Screenary is the TV tracking app built for people who actually care about television. Most apps treat a show as a single thing to check off. But you know that Season 1 of a show can be a masterpiece and Season 4 can be unwatchable. Screenary lets you rate every season independently, see how quality rises and falls over time, and track exactly where you are — not just "watched" or "not watched." Rate season by season. Give each season its own score. Build a real picture of your taste, not just a list of titles. See the quality curve. Visualize how a show evolves across seasons — where it peaked, where it stumbled, and whether it's worth pushing through. Discover what to watch next. Your For You feed learns from your ratings and your friends'. It tells you why something is recommended — because your friend gave it a 9.2, because it matches a show you loved, or because the community can't stop talking about it. Watch together with Fuse. Can't agree on what to watch tonight? Fuse finds shows that overlap between you and a friend's taste — so you're not just picking something you'll tolerate, you're finding something you'll both actually love. Stay in the loop. See what your friends are watching, rating, and reviewing in real time. Follow along, chime in, or just see what's worth your time before you commit. 8 vibes. Infinite moods. Cozy, funny, intense, mind-bending — filter your recommendations by exactly the energy you're in for right now. Whether you're a completionist tracking every episode or someone who just wants to know what to put on tonight, Screenary gives you tools that actually match how you think about TV.
