedule answers "when and where?", theater by theater and hour by hour: every screening for the next two weeks under Day, and your own plans under Plans. Pick a day on the strip. On a computer, the Guide shows theaters down the side and the hours across, a block for each showing; tap one to open the film, and nothing is marked until you choose. Today it starts at now, and Earlier brings back the whole day. On a phone, Up next lists the day in time order from now on. By theater lists each theater with its films and times. Under the strip are the borough, the theater order and three filters, Watchlist, New this week and Hide wide releases; More filters holds the rest. The search box at the top narrows the day as you type.

Plans lists the showtimes you marked Interested or Going, by week, by date or by film. Press Going on the one you're committing to; press it again to move it back to Interested, or use the cross to remove it. A Going plan adds Tickets, Calendar and Invite, and plans that overlap get a note. Add to calendar subscribes your calendar app to your Going plans, so new ones appear there by themselves. Invites from friends wait at the top; Seen, the films you went to, and the invites you accepted fold up at the foot.

Tap any showtime to mark it Interested — it fills and takes a bookmark 7:30pm, and its Going, Tickets and Invite open right under it. Tap it again to clear it. A showtime you're going to takes a ticket 7:30pm; tapping it only opens its row, so nothing is undone by accident. Everything you mark gathers under Schedule → Plans.

New marks a film first listed in the last 24 hours — newly booked, not necessarily a new release. New this week means a new release that opened in the last week or opens in the next, or any other film first listed this week. Last chance marks a run that ends within the next three days. Sold-out showtimes are struck through. You get at most one email a day, when a film on your watchlist is booked somewhere new — turn that off in Account → Settings → Emails.

Share your friend link from Account → Friends in a text, an email or anywhere else. Anyone who opens it can ask to be your friend, and you accept or decline each request there. Friends see the showtimes you're going to from today on, never the ones you've only marked Interested. Tap Invite on a showtime or a Going plan to ask friends along, with an optional note; they'll find it at the top of Schedule → Plans and get an email about it. You can remove a friend in Account → Friends at any time, and New link there stops your old link from working.

A midnight movie is listed on the evening it belongs to: a 12:30am show on Friday's list sits at the end of Friday, marked late, and lands on Saturday in your calendar. The day moves on at 4 AM.

Connect your Letterboxd username in Account → Settings → Letterboxd and Dailies hides the new releases you've already seen; a second switch hides older films you've seen this year too. Films on your watchlist and showings you've marked are never hidden, and Films says how many it hid, with Show to bring them back. You can import your Letterboxd watchlist or a list there too. To add the films you've seen through Dailies to your Letterboxd diary, download them from Schedule → Plans → Seen, then import the file on Letterboxd.

Tap the hide button on any film in Films, or in a film's details, to hide it everywhere. To bring one back, go to Account → Settings → Hidden films.

On the day strips, a slate dot means you have Interested showtimes that day; a brass dot means you're going to something that day.

Pick the order of the Schedule's theaters under Theaters: Preferred (your own order, set with the arrows in Account → Theaters), Neighborhood, Nearest (from your ZIP code) or A to Z. Tap the heart beside a theater in Account → Theaters to make it a favorite; My theaters, under More filters, shows only your favorites.

Dailies follows your device's appearance; pick Light or Dark under Account → Settings → Appearance to pin it on this device.

Yes — a free account keeps your plans, watchlist and preferences in sync across devices. Sign up with your email and a password, then confirm your address from the email we send. Forgot your password? Tap Forgot password? on the sign-in screen and we'll email you a link to choose a new one.

What Dailies keeps. Your email address and password, to sign you in (the password is stored scrambled, so nobody can read it). Then what you do here, so it is the same on every device: the name you set, your plans, watchlist, hidden films, Seen log, favorite theaters, theater order and ZIP code, your email settings and calendar link, your friend link, friends, friend requests and invites, and, if you connect it, your Letterboxd name and the diary entries Dailies reads. Bug reports you send carry where you were in the app and your browser. Dailies runs no ads or analytics and sets no cookies; your browser keeps your sign-in.

Who sees it. You. Friends see your name and the showtimes you mark Going from today on: never the ones you mark Interested, your past plans or your email address. Before you're friends, anyone with your friend link sees your name, and when you use someone's link, only they see yours. Nobody else sees anything of yours; the person who runs Dailies can see the database, to keep it working.

Emails. Two kinds are on when you sign up: at most one a day when a film on your watchlist is booked, and one when someone asks to be your friend or invites you to a showing. Turn either off in Account → Settings → Emails, or with Unsubscribe in any of them. Account emails (confirming your address, resetting your password) always go.

Who else handles it. Supabase stores it all and signs you in. Resend sends the emails. Vercel serves the site and Upstash counts requests to stop abuse; both keep request details only briefly. Your browser asks TMDB for posters and film details, and for the titles you search for or import from a Letterboxd watchlist (TMDB sees your IP address). With Nearest as your theater order, your ZIP code goes to zippopotam.us to find where it is. With Letterboxd connected, Dailies reads your public diary feed from Letterboxd. Trailers play from YouTube when you press play. Anthropic's Claude is asked which film a theater's new listing is, and sees only the theaters' public listings, never anything of yours.

How long, and deleting it. Everything stays until you remove it or delete your account. Delete my account, in Account → Settings, deletes your account and all of the above at once; bug reports you sent stay, no longer tied to you. Disconnect in Account → Settings → Letterboxd deletes what Dailies read there. Questions, or anything you'd like corrected or deleted: contact@dailies.film.

BAM, Metrograph, IFC Center, Film Forum, Film at Lincoln Center, Nitehawk (Williamsburg & Prospect Park), Angelika (Houston, Village East & Cinema 123), Quad Cinema, Roxy Cinema, Cobble Hill Cinemas, Alamo Drafthouse (Brooklyn & Lower Manhattan), and Spectacle.

Dailies lists each theater's showtimes from the schedule on its own website, links every showtime to the theater's own ticketing, and names the theater with a link to its site. To correct something, or to have your theater removed from Dailies, write to contact@dailies.film. A theater that asks to be removed will be.

Dailies searches each theater's own schedule twice a day, and the Updated time at the foot of the page says when it last did. If a theater's times may be out of date, they're labeled with when they're from.

Showtimes come from each theater's own listings. Film details and posters come from TMDB. This website uses TMDB and the TMDB APIs but is not endorsed, certified, or otherwise approved by TMDB. Questions or a theater we're missing: contact@dailies.film.
