Previously is the simplest way to keep up with the TV shows you're watching. Always know what to watch next, see exactly when new episodes air, and keep your whole history in one private place. No account. No ads. No social feed. Your watch history stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. MOVING FROM ANOTHER TRACKER? Bring your history with you. Import your watched episodes and their dates from a TV Time export, review everything before it's added, and pick up where you left off. SYNC WITH TRAKT Connect your Trakt account to import your watched history and watchlist, send your local history to Trakt with the original watch dates, and keep new activity in sync automatically. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track any series, with full seasons and episodes cached on device so your library is there even offline • Choose your own poster and backdrop for any show from TheTVDB's artwork gallery • A Watch List with two views: Watching for what's current, and Backlog for shows you haven't started or haven't watched in a while • Up Next: a tap-to-advance queue showing the exact episode to watch next • Upcoming: a clean schedule of what airs and when • New-episode notifications at the time of day you choose, with per-show mute controls • Mark a single episode, a whole season, or catch up in one go, with a quick undo • A recently watched feed, plus a month calendar of everything you've seen • Stats for episodes watched, watch streaks, and estimated time watched • Spoiler protection hides titles, stills, and summaries for episodes you haven't seen • Episode details, ratings, show information, and full cast and crew • Show original-language titles when you prefer them • Light, dark, or system appearance • Built for iPhone and iPad YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL Export and restore your tracked shows and watch history whenever you want. Everything happens on your device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no sign-up. Show data comes from TheTVDB and TVmaze, while your watch history never leaves your device except to your own iCloud.
