Never lose track of what you're watching. Screen Night keeps a running list of your shows, tells you when the next episode airs, and makes it painless to catch up when you've fallen behind. UP NEXT, IN AIR-DATE ORDER Every show you follow, sorted by when the next episode actually airs — not buried show by show. Separate tabs keep what you're in the middle of apart from what you've been meaning to start. CATCH UP FAST Mark a whole season watched in one tap. Just added a show you're already partway through? "Mark Watched Through Season X" catches you up instantly, with no episode-by-episode grinding. WATCH ALONG WITH FRIENDS See what your friends are watching this week, how far along they are, and which shows they loved. Connect with an invite link, or find each other when you both have the other's number saved. Recommend a show with a tap. You choose what's shared: hide any show or pause sharing at any time, and your thumbs-downs are never shared. RATE WHAT YOU WATCH Thumbs down, thumbs up, or love it — not five stars nobody can calibrate. Your ratings sharpen what Screen Night recommends next. Every rating lives in one place, with the shows you haven't rated yet ready to rate. NEVER MISS AN EPISODE Optional alerts that say when and where each new episode airs — and let you mark it watched straight from the notification — plus a Sunday-morning reminder to see what's airing this week. Episode alerts are scheduled entirely on your device. DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW Trending shows, recommendations drawn from what you've actually watched and rated, and the shows your friends loved. YOUR YEAR IN TELEVISION Episodes and shows watched, hours spent, your most-watched titles, the genres you kept coming back to and the networks and streamers behind them — a running recap of the year so far. NO ADS, NO ANALYTICS, NO TRACKING No advertising SDK, no analytics service, no cross-app tracking. Your watch history syncs privately between your devices, and only the friends you connect with see what you're watching. Export your watch list, history and ratings any time, from Settings.
