There are many TV tracking apps out there, many that people love, but none worked for me. Too cluttered, trying to suggest to me what show I should watch next, share, rate, etc. Probably AI recommendations too. I don’t want any of that. I just want to know what episodes I’ve watched, and what is next. You can customize the level of detail shown on the home page. This is everything including the tags on the show, the networks it is available on, remaining episodes, percentage of episodes watched, etc. You can define tags, including the name, color, icon, and whether or not they should appear as **tabs** on the home page. This is a free app, with no tracking. There is a tip jar but it is entirely optional and does not change how the app works.
