What do you use to track TV Shows/Seasons? I don’t need social features, etc. Something to basically allow me to add shows, mark episodes I’ve seen, & see what’s up next. I’ve been using TV Forecast (connects with trackt.tv). No complaints, but I’m up for renewal and would like to see options.

plex is using justwatch APIs (IIRC), if you want to go there directly

Reelgood .. but it is no Letterboxd - who in turn were talking about widening to TV a couple of years ago .. but I’ve seen zippo.

@toddgrotenhuis I’m actually a big time Plex user, but I’ve never used it for simple tracking. I’m not even real sure where to find the ability to do that?

@JohnPhilpin Hmmm. I’d have to see if there’s a way to import from Trakt. It doesn’t appear (at first glance at least) that it syncs with them.

it’s in the “watchlist” menu.
It’s integrated with the rest of plex, so, for example, if you have a show that’s in your library and marked as to-watch, then it will automatically update your watch status.
Things outside plex you still need to tell the watchlist that you’ve seen them.

I am definitely not the best qualified on this space .. pretty sure that pratik@writing.exchange knows a lot more

I’ve been digging Sequel (maybe iOS / macOS only?) but haven’t paid for it yet. Trying to balance my love of Letterboxd for movies, but wanting to track tv and other things as well.

@iChris Haven’t seen that one yet, gonna give it a shot. It looks nice.

I’ve been using Marathon. Don’t use the social stuff so it’s not necessary to use the app at all. apps.apple.com/us/app/ma…

@matt I just created a page and wrote stuff down. But then, I don't subscribe to more than one sub at a time.

I will say no Trak.tv though which is a bummer. They’ve said it’s on the roadmap. Also, saw Sequel mentioned, which does have Trak BUT there is issues with the new free plans and syncing so I don’t think that works any longer if you are a heavy user of Trak and don’t pay for that service.

@endonend Good to know on both. Marathon does look nice. May try it anyway.

I did forget they have one time Trak import, which is nice. I used it before Marathon for sure, so brought in my history. Hopefully they add sync soon. Then, I feel like it would be perfect.

@pratik Twiddling my thumbs in anticipation. Won’t make a decision until I hear your thoughts!



let me know what you settle on. I really want off Reel - which as you say - does seem to be a bit of an island.

@JohnPhilpin I’m staying with TV Forecast. I downloaded every one mentioned in this thread and a couple others. Some are nice but either bloated or over priced. TV Forecast works with Trakt, has no social aspect, no upselling, doesn’t ask for reviews, and has a nice design. It’s my winner.
