Keep the list link available and decide where movies and shows should go after the sync step. If the workflow uses Radarr or Sonarr, have those tools ready before choosing a sync option. Radarr and Sonarr help manage movie and show additions, so check how the chosen option connects with them. Review the list before syncing. Remove titles that should not be included and decide whether a shared list should contain one person's choices or several people's choices. Check what information the sync option uses and what access it needs. A clear list source and a clear destination make it easier to understand what happens after a title is found. ## Step by step 1. Create or choose the public IMDb watchlist or list that contains the saved titles. 2. Decide whether the sync should create separate movie and show lists or use another method. Check the destination before sending titles through the workflow. 3. Pick a tool that matches the way the titles need to move. Review whether it can read the chosen IMDb list type and how it handles titles it cannot identify. 4. Connect the chosen workflow if required. Follow the tool's instructions for access, and review what information is shared between services. 5. Run the sync and check the resulting movie and show entries. Look for skipped titles, missing matches, or items that need review. 6. Keep the IMDb list updated when new titles are saved. Review the sync results after list changes so the movie and show workflow stays aligned with the current list. 7. If other people use the same setup, explain which list to update and how changes move into the movie or show workflow. ## Tools that can do it Watcharr is made by the team that publishes this site. Watcharr lets an IMDb list become two links, with one link for Radarr movies and one link for Sonarr shows after a public IMDb list is pasted. [^1] Each link acts like a small Radarr or Sonarr server, so Radarr checks it every 15 minutes and Sonarr checks it every 5 minutes. [^1] Watcharr accepts any public IMDb watchlist or list from the desktop site, the phone site or IMDb's other-language pages. [^1] A sticker can add the list inside Radarr or Sonarr using that app's API key without sending it anywhere else. [^1] A manual list process is another option. It can be used by copying titles into the chosen movie or show workflow, but the steps depend on the tools selected. Before choosing an option, check how it handles list sources, title matching, updates, and access permissions. ## Common mistakes to avoid Avoid syncing a list before checking whether the titles are the ones wanted in the final movie and show workflow. Avoid choosing a sync option without checking how it handles titles that cannot be matched. A missing match can change which items appear after syncing. Avoid forgetting to review access settings. Check what accounts, keys, or connections a tool needs before allowing it to work with a movie or show workflow. Avoid assuming every list update works the same way. Check the refresh method and how failed reads or changed lists are handled before relying on the process. ## Frequently asked questions ### How can IMDb watchlist users sync saved titles?
