TV Next

There are many TV tracking apps out there, many that people love, but none worked for me. Too cluttered, trying to suggest to me what show I should watch next, share, rate, etc. Probably AI recommendations too. I donβt want any of that. I just want to know what episodes Iβve watched, and what is next. You can customize the level of detail shown on the home page. This is everything including the tags on the show, the networks it is available on, remaining episodes, percentage of episodes watched, etc. You can define tags, including the name, color, icon, and whether or not they should appear as **tabs** on the home page. This is a free app, with no tracking. There is a tip jar but it is entirely optional and does not change how the app works.

FlickLists

FlickLists is the easiest way to keep your own watchlist AND figure out what to watch with the people you actually watch with - your partner, your roommates, the whole group chat. Track movies and shows, remember who watched what, and never argue about what to put on again. Most watchlist apps are built for one person. FlickLists is built around people. Create a list for each person you watch with, and the app instantly shows what you can all watch together - so movie night picks itself. ==== Your own watchlist, done right ==== - Track every movie and show you want to watch, beautifully, with real posters and details - An Up Next queue so the next thing to watch is always one tap away - Per-episode tracking for shows: tick off episodes, see season progress at a glance, and always know what's next - Rate what you've seen and keep a personal history of everything you've watched - Filter by runtime, media type, and maturity rating; sort by your ratings, everyone's average, or TMDB score ==== Watch together, decided ==== - Add the people you watch with and group them however you like - Date Night, The Crew, Family - Instantly see what everyone has in common - the overlap of your watchlists, ready to play - "Can't Decide?" picks something for the group when nobody can choose - See who else wants to watch each title, so no one gets left behind - Track a series together - the app picks the next episode nobody has missed - Record who watched what and keep a shared history with each person FlickLists isn't a social network - there are no friend requests or app-to-app connections. The people you watch with are lists you create and manage yourself, kept privately on your own device. ==== Find your next obsession ==== - Discover trending, popular, and upcoming movies and shows, powered by The Movie Database - Browse by genre or search everything - See where to watch - streaming, rent, and buy options for your region - Watch trailers and extras right in the app, in a clean native player - Full details: cast, ratings, runtime, and seasons ==== Free, forever ==== FlickLists is completely free. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No account required. You can optionally import an existing watchlist from Trakt, but you never have to sign in to anything to use the app. ==== Private by design ==== Your watchlists, people, and history live on your device and sync across your own devices through your private iCloud account (and, if you choose to connect Trakt, your personal watchlist and history sync with your own Trakt account too). The developer has no servers and never sees your data. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection - ever. ==== Built for the Apple ecosystem ==== Native SwiftUI on iPhone and iPad, with iCloud sync, a clean Liquid Glass design on iOS 26, and full support for Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver. Movie and show data and images are provided by The Movie Database (TMDB). This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Where-to-watch data is provided by JustWatch.
