A powerful Chrome extension that completely transforms how you rate movies on IMDb by breaking down ratings into 5 distinct cinematic aspects.
🎯 Current Goal: $5 to pay the developer fee and officially publish FairRate to the Chrome Web Store!
Tired of giving a movie a flat "7/10" and forgetting why? FairRate replaces IMDb's default 1-10 star clicker with a beautiful, context-aware rating modal. It forces you to think critically about what you just watched by evaluating movies across 5 weighted categories.
FairRate completely syncs with your native IMDb account in the background—so you still get the official IMDb rating credit, but with a much richer personal database!
The FairRate UI seamlessly injected directly into IMDb's native movie pages.
The beautiful, context-aware rating modal with our 5 distinct cinematic categories.
Stunning, high-resolution rating cards generated dynamically for you to share online.
Quick-access popup menu with IMDb-matching aesthetics for importing/exporting your data.
Your personal local dashboard to search, view, and manage your entire rating history.
Create custom genre presets to assign custom weight multipliers based on your preferences.
- 🎬 Custom Rating Aspects: Rate movies based on our 5 default aspects (Enjoyment, Story, Characters, Technical, Emotional) or create your own completely custom rating categories for different genres!
- ⚖️ Custom Weighting: Are you an action junkie? Create custom genre presets in your dashboard that assign higher multipliers to Technical or Enjoyment scores!
- ☁️ Cloud Sync: Sign in with Google to automatically backup and sync your ratings and presets across devices!
- 📸 Beautiful Exportable Cards: Share your in-depth ratings on Twitter, Reddit, or Letterboxd with stunning, auto-generated rating cards featuring the official movie poster.
- 🔄 Auto-Syncs with IMDb: No double-work. Whatever your final weighted score is, FairRate automatically pushes that rating directly into IMDb's native system.
- 📊 Local Dashboard: View, search, and manage your entire rating history right inside the extension. Includes JSON import/export to keep your data safe.
