About

Aired

Read full description

Aired is where you go when you sit down in the evening and think — what am I watching tonight? Every show you're in the middle of. Every premiere you'd otherwise forget. Every season you finished and half-remember. One place, ready when you are. GUIDE Every premiere, finale and new episode for the week ahead, laid out by night. The service carrying each one sits in the margin. YOU The next episode of everything you're watching, in one list. Swipe a row and it's logged, and the row moves on to the next episode. Your watchlist and the shows you've finished sit underneath. WHERE YOU ARE A ribbon marks the episode you're on and everything above it goes grey. The show page carries how far behind you are and how long it would take to catch up. DISCOVER What's popular this week, ranked toward what plays where you live, and a search box for the thing somebody told you about at work. IT ALL ADDS UP Seasons, episodes and hours, counted from what you've ticked. IT ONLY TELLS YOU THINGS YOU CAN ACT ON A notification when an episode you're ready for airs. A nudge the evening before if you're one or two behind. Further behind than that, nothing. IT KNOWS WHAT'S ON HERE Aired quotes the service for one country at a time — yours. Terrestrial channels as well as streaming, so a BBC show reads BBC ONE. HAVE A LOOK FIRST You don't need an account to browse. Make one when you want the app to remember where you are. WHO BUILT IT Four friends in Ireland who watch too much TV and got tired of losing track of it. Aired is small, and we read every support email that arrives. Show and episode data from TMDB.
