Stop juggling six streaming apps just to remember where you left off. WatchQueue is one home for everything you're watching — it tracks every show and movie down to the episode, shows you where to stream each one, and always knows what to play next. KNOW WHAT'S NEXT Open any series and the next unwatched episode is already waiting — with its synopsis, air date, and a one-tap jump into the app that's streaming it. Mark episodes or whole seasons watched, and your Up Next keeps itself current. WHERE TO WATCH — YOURS FIRST Every title shows exactly which apps carry it, split into Stream and Rent or Buy. The services you already pay for surface first, so you never rent something you could've streamed for free. DISCOVER SOMETHING TO WATCH New episodes this week, what's trending, and what's popular — plus a personalized row for each of your streaming services, so Discover reflects what you can actually watch tonight. YOUR LISTS, TOGETHER The Lists tab brings your Trakt lists and your Plex watchlist into one place as clean rails of poster art. Add anything to a list straight from Discover, Search, or a title's page. DECIDE IN SECONDS Not sure what to put on? Sort your in-progress shows by Fewest Left, Most Left, or Recently Watched — or just hit Shuffle. Started something months ago and drifted? Round up the ones you abandoned and finish them or let them go. ONE APP, EVERY SCREEN WatchQueue is a universal app: buy it once and it's yours on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Your whole queue stays in sync across all of them through iCloud — no account required. BRING YOUR HISTORY (OPTIONAL) • Connect Trakt to pull in everything you've already watched and keep your progress in sync everywhere. • Point WatchQueue at your Plex server and it marks what you already own right on the posters — then opens any title or episode in Plex or Infuse. WatchQueue is great the moment you open it, and even better with the services you already use. One queue, finally in one place.
