In short

How do I see which films the people I follow rated highly this week?

WebRun turns your Letterboxd circle into a weekly shortlist. Every Monday it reads seven days of activity from the members you follow, collects the films they rated highly, queues each one as a Trello card for you to confirm, and sends the shortlist to WhatsApp with who rated what.

  • One short weekly list instead of scrolling a whole feed
  • Films two or more friends loved rise to the top
  • Nothing joins your watchlist without you confirming it

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it add films to my watchlist on its own?

No. Every suggestion lands as a Trello card in a To confirm list. Your Letterboxd watchlist only changes when you decide to add a title yourself.

Does it post, like, or comment on Letterboxd?

No. WebRun only reads the activity feed of members you already follow. It never rates a film, writes a review, follows an account, or leaves a comment.

Can I control what counts as highly rated?

Yes. Set your threshold, for example four stars and up, and WebRun only collects entries at or above it. You can also limit it to a shorter list of members.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
