KnowShow is a personal TV tracker for people who already know what they're watching. Mark episodes as you go, see what's left, and never lose your place. Stay informed on when new seasons or episodes will be released. No feed. No ads. No recommendations you didn't ask for. TRACK EVERY EPISODE Tick episodes off one at a time, mark a whole season at once, or tap once to catch up to any point mid-season. Jumped ahead? KnowShow offers to fill in everything before it. Your progress and the exact episode you stopped on are always a glance away. KNOW WHEN NEW EPISODES LAND Switch on alerts for the shows you care about, and Upcoming lists the next episode for each one, in order of earliest release. Anything airing in the next seven days gets flagged, so a returning season never slips past you. SEE WHERE IT'S STREAMING Open any show to find which services carry it in your country. Tell KnowShow which services you subscribe to and mark where you watch each show, so you always know where to pick it back up. YOUR LIBRARY AT A GLANCE Every show you follow, sorted into Watching, To Watch, and Caught Up, each with its own progress. Filter down to whatever you're in the mood for. YOUR VIEWING, IN NUMBERS See how much time you've spent watching, broken down by streaming service, show type, and genre, plus a month-by-month view of your activity. PUT A SHOW ASIDE Pause a show, put it to sleep until a date you pick, or archive it for good. Every watched episode stays exactly as you left it, and a sleeping show comes back on its own. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your account is an email address and your watch history. That's the whole of it. Usage analytics are anonymous and never include show titles or what you've watched. Delete your account, and everything that goes with it will be deleted.
