What's New in watchful
1.0.3
October 26, 2026
Watchful can now track everything you watch, and sync it with Trakt. • New Library tab: Watching splits into In Progress and Upcoming, with a countdown to each next episode; Watched is grouped by month; and your Watchlist sits alongside. On Home, an Up Next shelf always knows your next episode • Statistics: see what you've watched all-time and by year, plus your taste profile • Quicker tracking: tap a show in Watching to open its next episode, long-press for quick actions, and choose whether to mark earlier episodes you skipped • Trakt sync: connect your account to sync watched history, progress, and your watchlist both ways, or import your full Trakt history in one pass • File imports: bring in a Trakt or Letterboxd export and review exactly what gets added before anything is imported • Next-episode alerts: get notified when a show you're watching has a new episode • Cloud backup: back up your library and restore it on a new device • Redesigned widgets: new Showcase and Quick Search layouts, and tapping a poster opens that title • More at home on iPhone: a Liquid Glass app icon, centered Liquid Glass headers and controls on iOS 26, native menus throughout, and web links that open without leaving the app • Peek and swipe: long-press a poster to preview the title, and swipe Library rows to mark the next episode watched or remove a title from your Watchlist • Better on iPad and iPhone Duo: a sidebar on iPad, and layouts that adapt as the window resizes or the screen folds • Accessibility: header buttons are labeled for VoiceOver, and the Home carousel stops auto-scrolling with Reduce Motion or VoiceOver on • Artwork browser: view posters and backdrops fullscreen, and filter artwork by language or country • Also: Box Office Mojo revenue links, a refreshed search filter, reorganized settings, better light/dark theming, and plenty of fixes
