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.

One front door for all your streaming apps. Pay once. Keep your data. ReelStack tells you what to watch tonight and where: which of your streaming services has it, where you left off, and when a new episode is out. No subscription, no account and no ads. Your library lives in your own iCloud, never on our servers. PAY ONCE. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. No login and nothing recurring, so there is nothing to cancel. Free keeps up to 8 shows. One payment unlocks unlimited tracking, custom lists, For You recommendations and actor pages, forever. Export all of your library to a simple file anytime, free. YOUR SERVICES, YOUR ANSWER Tell ReelStack which streaming services you have, once. From then on every title says "on Netflix" when you have it, "you'd need Hulu" when you don't, and Rent when it's only a rental. Trending and search can show only what you can watch tonight. SAVE A SHOW FROM ANYWHERE Spot something on Netflix, Apple TV or IMDb? Tap Share, choose ReelStack, and it's on your Watchlist, with a note when it's on one of your services. Free for everyone. ASK SIRI "What's next in ReelStack" names the next episode of what you're watching. "Where can I watch Reacher in ReelStack" answers for anything you've saved, and your saved shows turn up when you search your iPhone. On iOS 17 and later. CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF The shows you're partway through sit at the top of Watching, with the next episode and a play button that opens the right app. Come back after watching, answer "Did you finish it?", and your progress moves itself. CAN'T DECIDE? PICK FOR ME One answer, from what you've saved, on a service you have. Choose a film or an episode, or narrow by mood. Not tonight sends it away until tomorrow. NEW EPISODE AND SEASON ALERTS A push with the show's poster when a new episode airs or a new season lands, per show, so you only hear about the ones you care about. A finished show that comes back moves back to Watching on its own. KNOW WHERE TO WATCH Tap once and ReelStack opens the right service searching for the exact title, not the app's homescreen. Saved a film you can't stream yet? ReelStack tells you the day it lands on one of your services. And if a saved show moves services, the app says so. TRACK EPISODE BY EPISODE Mark single episodes watched, not just whole seasons. The badge that says an episode is out is the button that ticks it, and one tap catches up everything before it. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE Up next lays out everything you're waiting on, as a list or a month, with the services you have marked. One tap adds an episode to your calendar. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Stats, free for everyone: hours watched, episodes, shows finished, your top genres and services, and a year of your watching at a glance. Your month comes as a card you can share, and each December, your year in TV. TAP A NAME Search an actor or director, or tap one on any show, and see everything else they're in, with what's streaming on your services first. A Premium feature. YOUR LISTS, YOUR WAY Group shows into custom lists: date night, comfort rewatches, finish this year. Your first list is free. PICKS THAT LEARN FROM YOU For You builds rows of recommendations from what you rate, like "Because you rated Fleabag five stars". BRING YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY Import your IMDb watchlist in one pass, hundreds of titles matched exactly, no retyping. FAMILY BROWSING Set an age rating ceiling once, and Discover and search honor it, so a kid can look for something to watch. NOT WATCHING RIGHT NOW? Put a show On Hold or mark it Dropped. It moves to Shelved, out of the way but never lost. SHARE YOUR LIST Share any list as a link that shows the posters and where each title streams. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A real iPad layout, not a stretched phone app: wider grids and a side by side detail view. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your library stays in step on every device signed in to your iCloud. Nothing to set up, and still no account. Powered by TMDB
