Automated Letterboxd Watchlist Digests

Every Friday, WebRun opens your Letterboxd watchlist, reads the streaming availability shown on each film's page for your region, builds a shortlist of what you can actually watch tonight, posts it to your film club channel in Microsoft Teams, and sends you the top few picks on Telegram.

In short

How do I find out which of my watchlist films are streaming?

WebRun works through your Letterboxd watchlist every Friday and checks the streaming availability listed on each film page for your region. It posts the streamable shortlist to your film club channel in Microsoft Teams and sends your three strongest picks on Telegram, so choosing a film takes seconds.

  • A ready shortlist every Friday instead of scrolling the watchlist
  • Only films you can actually stream tonight make the list
  • Long-neglected watchlist entries finally surface

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it post reviews or ratings to my Letterboxd profile?

No. WebRun only reads your watchlist and the film pages. It never logs a film, writes a review, rates anything, or changes your public profile in any way.

How does it know what I can stream?

It reads the streaming services Letterboxd already lists on each film page for your region, so the shortlist reflects what the site itself shows rather than a guess.

What if nothing on my watchlist is streaming?

You still get a message saying so, plus the films that came closest, so you never have to open the app to find out the answer is nothing.

Put this on autopilot.

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