Read full descriptionHide full description
TalonDeck is a tactile, distraction-free way to track everything you want to watch, read, and play. Stop juggling four different apps and messy note lists. TalonDeck turns your movies, TV shows, books, and games into a single, beautifully organized card deck. Build your backlog, pull titles into "In Play", and drag them to "Completed" when you're done. PLAY YOUR BACKLOG • Fun Drag-and-Drop: Move cards between your Draw Pile, In Play, Completed, and Burn piles, like handling a real deck. • Focus Mode: Keep up to 5 active cards per suit in play so you actually finish what you start. • Search Your Deck: Find any card in seconds, then add new ones straight to Draw, Completed, or Burn. FOUR SUITS, ONE APP • Movies: Track runtimes and what you've watched. • TV Shows: Add a whole show in one go, with every season as its own card. • Books: Log progress by pages read or audio minutes. • Video Games: Record hours played and platforms. ADD ANYTHING IN SECONDS • Instant Enrichment: Search a huge catalog to pull in cover art, release years, and details automatically. • Zero Friction: No manual typing or complicated setup. YOUR DECK, EVERYWHERE • Home Screen Widget: See your In Play hand at a glance and jump straight to a card. • iCloud Sync: Your deck follows you across your devices through your own private iCloud. • Share a Card: Turn any card into a story image with a link and QR code. BRING YOUR EXISTING LIBRARY • CSV Import: Move your backlog over from IMDb, Letterboxd, Goodreads, Backloggd, and more. • CSV Export: Your data is never locked in. Export your whole collection, or a single pile, anytime. • Automatic Backups: TalonDeck keeps recent copies of your library on its own, so nothing is lost. BURN THE CHAOS • The Burn Pile: Drop the movies you walked out on or the books you gave up on into the Burn Pile, guilt-free. Clear your mind and your list. CELEBRATE YOUR JOURNEY • Rate and Remember: Give each finished or burned card a rating and a note. • Visual Stats: Review hours watched, pages read, and cards conquered, for this year or any year before. • Curate Favorites: Rank your completed deck to showcase your all-time favorites. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Zero Tracking: We collect nothing. Your deck lives on your device and in your own private iCloud. • No Forced Accounts: No logins, no ads, and no social feeds. TRY IT FREE, THEN OWN IT • Try every feature free for 14 days. • Then unlock TalonDeck with a single purchase. It's yours forever, with no subscription. • Already a Pro subscriber?

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TV.Tracker at none against TalonDeck's 5. TV.Tracker also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
