Check off your episodes. Bring your friends. All in one place. BingerTime tracks what you watch, play and read — shows, films, video games and books — in a single library, across every screen you own. "WHERE WAS I?" — THE RECAP THAT PUTS YOU BACK IN THE STORY Picking up a series you dropped months ago? BingerTime retells the plot up to your last watched episode and stops right there: not a word about what comes next, no spoilers. The recap is written by AI from your actual progress — yours, not a generic synopsis — and read aloud if you'd rather listen. Exclusive to BingerTime, included with Premium. YOUR SHOWS, WITH PEOPLE AROUND Watching alone is half the fun. BingerTime is built to be used together. • Add friends with an invite link, browse their library and see exactly how far they've got in a series — episode by episode. • Comment on any title, reply in threads, react with a thumbs-up or a heart. • Chat in real time with built-in messaging, per show or in private. • Lend your paperbacks: requests, approvals, reminders and return tracking. • On Apple TV, everyone in the household gets their own profile and friends. TRACKING THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY • Check an episode with one tap, or a whole season or series at once. • Rewatches count: an episode seen three times shows "3×". • Rate what you watch, keep a dated history, mark any title as private. • "Continue" always puts the next episode to watch back in front of you. NOT JUST SHOWS Films, video games (status, platform, hours played, progress) and books (page progress, rereads) live in the same app, with the same statistics. COMING FROM TV TIME? Import your whole archive in one go from your data export. Shows, watched episodes, history — nothing is lost. It's free, for everyone. YOUR PROGRESS, IN NUMBERS Over 100 badges, an overall rank, and an annual recap that sums up your year in a card worth sharing. ON EVERY SCREEN iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and the web — one account, everything in sync. FREE, WITH PREMIUM IF YOU WANT MORE Tracking, friends, comments, messaging, badges and the TV Time import are free, with no ads. BingerTime Premium adds: • The "Where was I?" AI recap, written and read aloud. • Discover — new releases and personalised recommendations. • The release calendar and alerts on the day an episode airs. • Advanced statistics: binges, top genres and actors, month-by-month pace. • The full detail of your annual recap. • Personalisation: posters, cover art, chat backgrounds, avatars. Show and film data comes from TMDB, games from IGDB, books from Google Books. BingerTime hosts no video content. BingerTime Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, cancellable any time from your Apple account settings.
