Help Me Binge is a free tracker for TV shows, movies and sports, built as the replacement for TV Time after its July 2026 shutdown. No account required to start, no ads, and it remembers exactly where you left off in every show. RESCUE YOUR TV TIME HISTORY Import your TV Time export in one tap and get your shows, watched episodes, watchlist and ratings back. Never saved an export? You can paste a list of show names or rebuild from your Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ viewing activity in a few minutes. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Track TV, movies and live sports together. See what is on tonight, what is airing today across your shows, and what is coming soon. Follow your teams and get game-day reminders. FIND WHAT IS FREE TO WATCH RIGHT NOW Help Me Binge checks your list against free ad-supported services like Tubi, Pluto TV and the Roku Channel, and flags which of your shows you can watch free right now. It also shows which paid subscriptions you are not actually using, with the yearly cost, so you can stop overpaying. SMART SEARCH Cannot remember a title? Describe it. Search by actor, by plot, or by vibe and Help Me Binge finds it. BUILT FOR REAL BINGERS Pick up where you left off in every series, rate episodes and watch a season's highs and lows chart itself, build a customizable calendar of upcoming episodes, share an optional public profile with a taste-match score, use couples mode to pick something you will both watch, and browse just released and coming soon. FREE AND PRIVATE No account is required to use it, and your data stays on your device unless you choose to sign in and sync across devices. No ads.
