Franchise is the ultimate tracker for movies, TV shows, comics, manga, books, and games โ€” all organized by the franchises you love. TRACK EVERYTHING Never lose track of what you've watched, read, or played. Mark items as completed, bookmark things for later, and rate everything from 1 to 100. Franchise keeps your entire entertainment history in one place. SERIES & COMICS SUPPORT Dive deep into your favorite series with season and episode tracking. Reading comics or manga? Track every single issue. Franchise even shows your progress with beautiful progress bars so you always know how far you've come. CHARACTER FRANCHISES Here's where Franchise gets unique. When you enter a series through a character โ€” say Batman โ€” tapping the checkmark only marks the episodes featuring Batman. Enter through Catwoman, and it marks Catwoman's episodes instead. A green checkmark means you've seen everything. Purple means you've completed your character's appearances. No other app does this. PROGRESS & STATS See your completion percentage for every franchise, every category, every series. Sort by progress or name. Mark your favorites with a heart and filter to focus only on what matters to you. AI FRANCHISE ASSISTANT Chat with our built-in AI assistant powered by Gemini. Ask anything about movies, series, games, or books. The assistant even detects franchises and items mentioned in the conversation and shows quick links so you can jump straight to their detail pages. SOCIAL FEATURES Add friends and see what they're watching, reading, and playing in real time. Browse their latest activity, read their comments, and check out the ratings they give. Send and receive friend requests, manage your connections, and stay up to date with everyone's franchise journey. COMMENTS & LIKES Leave comments on any movie, episode, comic issue, or game. Like your friends' comments. Sort comments by newest, oldest, most liked, or least liked. Your comment history and liked comments are always just a tap away. RATINGS Rate anything from 1 to 100. See the global average score and how many people have voted. Rate individual episodes and comic issues too โ€” not just the main titles. POWERFUL SEARCH Search across all franchises and all content instantly. Find a movie, series, character, or game in seconds no matter how large your library grows. LIST OR GRID Prefer a clean poster grid? Or a detailed list with progress info? Switch between views anytime from your profile settings. YOUR PROFILE Customize your profile with a name, unique username, and profile photo. Browse your watch history organized by category. Check your bookmarks, your comments, and the comments you've liked. Franchise is the app for people who are serious about their entertainment. Whether you're a Marvel completionist, a DC comics reader, an anime fan tracking every arc, or a gamer working through a massive series Franchise is built for you. Start tracking. Start discovering. Start sharing.

Marothon tracks TV and movies at the episode level, remembers exactly where you left off, and lines up what to watch next. Built for people who marathon. YOUR ROT LIST Everything you're watching on one screen, grouped by what to do next. Opening the app answers the only question that matters: what do I put on right now? EPISODE-LEVEL TRACKING Not "seasons watched" โ€” the exact next episode, every time. Mark one off and the next slots in. Rewatches, half-finished seasons and shows you bailed on are all handled. NEVER MISS A DROP Get told when a new episode lands or a film you're waiting on hits streaming. Air times follow your timezone, not a server's. DISCOVER SOMETHING NEXT Browse by what's airing, what's new, what's leaving, and what people are actually watching โ€” with cast, crew and trailers on every title. ROT TOGETHER Follow friends and see what they're watching. Compare your libraries side by side to find the shows you've both been meaning to start โ€” and the ones you're hopelessly behind on. Accounts can be public or private, follow requests are yours to approve, and you can block or report anyone. Prefer to keep it to yourself? Turn the whole social side off in Settings. FREE No subscription, no ads, no paywalled episodes. Sign in with email, Google or Apple. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
