FREE. NO SIGNUP. PRIVACY FIRST. Marquee is a free TV and movie tracker built around your privacy. There's no signup or account to create, no ads, and no tracking across apps or websites β€” and nothing you track is shared. Your watch history, ratings, notes and lists stay on your device and back up to your own iCloud, never to our servers. Marquee is also the simplest way to keep track of everything you watch β€” no sign-up, no clutter. FOLLOW YOUR SHOWS Add the shows you're watching and check off episodes as you go. Season-by-season checklists make it easy to catch up, and your progress is always a tap away. ALWAYS KNOW WHAT'S NEXT The Up Next queue shows the next unwatched episode for every show you follow. One tap marks it watched and moves you along. DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW Browse what's trending, popular, and top-rated, search millions of shows and movies, explore by genre, and see where each title is streaming in your region. MOVIES TOO Mark movies watched, build a watchlist, and keep a full history of what you've seen. NEVER MISS AN EPISODE A built-in calendar shows upcoming air dates for the shows you follow, with optional reminders. SEE YOUR STATS Episodes watched, hours logged, your most-watched shows, and a recent-activity chart. BRING YOUR HISTORY Switching from another tracking app? Import your watch history and lists from a data export and pick up right where you left off. Show and movie data is provided by TMDB. No setup, no API key, and no account β€” browsing and search need an internet connection, and your tracked library works offline.
