#### Your movie and TV file library, with posters, ratings and summaries

MovieCat scans your folders for movie and TV files, recognises each title
from its file name and shows the poster, rating, year and a short summary.
No account, sign-up or API key needed.

* Understands messy release names, folder layouts, TV episodes and foreign titles
* Finds the folders that hold your movies and shows automatically
* Leaves out home videos, screen recordings and tutorials
* Rate titles yourself, search, filter and sort
* Fix a wrong match in seconds; play a file or show it in its folder with one click

Files in your home folder and on removable drives (/media, /mnt) can be
added. MovieCat is free and open source (MIT).
