Track every show and film. Pay once. Keep your data. ReelStack is a TV and movie tracker with no subscription, no account and no ads. One $4.99 payment and it's yours for good. Your library lives in your own iCloud, never on our servers, and the app tells you the moment a new episode or season drops and where to stream it. PAY ONCE. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. No login and nothing recurring, so there is nothing to cancel. One payment unlocks unlimited tracking, custom lists and For You recommendations, forever. We never see your library, and you can export all of it to a simple file anytime, free. NEW EPISODE AND SEASON ALERTS ReelStack watches your list for you. When a new episode airs, or a new season lands on a show you're tracking, you get a push notification with the show's poster. Alerts are per show, so you only hear about the ones you actually care about. Finished a show that comes back for another season? It moves back to Watching on its own. TRACK EPISODE BY EPISODE Mark individual episodes watched, not just whole seasons. The badge that says an episode is out is the button that ticks it. See exactly where you left off in every show, and catch up everything before an episode in one tap. KNOW WHERE TO WATCH Every title shows which streaming service it's on. Tap once and ReelStack opens that service searching for the exact title, not just the app's homescreen. Only a paid rental? A small Rent tag tells you before you tap. Want a movie you can't stream yet? Turn on an alert and ReelStack tells you the day it lands on a streaming service. YOUR LISTS, YOUR WAY Group shows into custom lists: date night, comfort rewatches, finish this year. Add from a show's page or pick several at once. 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". Rate more, get sharper picks. BRING YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY Import your IMDb watchlist in one pass, hundreds of titles matched exactly, no retyping. And your data is never trapped: export everything to a simple file anytime, free. NOT WATCHING RIGHT NOW? Put a show On Hold or mark it Dropped. It moves to a Shelved section, out of the way but never lost. SHARE YOUR LIST Turn what you're watching, or every show you've finished, into one clean poster grid ready to post or send. CAN'T DECIDE? PICK FOR ME One tap pulls something from your watchlist, narrowed by genre if you know the mood you're in. For the nights when choosing is the hard part. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A real iPad layout, not a stretched up phone app. Wider grids that use the whole screen, and a side by side detail view showing cast, streaming links and ratings all at once. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Your library stays in step on every device signed in to your iCloud. Add a show on one, and it's already waiting on the next. Nothing to set up, and still no account.
