Binglyst is a fast, personal tracker for everything you watch — with a search that understands what you mean, not just what you type. TRACK WITHOUT THE BUSYWORK • Watching / Watchlist / Watched with per-episode checkmarks and season progress ("7 of 62") • Mark a whole season watched in one tap • Home shows what to continue, what's coming up, and exact countdowns to your shows' next episodes SEARCH THAT GETS IT Type a plot, not a title. "Chemistry teacher becomes drug kingpin" finds Breaking Bad; "bus cannot go below 50" finds Speed. Binglyst fuses meaning-based matching with keyword and popularity signals — and it also searches people, so "Leonardo DiCaprio" opens a full filmography with each credit's role. RECOMMENDATIONS THAT LEARN A private, on-device recommendation engine builds a taste profile from your library — favorite genres, actors, directors, writers — and keeps two rails fresh: one for series, one for movies. Pick three favorites at the start and it's already useful. NEVER MISS A DROP Coming Up lists your shows' next episodes with countdowns, and optional local reminders fire on air day. No account or server required. WHERE HAVE I SEEN THEM? Tap any cast member on a title page to see which of your watched shows and movies they also appear in — with the role they played in each. FRIENDS, OPTIONALLY Follow friends' watchlists and run a two-person shared watchlist. Friend features are entirely optional and need an iCloud account. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your watch history lives on your device. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. An account is optional — Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — and can be deleted in-app at any time. Binglyst's catalog covers hundreds of thousands of titles with episode air dates, ratings, plots, and full cast & crew, refreshed daily.
