Introducing StillWatching 📺 — the tracker that just tracks

You know the feeling. You meant to watch The Bear Season 3. Then life happened. Now you can't remember if you finished Season 2 or stopped at Episode 4. Was it the one with the divorce? The funeral? You give up and Google it — which takes longer than just starting from Episode 1. 😮‍💨

This is a solved problem — TV trackers have existed for years. The trouble is that most of them have drifted from the one job you actually need them to do.

So we built StillWatching — and the iOS app lands this month. 🚀

😤 The trackers we have

You already know what I'm going to say. TV Time is a social network that happens to track shows. Trakt is powerful if you live in 2012 and don't mind the UI. Letterboxd is great for movies but thin for TV. Every option forces a tradeoff between features you didn't ask for and the one thing you actually need: knowing where you left off.

Open most of them and you get a carousel of "what's trending," a friend feed you never asked for, an algorithmic recommendations rail built on data you didn't agree to share, and seven ways to mark yourself as "watching." Buried somewhere underneath is your watchlist — the reason you came. You find your show. It says "Season 3," but you can't tell if that's what you're on or what's available. You give up and open Netflix.

We wanted something better.

✨ What we built

StillWatching has one job: keep track of where you are. Everything below serves that — nothing fights it.

• 📺 Episode-exact progress. Every show reads in S01E02 format everywhere — watchlist, detail page, progress bar. On Season 1 Episode 2? You see S01E02. Finished it? S01E02 ✓. No abstract percentages that map to nothing.
• 🔔 New-episode alerts. Get a push the day a new episode of a show you're watching actually drops — no more checking three apps to find out it's back.
• ⭐ Ratings that mean something. A full 10-point scale, not a blunt 5 stars — because an 8 and a 10 are not the same show. Tap a star to rate, tap again to undo.
• 📥 One-tap import. Coming from TV Time (be honest, it's been useful) or sitting on an IMDb export? Bring your watchlist, progress, and history over in one step. We won't make you start over.
• 🍿 Where to watch — and tickets. See which services carry a show in your region, and grab cinema tickets for what's in theaters, right from the detail page.
• 💬 Talk about the episode. Drop a reaction on the episode you just finished and see what other people thought — with real moderation behind it, not a free-for-all.
• 🔄 Sync everywhere. Your progress follows you across devices. Mark an episode on the couch, it's there on your phone.
• 📤 Your data stays yours. Export everything you've tracked anytime, free, in clean open formats. It's your viewing history — you should be able to walk out with it whenever you like, no lock-in.

What you won't find: ads, an engagement-farming feed, or an algorithm deciding what you should watch next. The discussion is opt-in and lightweight. The point is your shows, not your screen time.

🤔 The name

We almost called it something generic. Tracker. WatchList. Watcher. Then we sat with the actual question people ask when they open an app like this, and realized it isn't "what did I watch?" It's "am I still watching?"

That question — are you still watching? — is the whole thing. Not a catalog of your viewing history. A living answer to whether you're keeping up, whether the show's still on your radar, whether life let you hold the thread.

That's StillWatching.

🚀 What's next

We're launching on purpose-built foundations, not a pile of features. The core loop — search a show, add it, mark episodes — is rock solid. Sync works. Import works. New-episode alerts work. The iOS app arrives on the App Store this month, and the web app is live right now.

Everything beyond that, we'll add when it's ready — not before.

Want to try it? It's live at stillwatching.tv — signing up takes about ten seconds, and your shows sync across every device from there.

We'll be writing here about what we're building, what we're thinking, and — occasionally — what went wrong. Thanks for reading. 👋
