Ever forget what you were watching? Or which streaming service it was on? It happens to all of us — juggling recommendations, hopping between apps, or trying to remember that one show you meant to start. What Was I Watching is a warm, simple place to keep track. No accounts. No setup. No pressure. Just open it and jot down what you're watching or what you want to watch next. Adding a show is just typing Type a title — even a few words — and the app finds it, filling in the poster, genres, and details for you. That's the whole flow. Rather snap than type? Turn on photo capture in Settings to add a show from a picture of your TV, a poster, or a screenshot. Track Every State Mark a show as Watching, Binge, Watched, or Gave Up — your list always reflects where you really are. Rate the ones you loved. Your list becomes a clean, friendly collection you can browse anytime, organized by state, date, genre, or streaming service. Filter by movies or TV, by genre, or by who recommended it. Track Your Seasons Watching a series? The app tracks which season you're on and tells you when the next one is due. When a new season drops, just tap to move forward. Designed for Everyone Full VoiceOver and Voice Control support, Dynamic Type, high-contrast and reduced-motion modes, and clear labels throughout — the whole app is built to be used by everyone.
