I just noticed that tvtime.com is being shut down on July 15th.

Are there any good open source alternatives? So far I know about

Interesting:

The company blamed the expense of running the platform as a reason behind the decision, *but a shift to a more AI-focused business seems to be the real culprit. *

Looks like there’s also Watcharr if you want to stick with piratey sounding apps.

Now since you have me looking… I installed Watcharr and it’s okay. Has a Discovery section. Easy to add things and mark them watched. But no stats, no integrations. It just seems a little barebones.

So I installed Yamtrack. The UI isn’t really as intuitive to me and there doesn’t seem to be a Discover function. BUT I love that it can track books, video games, and others as well. It also has Jellyfin integration.

I’m going to live with Yamtrack for a bit and see. It would be great to have a tracking app that also handles media requests. Seerr let’s you build a watchlist, but it isn’t all that helpful or fleshed out.

Oh! Good announcement. Thanks.

Might anyone know if there is a known way to export the “watched”/followed shows?

They’ll let you download your data.

Did not know, or care, they were still around.
