There used to be a handy little application for managing your NetFlix queue called Netflix Fanatic. Unfortunately, it stopped being available a while ago, apparently after the author’s employer claimed that the app had been developed on company time and equipment.
However, now comes NetFlix Freak — all the goodness of NetFlix Fanatic, and then some.
- Drag and drop to rearrange movies in your queue
- Select two movies in your queue and swap their positions
- Shuffle your rental queue
- Fast searching of the Netflix DVD catalog
- Add multiple movies to your queue in one action
- Add new movies at the beginning of your queue, the end, or shuffle your queue automatically after new movies are added
- Keep track of who rented which movie in your household
- Import your entire rental history (not just the last 90 days)
…and much more.
