Stop paying for streaming services you're not using. Binge Boss is a TV tracker and subscription planner that helps you watch every show you want — for less. Binge Boss plans when to subscribe to Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, and more, and reminds you to cancel when you've binged. KEY FEATURES • Track every show and movie — Mark episodes watched, see your progress at a glance, and never lose track of where you are in a series. • Smart subscription planner — Tell Binge Boss what you want to watch. It calculates the cheapest order to subscribe — based on what's available where you live and how long each show takes to finish. • Multi-strategy optimization — Choose between maximum saving (combine subscription periods up to 6 months apart) and binge mode (subscribe as soon as content drops). Five strategies, your call. • Reminders that respect your time — Get notified when it's time to subscribe to the next service — and when to cancel before the next billing cycle. No spam, no surprise charges. • Cross-platform sync — Your library stays in sync between iPhone, iPad, and the web at bingeboss.tv. Start watching on one device, mark episodes on another. • Region-aware — Streaming availability differs by country. Binge Boss handles Sweden, the US, the UK, Norway, and many more — and updates as catalogs change. • AI show discovery — Describe a show you want to find ("a chemistry teacher who becomes a drug lord"), and Binge Boss matches it from millions of titles. Or get personalized recommendations based on what's already in your library. • Privacy-first — We don't sell your data. We don't track you across the internet. Your library is yours. GOOD TO KNOW Binge Boss is free, with no in-app purchases or ads. We use data from JustWatch and TMDB to show what's available where. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — your library follows you everywhere. Built for people who watch a lot but don't want to pay for it all at once. If that's you, welcome.
