Oddbit Studios — Independent Software - Catalog, search, and discover your personal movie library

Film Forge scans your drives, fetches metadata from OMDb, and catalogs your entire movie collection in a local SQLite database. Rate movies, track what you've watched, and browse from any browser via the built-in web server. No subscriptions. No cloud. Your movies, your data. Free download for Windows.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Todd, the developer behind Oddbit Studios. Film Forge started as a personal project , I have a massive local movie collection and couldn't find a tool that was simple enough to actually use but powerful enough to handle a library of nearly 1,000 files. So I built one. The thing I'm most proud of is how it balances simplicity with depth. You can be up and running in five minutes with just an OMDb API key, or you can go deep, deploy the web interface to Railway, set up a custom domain, and access your collection from anywhere in the world. A few things I'd love feedback on: Does the web interface feel intuitive? Is the Railway deployment workflow clear enough for non-developers? What features would you want to see in v3.8? The Windows installer is ready to go and the full source is on GitHub. There's also a live demo at filmforge.oddbitstudios.com if you want to see it in action before downloading. Thanks for checking it out, and if it saves you from ever asking "wait, do I already own this movie?" then it's done its job. — Todd / Oddbit Studios
