## What is Sofa?

Featured by Apple as “App of the Day”

9to5Mac: “I've found Sofa to be a delight to use.”
MacStories: “My favorite app to manage my media watchlist.”
iMore: “A great way to organize everything from your games to your books.”

————————

Sofa helps you enjoy your downtime by tracking your shows episode by episode, playing your podcasts, planning your trips, and a bunch of other stuff. All in one app.

ORGANIZE WITH LISTS AND GROUPS
Add unlimited lists and groups for categorizing all your stuff: books, games, movies, shows, podcasts, and more.

A HIGHLY FLEXIBLE PROGRESS TRACKING EXPERIENCE
A show you started last month. A book on your nightstand. A game you keep meaning to get back to. Sofa helps you keep track of all of it. Progress rings show up on covers so you can see where you stand at a glance.

A FULL-FEATURED PODCAST PLAYER
Track podcasts and listen to them in the same app. Save a show, queue up episodes, and hit play without switching apps.

A PLANNER FOR TRIPS, TASKS, AND YOUR TV SCHEDULE TOO
The hotel confirmation is in your email. The restaurant list is in Notes. The flight info is in a screenshot somewhere. The Planner puts all of that in one event with day-by-day itineraries, budget scenarios, live weather, and file attachments.

• Tasks with due dates, priorities, and reminders.
• Sticky notes for ideas without a date.
• TV episodes and release dates appear on the timeline automatically.

RIDICULOUSLY POWERFUL LISTS
• Todo Lists or Collection Lists. Hide completed items or keep everything visible.
• Group by genre, author, platform, release year, or custom fields.
• Data Cards show ratings, runtimes, and metadata right on the item.
• Multi-select to move, pin, complete, or remove items in bulk.
• Smart Lists with dozens of filters that auto-populate based on your library.
• Custom fields called Ingredients for your own ratings, tags, and filters.

YOUR DOWNTIME HISTORY
The Logbook catches everything you finish. A Stats dashboard shows activity timelines, genre breakdowns, and year-over-year comparisons.

PLUS WIDGETS, UNIFIED SEARCH, SHORTCUTS ACTIONS, AND MORE
• Widgets with progress rings on your Home and Lock Screen. 
• Unified Search across your library and new content. 
• Dozens of Shortcuts actions.

### 1/5 — Feature bloat

*2026-07-25, version 5.2.1*

It is now so complex with so many features and no thought through UI that it is increasingly unusable. I can’t work out how to record the fact that I have seen a movie or a TV show

### 5/5 — Everything I Ever Wanted

*2026-07-17, version 5.2.1*

Genuinely this is my favorite tracking app for all of my media. I love being able to track books, movies, shows, albums, etc all in one place, and the stats function is brilliant. The developer is truly so kind and takes all user feedback seriously, which is so rare nowadays. Thank you Sofa for making me enjoy my hobbies even more!!

### 1/5 — No video games!

*2026-07-10*

I downloaded it for video games. especially console games. But the search doesn’t work for that. Useless app for gamers.

**Developer response:** Video games are working again. It was brief interruption…sorry about that!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for all your tracking needs

*2026-07-09, version 5.2*

The 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2 updates have been incredible and I no longer need several apps to track my books, tv shows, music, games, and podcasts. The developer has been responsive and added features I’ve asked for too. Worth your subscription for sure.

### 5/5 — Just gets better

*2026-07-07, version 5.2*

Super engaged developer, every update brings carefully thought out enhancements. Love it!

### 1/5 — Hard to use interface, many books can’t be matched from goodreads

*2026-06-21, version 5.1*

Settings is buried under lists, why? And when you first open the app it advertises a bunch of new features then gives no explanation on how to use them. This app is really annoying to use. Once I finally figured out how to import goodreads, hundreds of my books did not have matches despite them being popular bestsellers from the last few years. And with these items without a match, there is no option to search for the item to match or create a custom item. It just suggests a couple items to match which are never correct.

### 2/5 — Basic??

*2026-06-20, version 5.1*

At its core, this is a very basic app. While it does bring all your media together in one place, it doesn’t really stand out. When you add movies, there are no community or critic reviews… just a summary and cast information. You can create “recipes” to add your own ratings and other details, but the overall experience feels limited.

The app reminds me of the early days of the App Store, when simply having the basic functionality was enough. It works, but it lacks the depth, features, and community elements that many similar apps offer today. Not worth the subscription.

### 4/5 — Solid, some bugs

*2026-06-10, version 5.1*

App meets my needs for the most part but something like manual sorting items might need to be looked at. It doesn’t work me.

### 4/5 — Room for Improvement

*2026-06-09*

Overall, I think the app is close to what I’ve been looking for but I feel like with many others there’s too much the app is trying to do.

I think if the app was more focused on movie night, family event planning, game night planning, and travel planning that it would elevate my experience with it. For example, I have no interest in adding “apps to check out” or “podcasts”, but what I have interest in is a better optimized planner where I can add episodes or movies we plan to watch using the app’s UI instead of manually typing things out/adding the cover art, etc. This would also create better logging since the stats don’t seem to show even when I manually log an episode.

I’ve been using notes for movie night planning for so long and I would like an easier system but right now, this app is creating more work even though I do like the overall feel to it and the ability to share the event page with family. The countdown is also nice but again, without some improvements, it’s a lot of work.

### 1/5 — A once-great, simple app ruined by update.

*2026-06-07, version 5.1*

The simplicity and ease of use that made me recommend this app to EVERYONE is gone.  It’s a bloated mess that wants to do everything - including playing podcasts. WHY? Why would anyone use this for listening to podcasts?? Everything that made it great is gone, and the very few options they added that looks interesting is now behind a paywall.  

So very sad to see a truly great and simple app get destroyed in one single update.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 5.2.2 — 2026-07-30

Hey gang, I've got a ton of improvements and fixes in this release. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

IMPORTING IMPROVEMENTS
============================
- Sofa now remembers your last 10 imports in Settings → Data Management — undo any of them individually, with a heads-up if a newer import touched the same items.
- Trakt imports now respect dropped shows (→ Did Not Finish) and mark fully-caught-up shows as Watched instead of flooding Enjoying. New episodes that aired after you finished show up as new content.
- If an import matched the wrong movie, show, book, or game, tap it to search and pick the right one.

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
============================
- Improvements to checking and updating tracked TV shows.
- Finishing a show you've bailed on (or the new "Stop Showing" option) now keeps it out of Enjoying, Returns Soon, and the Planner. Reversible anytime via Resume Watching.
- Custom items can now be added directly to your Logbook, with a date and time of your choosing.
- Event countdowns now show the true number of days for far-future events.
- Podcast chapters are now generated from more show-notes formats.
- Timestamps in podcast show notes are now tappable — tap one to jump the player to that spot.

SHORTCUTS
============================
- Start Tracking now takes a Total, a starting Current Value, and a Checkpoint Type.
- Update Counter has a new Set Total mode, so you can fix or change the goal on something you're already tracking and change the unit at the same time ("set total of Dune to 48 chapters").

BUG FIXES
============================
- Podcast playback position getting lost or rewound when syncing between devices.
- Manually sorted list items could jump to different positions.
- Completed show could show up in Enjoying if its episode data couldn't be fetched during import.
- Shows not reappearing in Enjoying when new episodes air.
- Finished shows no longer get stuck as "Caught Up" when a series ends after you added it — they now complete and land in your Logbook automatically, including when you mark the last episode via widgets, Shortcuts, or the Logbook.
- Tapping Sticky Note on an item you'd logged before could open and edit an older copy's note instead of creating one for the current item.
- Adding a podcast to the Logbook a second time moved the existing entry's date instead of adding a new one. 
- A podcast followed and logged on the same day could be misread as "not new" and pull a full batch of episodes on its first refresh instead of one.
- Video game search returning odd results when the query had a trailing space.
- A bug that kept the Save button grayed out when adding a plan to an event, even after filling in the details.
- A mystery item could appear in the Pinned Items widget even though it was nowhere to be found in the app. The widget and the app now always agree on what's pinned.
- Issues where Planner items weren't properly being added to the Logbook.
- Podcasts followed by RSS link (like Patreon feeds) could disappear from Up Next when any show was set to Listen as a Series. 
- Episode thumbnails briefly showing the wrong episode's artwork while scrolling quickly on slow networks.
- Grouping a list by an ingredient now reliably places tagged items in the right group.
- Shared links now save even when the page preview can't be loaded, instead of showing an error.
- Issue where the widget could get stuck showing sample content instead of your queue until you reconfigured it.
- The single-item Enjoying widget now updates as you track progress, instead of only refreshing after restarting your phone.
- Events could stop appearing in the widget entirely (while releases and episodes still showed).
- Background image for the Event countdown widget is now sharp instead of blurry when set to "Next Event."

### 5.2.1 — 2026-07-10

Hey gang, 5.2 is a big one...a much improved podcast player, a new Enjoying tab, and a ton of improvements throughout.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR 5.2.1
============================
- Importing your history no longer floods Enjoying with shows you finished years ago — only recently watched shows are tracked automatically, and the rest import ready to track whenever you want.
- Sofa is now much faster for large libraries — quicker Enjoying refreshes, smoother Logbook view switches, and less background work during iCloud sync.
- Fixed a crash on Mac when resizing the window or transitioning the sidebar.
- CSV imports misreading Excel-formatted dates (like "9-Feb-14") as ancient years — they now import as the correct date.

WHAT'S NEW
============================
PODCAST PLAYER
- Listen as a Series — follow any podcast like a TV show, in order from the beginning. Progress ring, dedicated series view (Up Next / Played / Skipped), and a new CarPlay Series tab.
- The player is now fully free — chapters, per-show settings, and Voice Boost unlocked for everyone.
- New per-podcast settings: playback speed, voice boost, seek intervals, Skip Intro, and Skip Outro.
- Chapters now include artwork, scrubber markers (iOS 26+), and auto-parsing from show notes.
- New Up Next controls: choose whether new episodes land at the top or bottom, globally or per podcast. Each playlist now keeps its own sort, including manual drag order, synced across devices.
- New settings: Smart Resume, Auto Play Next Episode, Only Play Downloaded Episodes, and 21 playback speeds (1.0×–3.0× in 0.1× steps).

ENJOYING TAB 
- A dedicated home for in-progress items — shows, books, games, and more.
- Smart views surface the right things: Finish Tonight, On a Roll, and Dusty. 
- Sort by time remaining or units left. 
- TV shows can display a "time left" estimate right on the item. 
- Everyone can now track up to 2 items for free; Super Sofa includes unlimited.

SEARCH 
One global search, one tap from any tab — or ⌘K. Searches your library first, lets you add new items from the same place.

SETTINGS SYNC 
Nearly every preference now syncs with iCloud. Set it once, it's everywhere.

TV SHOW TRACKING 
Collapsible seasons, a Hide Spoilers mode, a choice of progress display (Percent, Watched count, or Remaining), and a new "Caught Up" Smart List filter.

LOGBOOK 
Log Again brings back one-tap re-logging. Repeated Quick Log taps, podcast episodes, and TV episodes now bundle into tidy collapsed rows instead of flooding the day with separate entries. TV episodes group by season by default.

MORE
- TV Time import now supports the official GDPR export — full episode-level watch history, rewatches, movies, and custom lists.
- Smart Lists can now filter by title (contains, equals, excludes) and support multi-range filters.
- Notes can show as a compact "Little Icon" instead of a full inline card.
- New "Date Edited" sort. New "Course" checkpoint type. Default checkpoint type per media category.
- Custom categories can be assigned to Enjoying groups.

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
============================
- Letterboxd import now brings over written reviews as Notes on each film.
- Select All in Up Next for quick bulk actions.
- Sofa now restores your last-used tab and podcast mini player position on reopen.
- Tappable toasts — tap the confirmation banner to jump to what you just changed.
- Finished TV shows now correctly resurface in Enjoying when new seasons arrive.
- Fixed "snap back to Completed" on shows marked incomplete.
- Podcast episodes no longer appear under "Unknown Podcast" or show up twice in Played history — these repair automatically.
- Sorting on Smart Lists filtered to Logbook items now works correctly.
- Planner dates appearing a day early for users in time zones ahead of UTC.

### 5.1 — 2026-05-28

Hey gang, I've got some goodies and tons of bug fixes in this release. Enjoy!

============================
IMPORT FROM OTHER SERVICES
============================
Sofa can now import from the services you've been using for years. Pull in your books, movies, shows, and games from Goodreads, Letterboxd, Trakt, Apple Reminders, and more.

============================
EXPORT YOUR SOFA LIBRARY
============================
The old Plain Text and Spreadsheet exports have been replaced by a single Export All Data option. You get one zip file containing:

- A spreadsheet of everything in your library with your lists, notes, and custom Ingredients all in their own columns
- Separate sheets for the planner, travel, expenses, and more
- Folders with all your attachments and cover images

============================
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
============================
- You can now tap any episode's checkbox in a TV show's episode list to mark it watched, including episodes that haven't aired yet.
- Board Games is once again a category you can turn on in Settings. Add games manually from the Add Custom Item flow, give them properties and notes, and they'll show up in search, smart lists, Logbook, and the rest of Sofa just like any other category. (There's no online board-game lookup yet — items are added by hand for now.)
- Started and Finished dates for tracked TV shows now reflect when you actually watched, not when you tapped Finish.
- Catch Up to Here and Skip Up to Here now respect Hide Specials — Season 0 episodes are no longer touched when you have specials hidden.
- The completion celebration screen now shows your actual Finished date and formats long durations with thousand separators (e.g. 7,712 days to complete).
— "Complete & Log" is now available for items set to Track Only, so you can quick-log a game (or book, or anything) without cluttering the Logbook and still log the finished item when you're done.
- Reduced memory use during podcast playback, especially for episodes with chapter artwork.
- Switching from Simple Counter to Check Things Off now defaults the checkpoint type to the natural unit for the media (e.g. Chapters for books) instead of carrying over the previous unit.
- Grid layouts now better scale items to the platform.

============================
BUG FIXES
============================
- Movie release dates showing the premiere date (or other early event) instead of the theatrical release.
- Edge case where release dates could display one day off depending on your time zone.
- TV episode titles now correct themselves automatically when TMDB updates them after release.
- Podcast smart lists now correctly apply episode-level filters to the displayed episodes.
- Fixed start and end times shifting unexpectedly when changing an event activity's location.
- Fixed the end date jumping forward a day when adjusting the start time near midnight.
- Multi-day activities now keep their duration when you move the start.
- Fixed the end time snapping to one minute past start after picking a location in a new timezone.
- Tapping empty space in the Date & Time section no longer clears the 
- Turning All Day off now restores your original times instead of replacing them with a generic default.
- Multi-day all-day events keep their full span when you turn All Day off.
- Data Card settings now appear when editing The Pile and a Data Card layout is selected.
- Service names on Data Cards no longer duplicate and now appear in a consistent alphabetical order across every item in the list. 
- Marking unaired episodes as watched now fully updates progress everywhere.
- Crash that could close the share sheet immediately when picking a category.
- Crash after typing a query and clearing the search field with the X.

And many more fixes...

### 5.0.4 — 2026-04-21

Hey gang, Sofa 5 is here, and it's the biggest update in the app's history. Here's what's new...

PROGRESS TRACKING
Track TV shows, books, and games with progress rings on covers, plus a new Enjoying section that always knows what's next.

PODCAST PLAYER
A full podcast player built in, with Up Next, Voice Boost, chapters, offline downloads, CarPlay, and a persistent mini player.

PLANNER
A new planning hub for events, tasks, and notes—with day-by-day itineraries, maps, budgets, weather, and automatic tracking of upcoming releases.

LISTS
Two new list types, custom grouping, and 28+ new Smart List filters that work with your Ingredients.

LOGBOOK & STATS
A rebuilt Logbook and a new stats dashboard for every media type, with timelines, breakdowns, and insights about your habits.

AND MORE
Unified Search, bulk actions, 40+ Shortcuts with Siri, home and lock screen widgets, and Apple Intelligence for natural language Smart Lists.

============================
Version 5.0.4
============================

NEW
- "Catch Up to Here" (renamed from "Mark All Up to Here") now has an option to complete each episode using its own air date, so older watches sort into the weeks they actually aired.
- Mark episodes watched without a date — they count toward progress but stay off your Logbook and time-based stats.
- Skip episodes and seasons. Skipped items don't count toward progress, Up Next, Stats, or completion math, and won't block Finish Show.

FIXES
- Crash when opening certain lists with custom cover images.
- Crash when adding a custom image URL to a list item.
- Crash when reordering Ingredients.
- Share Extension crash when selecting a category for a shared item.
- Some image URLs were rejected when using "Add from URL" for cover images.
- Local search now finds titles when apostrophes are omitted (e.g., "youve" matches "You've Got Mail").
- Signing in on a new device could create duplicate starter lists alongside synced iCloud lists.
- "Watch Again" no longer duplicates ratings, tags, and custom properties onto the new copy, which was piling up duplicates in favorites and smart lists. Runtime, genre, and other intrinsic info still carries over.
- New manual items created in a Smart List now default to The Pile.
- "Where to Watch" no longer shows duplicate entries. Providers with multiple options now appear as one row — e.g., Apple TV as "Stream · Rent · Buy."
- Event AI summaries no longer produce mangled characters in unsupported languages; Sofa falls back to the static summary.
- Episode count on the show detail page updates immediately when skipping episodes.
- Season cover image now displays when choosing a date for a season.
- Episode Completion Status filter now correctly narrows results to shows containing the selected statuses.
- Setting a reminder on a TV show episode appeared to do nothing.
- "Show Completed" toggle incorrectly appeared checked when completed items were visible.
- "Find Logbook Item" Shortcut inconsistently returned TV episodes when filtering by Date Added.
- Logbook Item Shortcut variables now include Show Title, Episode Label (e.g., S1E5), Season Number, and Episode Number for TV episodes.
- Watched TV episodes sometimes missing from the Logbook Item picker, text search, and saved shortcut variables on re-run.
- Ingredient pills lagging when switching to a longer value.
- A "Custom Property" entry could remain in a Data Card's Displayed Properties after the Ingredient was deleted.
- "Edit List Details" from long-pressing a list on iPhone showed a shortened Group By menu and "None" when grouped by a system property or Ingredient.
- Data Card "Displayed Properties" picker on Smart Lists was missing System Properties and Services sections.
- Smart Lists set to Collection List now correctly keep completed items visible.
