# Favly — The Link in Bio for Entertainment Lovers

> One link. Your whole vibe. Share your taste in movies, music, books, games, anime & more.

## What is Favly?

Favly is a free **link in bio** platform built specifically for entertainment and culture lovers. Unlike generic link-in-bio tools (like Linktree), Favly lets you build a personal taste page that showcases who you are through what you love — your favorite movies, music, books, games, anime, TV shows, documentaries, and more.

Your Favly link (`favly.me/u/yourname`) works as a link in bio on any platform: Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Threads, Discord, dating apps, and beyond.

## How Favly differs from a generic link-in-bio tool

A generic link-in-bio page holds a list of URLs. A Favly page holds the works themselves —
each movie, game, album or book is an entry with its cover, your rating, and your note, pulled
from the same catalogs the rest of the internet uses (TMDB, IGDB, Google Books, and others).

Two things follow from that which a link list cannot do: visitors can see what you actually
like without clicking through to anywhere else, and the works are shared objects, so other
people's profiles and the public work pages are browsable and comparable.

## Content Categories

1. **Movies** — Film favorites (powered by TMDB)
2. **TV Shows** — Television series preferences (powered by TMDB)
3. **Music** — Musical taste and favorite artists
4. **Books** — Reading lists and literary favorites (powered by Google Books)
5. **Games** — Video game collections (powered by IGDB)
6. **Anime** — Anime series and films (powered by TMDB)
7. **Documentaries** — Documentary preferences (powered by TMDB)
8. **YouTube Channels** — Favorite content creators
9. **Sports** — Sports interests and teams
10. **Podcasts** — Favorite podcasts (powered by iTunes Search API)
