RESCUE YOUR TV TIME HISTORY Import your TV Time export in one tap and get your shows, watched episodes, watchlist and ratings back. Never saved an export? You can paste a list of show names or rebuild from your Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ viewing activity in a few minutes. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Track TV, movies and live sports together. See what is on tonight, what is airing today across your shows, and what is coming soon. Follow your teams and get game-day reminders. FIND WHAT IS FREE TO WATCH RIGHT NOW Help Me Binge checks your list against free ad-supported services like Tubi, Pluto TV and the Roku Channel, and flags which of your shows you can watch free right now.
