TMDB (https://www.themoviedb.org/) maybe? Don’t think it has an app though.

Will check.
A bit late, but keep in mind, TMDB is not FOSS and is owned and run by a private company.
Firefox works well. Its FOSS
Ok haha. But seriously though, any suggestions?
I am serious. I have no idea what more you're asking for, because I only access IMDb in a web browser, and I only use open source web browsers.
Maybe you could clarify?
Oh, ok. Sure... So, I agree that pretty much everything can be done via a browser. But sometimes, the website falls short. The 3rd party clients end up making the service much more usable.
Idk how to explain this better than say, Letterboxd. The app sucks ass. You can't select multiple movies and shows to add to a watchlist or a watched list. You can't perform bulk actions. The UI is terrible. The UX is worse. But if someone were able to make use of the database that letterboxd uses, then that would make my day.
I use tmdb. There are apps but none official so I use the website as a shortcut
Oh. Interesting... Will check.
trakt.tv or tmdb.org are common. I like the latter, it has better DB than the amazon-biased imdb..
Trakt is an Amazon product?
no, IMDb is. And between the alternatives given, I like TMDB.
Fair enough. Will try.
