You watch six shows at once. This one remembers where you stopped in each. Eluna Screen is a TV show tracker, anime tracker and movie watchlist in one app. It knows which episode is next, tells you the day it airs, and shows where to watch it — with no account, no subscription and no analytics. Everything stays on your phone. TRACK EVERYTHING YOU WATCH • Series with per-season, per-episode progress • Anime with absolute numbering — episode #1087 stays #1087 • Movies with runtime and watch dates • Watching, planned, completed, archived, favorites and custom collections • Search finds titles in any language; descriptions auto-translate into yours • Season overviews with one-tap "mark season watched" • A home screen you assemble yourself: switch rows on or off and put them in your order NEVER MISS AN EPISODE • Episode calendar: a month grid and a timeline of what is coming • A "next episode" card that always knows what to watch next • Release-day reminders at the exact time • Air dates in your own time zone, so "tonight" means tonight • A home-screen widget: what to watch next, and a tick that marks an episode without opening the app WHERE TO WATCH • Which streaming services carry a title in your country — not in another one • A tap opens that show's own page in the service, not the service's front page • Mark the services you already pay for and they come first • Nothing is guessed: a service with no known link stays plain text NO SPOILERS Spoiler Guard hides the titles and descriptions of episodes you have not seen — in the list, the calendar, everywhere — until you mark them watched. YOUR VIEWING DIARY • Rate shows and episodes, write notes, attach photos • Statistics: total time, activity heatmap, viewing habits • Achievements, yearly goals, and a year in review you can share as a picture • Franchise map: the spin-offs, sequels and films belonging to a show you follow — including the ones that cross from series to cinema • Cast pages, similar titles, trending picks, and an "I'm feeling lucky" pick by mood FREE, AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Free, all of it: no ads, no subscriptions, no paywalls. The optional tip unlocks nothing, because nothing is locked. • No sign-up, no account, ever • No analytics, no crash trackers, no data brokers • Optional app lock: PIN or fingerprint keeps your library private • Your library lives on your device, not on our servers. We have no servers. • A backup that is yours: an encrypted copy in your own iCloud, or a file you keep — export is free and always there WORKS OFFLINE • Library, diary, statistics and calendar open instantly, connection or not — built local-first, not a website in a wrapper • Details, posters and translations are cached, so browsing stays fast on a slow network COMING FROM ANOTHER TRACKER Import your TV Time export or GDPR archive in a couple of taps — shows, episodes and original watch dates survive exactly as they were. Trakt, Simkl, MyAnimeList, Kitsu, AniList, IMDb, TMDB, Letterboxd, Serializd, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi, Bangumi and plain CSV/JSON work too, with automatic format detection: pick the file, the app works out the rest. MADE FOR THE WORLD 61 languages with full RTL support, iPhone and iPad layouts, six themes in light and dark, and eight app icons. Whether you binge box sets, follow seasonal anime, or need a series tracker to replace the notes app — Eluna Screen keeps your watch history in your pocket. Yours, offline, forever.
