Shoflo is a TV show tracker that actually knows your taste. Track what you're watching, discover your next obsession, and get personalized AI recommendations — all in one beautifully dark, cinematic app designed for people who take their shows seriously. TRACK YOUR SHOWS YOUR WAY Build your library with shows you're watching, have watched, plan to watch, loved, or dropped. Track progress at the episode level — mark individual episodes or entire seasons as watched with a tap. Your data stays on your device. Always. DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW Swipe through a curated feed of shows matched to your mood. Feeling like something dark and gritty? Light and bingeable? Filter by vibe, genre, streaming platform, language, and country. The Discover feed blends trending shows, hidden gems, and personalized picks based on what you've loved. AI RECOMMENDATIONS THAT GET YOU Chat with Shoflo's AI assistant to get recommendations that actually make sense. It knows your library, your ratings, and your taste profile — so it skips the obvious stuff and finds shows you haven't heard of yet. Ask it anything: "What should I watch tonight?", "Find me something like Severance", or "Surprise me." IMPORT YOUR WATCH HISTORY Already have a mental list of everything you've watched? Import it in seconds. Talk naturally with voice import or paste a list — Shoflo's AI parses your shows, matches them, and adds them to your library with the right ratings. SEE WHERE TO STREAM Every show detail page tells you exactly which platforms are streaming it in your region. No more app-hopping to find where something is available. EPISODE GUIDE & CALENDAR Never miss a new episode. The Guide tab shows upcoming episodes for all your tracked shows, organized by date. Stay on top of your schedule without checking five different apps. BUILT FOR THE DARK Shoflo is designed dark from the ground up — not as an afterthought. Every screen, every animation, every detail is crafted for a cinematic experience that feels at home on your phone late at night. PRIVACY FIRST Your library, watch history, and preferences are stored locally on your device. When you use the AI assistant, your messages are sent to generate recommendations but are never stored on any server. No accounts required. No tracking. No ads. Shoflo uses data from The Movie Database (TMDB) and is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. AI recommendations are powered by Anthropic's Claude.
