News & updates released in 2025 (page 2)
In the past 3 months, most of the dev team (Pim, Bernard, Michiel and AJ) have been working on big updates for CLZ Movies, both Web and Mobile.
And this update is now live for your CLZ Movies Web software!
It started out as a relatively small update in which we would add some new fields (just like we did for the books and music apps recently). However, the update has grown into a huge major upgrade, with several big new features that have been on our “to do” list for many years:
- Editable episode lists for TV Series
- Watch history: track multiple watch dates for your movies
- Add your own YouTube trailer links
- Extra fields for Box Sets: Purchase Price/Date/Store and Notes
- A new “Features” fields, to track available features for DVD/BR/4K
- The HDR field now allows multiple values, e.g. HDR10 *and* Dolby Vision
Check out some screenshots below!
Fixed:
- Adding a book without ISBN would cause it to get unlinked during syncing (which in turn could make it lose the cover)

It’s August 30, so here’s the CLZ Newsletter for August 2025.
We started the month with the promised update for the CLZ Comics mobile app, in which we take the most popular feature, Adding Comics by Scanning Covers, to the next level.
For the rest of the month, most of the dev team (Pim, Bernard, Michiel and AJ) have been working on the upcoming updates for CLZ Movies, both mobile and web.
It started out as a relatively small update in which we would add some new fields (just like we did for the books and music apps recently). However, the update has grown into a huge major upgrade, with several big new features that have been on our “to do” list for many years.
It will bring: editable episode lists, add your own youtube trailers, a full watch history with multiple watch dates, and more! Check out the Sneak Preview below (with screenshots!).
Finally, lead developer Sven is preparing for the biggest CLZ Web project in recent years. Something users have been requesting for ages. But also a project we have been procrastinating for ages too, if only for the size and complexity. But it is finally going to happen this year.
I can’t tell you what it is yet, but if you have been with us for a while, you can probably guess what it is :-).
The topics today:
- CLZ Comics 10.3 (mobile): Easier and faster Adding by Cover!
- Sneak Preview: CLZ Movies updates (web and mobile) with many new fields

It’s alive! It’s alive! NCBD is here once more
The legend begins! The Norse Myths tell of Gods who walked the Earth, doing great deeds for the mortals who believed in them. But Asgard isn’t real, and never was. The Gods never soared in our skies, never stood with our heroes, never fought for kindness or justice. It was all just a story. Nobody’s coming to help us. But somewhere in the city… a man is waking up. A man with a hammer. The Mortal Thor #1. Written by Al Ewing and art by Pasqual Ferry.
Universal Monsters: The Invisible Man #1 Jack Griffin has always been invisible to the people around him, at least in his own mind. But when an experimental breakthrough presents a path to make his dreams of invisibility a reality, no one, not even the woman he loves will stand in his way. Witness Griffin’s legendary descent into madness as his humanity fades away and the monster inside is revealed, leaving only… The Invisible Man! The horror dream team of James Tynion IV and DaNi reveal their vision for one of the most horrific monsters in cinematic history!
Humanity broke the barrier between our universe and our universe’s shadow. From the void came horrific apparitions that craved nothing but destruction. But from this terror… a legend was born. A warrior who found a way to access the energy that binds our universe and the shadow universe, transforming him into a cosmic dark knight. This immortal legend was named Batman. He fought to keep us safe but then one day abandoned the war. Though he didn’t disappear entirely. Now they say he hunts a rogues gallery of monsters… born from the shadows! Immortal Legend Batman #1
