A few shows on the go, each one stopped at a different episode. That’s a lot to keep in your head. TicShow keeps it for you. It remembers where you left off in every show, and knows what comes next. Tap. Done. Watched an episode? Tap it. TicShow updates your progress and lines up the next one. Caught up on a whole season? Mark it in one go. Up next and For later Up next is for what you’re actually watching right now, with the next episode of each show ready to go. Everyone has a show they’ll “definitely finish”. That one goes to For later: out of Up next, but not forgotten. Your progress stays right where it was until you bring it back. Between seasons When a show is off the air, Upcoming counts down the days to its new episodes. New season confirmed but no date yet? You’ll see that too. And when it’s back, you pick up exactly where you left off. Also in TicShow • Explore what’s returning soon, what’s trending, and ideas based on what you watch • Seasons, episodes, cast and creators for every show • Rate episodes from 1 to 5 stars • Optional spoiler protection • Lists of shows or episodes, to share as an image • An Archive that keeps your progress on shows you’ve finished or dropped No account needed No sign-up, no login. Your library lives on your device and, if iCloud is on, syncs through your private iCloud. TicShow remembers, so you don’t have to.
