Cloud backup, your devices kept level, and your shows in your calendar
- Cloud backup. One copy of everything you have tracked, kept off your phone —
on our server, or on one you run yourself. It is the only copy that crosses between an
iPhone and an Android, which no other backup here can do.
- Your devices, kept level. Tick an episode on one and it is ticked on the other.
What travels is the intent, not the library — so the things you take back cross
too, which a backup file can never express.
- Your shows in your calendar. Upcoming episodes written into the calendar you
already check, rather than a screen you have to remember to open.
- Ask Siri. What is next, mark it watched, have I seen this film.
- Ratings got a home. A chart of how you actually rate, a grid worth posting, and
a page of their own.
- A favourite character for every episode — the way the question was always asked,
and the way it is now finally kept.
- Trakt and Simkl. Two more histories you can bring with you.
- The three a stranger found in an hour. The app was posted somewhere unfriendly
and the first reply was three bugs, all fair: the buzzing could not be turned off, A–Z
filed "The Great" under T, and the filter buttons hid under Android's navigation bar.
All three are fixed.
Rolling out on Android. The iOS build is with Apple.
1.6.2
7 September 2026Shipped
Wrapped redesigned, Jellyfin, and a server you can run yourself
- Wrapped, rebuilt. Every month and every year now gets its own card rather than
the same layout with different numbers in it, and a year no longer looks like a long
month.
- Jellyfin. Connect a Jellyfin server and episodes you watch there tick themselves
off here, the way Plex already did. It only ever reads, and only episodes of shows you
already follow.
- All aired. The shows whose every episode exists — the ones you could actually
finish this weekend, rather than catch up on and then wait.
- The feelings calendar became a profile block. A year of days coloured by how
each one felt, on the profile rather than buried a screen away.
- Your own server. The community half is open source and self-hostable, and the
app has a setting to point at your own instance. Tracking never needed a server at all;
this is only about the optional community.
- Plus ends when it ends. A subscription that lapses stops being Plus, and takes
nothing with it — every theme, list and statistic you made stays exactly where it is.
On Android now. The iOS build is with Apple.

1 September 2026Shipped
A light theme, Memories, and Plex
- A light theme, free for everyone. A subscriber said the dark interface was hard
for them to read, so this is legibility rather than decoration. Settings → App → Theme:
Light, Dark, or follow your phone.
- Memories. What you were watching on this day in every earlier year, with the
artwork, and an optional reminder when there is something to see.
- Plex. Connect a Plex server and episodes you watch there tick themselves off here.
It only ever adds episodes of shows you already follow, and never writes back to Plex.
- Your TV Time name. One export can now claim one profile, so the same file cannot
be used to take name after name.
- The startup repair screen stopped appearing on every single launch.
1.5.0
30 August 2026Shipped
Shared lists, profile widgets, and OpenTV Plus
- Shared lists. A list two people build together, where every row says who added it.
- Profile widgets. The profile became blocks you arrange yourself instead of one fixed layout.
- Live translation of comments written in a language you do not read.
- OpenTV Plus. Optional, and it buys extras — unlimited lists and favourites, the accent
colour, OLED black, custom app icons. Tracking, importing and exporting stay free, permanently.
1.4.1 & 1.4.2
18 August 2026Shipped
A backup Android actually has
- Google Drive backup. iPhones had silent iCloud backup since 1.1; Android had a button
you were asked to remember to press. Same schedule, same file, same restore — Android just
had further to travel.
- 1.4.2 was a same-week fix: opening somebody's profile could crash the app.
1.4.0
15 August 2026Shipped
Wrapped, filters, and private accounts
- Wrapped — a monthly and yearly look back at what you watched, free, calculated on the phone.
- Private accounts, and control over which shows other people can see.
- Advanced filtering across your library, and a page for every actor.
- The app went open source, so the import pipeline stays available to whoever needs it.
The community
1.3.0 & 1.3.1
11–13 August 2026Shipped
Comments, ratings and people — all optional
- Sign in with Google or Apple, pick a username, and comment on episodes, rate them and follow people.
- Skip it and nothing changes. The tracker never contacts a server, and your episode-by-episode
history stays on the phone whether you join or not.
- 1.3.1 arrived two days later with the fixes the first real day of traffic found.
The tracker
1.2.1
7 August 2026Shipped
Six languages
English, Arabic — properly right-to-left, not mirrored text in a left-to-right layout —
French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
1.2.0
30 July 2026Shipped
TheTVDB, lists, sharing and iPad
- TheTVDB became the main source of show information, which fixed a long tail of
anime and older series that were matching to the wrong thing.
- Custom lists, share cards, iPad layouts, and an offline cache that means the app works on a plane.
1.1.9
24 July 2026Shipped
Rescuing photos from a CDN that was switching off
Photos attached to old TV Time comments lived on TV Time's servers. This release pulled
them down onto the phone while they were still there to pull.
1.1.8
20 July 2026Shipped
A faster import, and one worth watching
The import got several times quicker and grew a live count of the shows, episodes and films
landing as they land. Also: custom lists, a poster picker, and character art for anime.
1.1.4 – 1.1.7
17–18 July 2026Shipped
The first week after launch
- Episode notifications, an upcoming schedule, trending, and filters.
- Deleting a show properly, so it stayed deleted, and a counter that stopped drifting when
you unmarked a season.
- Imports became resumable — closing the app halfway no longer meant starting again.
1.0 – 1.1.0
9–12 July 2026Shipped
Hand it the ZIP
The first release. Read a TV Time export — every show, episode, watch date, rating and
comment — and rebuild all of it in a database on your own phone, with no account anywhere.
Everything above is built on this.
