About the export/re-import loop

Your data is yours. KinoChain supports full data export at any time — diary, ratings, reviews, lists, and chains. If you ever want to leave, you take everything with you.

And because KinoChain supports importing from multiple sources, you can maintain a presence on Letterboxd and KinoChain simultaneously — import to sync, export to keep a backup. No lock-in.
