The AI workspace for your movie notes

The AI workspace for your movie notes

You watch a film. It's extraordinary. You think about it for days. You want to remember the specific shot that struck you, the line of dialogue that landed, the way it handled a theme you've been thinking about. But the review stays in your head. The watchlist is in Letterboxd. The recommendation from a friend is in a text thread. The article about the director's technique is in a browser tab you closed. The quote you loved is in your memory, fading. Six months later, someone asks if you've seen anything good and you can remember maybe three of the last twenty films you watched.

Fabric turns your film life into a searchable library. Reviews, watchlists, quotes, recommendations, articles about craft, and your own reflections, all in one place, all searchable by theme, genre, mood, and meaning.

Search by theme, mood, and meaning

AI search finds any film note by meaning. "The one about grief with the long single take" finds your note about the film. "Every film I thought was beautifully shot" finds the reviews where you noted the cinematography. "Movies that deal with family secrets" finds your notes on every film that explored that theme. "The line about time from the French film" finds the quote. The search understands what you're looking for, not just keywords.

Write reviews and reflections

Write film notes in notes and docs. They don't need to be formal reviews. A few sentences about what struck you, what worked, what didn't, what it reminded you of. The value is in having the reaction captured and searchable. Three months later, "what did I think of that Coen brothers film" finds the note.

Record a voice note walking out of the cinema. Your spoken reaction is transcribed and searchable by what you said. The impression is captured before it fades.

Save recommendations and watchlists

Save recommendations from friends, critics, newsletters, and social media into one searchable watchlist. Clip articles about films with the web clipper. Forward recommendation emails to email-to-note. The "you should watch this" from six sources converges in one searchable list.

The AI remembers what you've watched

The AI assistant works from your film library. Ask it to recommend something from your watchlist based on your mood. Ask it what you've watched that deals with a specific theme. Ask it to find the film a friend recommended last month. Ask it to surface your favourite films from the last year based on your notes. It knows your taste because it's read your reflections.

Annotate with craft notes

For filmmakers and film students, annotations let you add craft-specific notes: "the lighting in the third act is all practicals," "the sound design carries the tension more than the score," "study the blocking in the dinner scene." These notes are searchable across your film library, so "every film where I noted interesting sound design" produces a study resource.

Canvas for visual references

The canvas lets you arrange film stills, notes, and references spatially. Build a reference board for a project. Lay out a director's visual evolution. Create a watchlist board with trailers, stills, and recommendations.

Organised by genre, theme, and your rating

Smart organization groups films by genre, theme, and content of your notes. Thrillers cluster together. Films you loved sort separately from ones you were lukewarm about. Director filmographies emerge without manual tagging.

Who uses Fabric for movie notes
