TV Time Alternatives
The Best TV Time Alternatives
If you were one of TV Time's millions of TV trackers, your ritual needs a new home. TV Time shut down in July 2026 after more than 26.4 million lifetime installs. For years it was the place to log episodes, mark what you'd watched, and see what the community thought. Good news: several solid apps pick up where it left off. Here's an honest rundown, including where Logworm fits in.
1. Logworm — for people who track everything, not just TV
Logworm is a free iPhone app for logging movies, TV shows, books, and podcasts in one place.
- Cross-media logging in one place. Most trackers stop at movies and shows. Logworm also covers books and podcasts, so your whole entertainment diet lives in a single library.
- Head-to-head taste ranking. Pit two titles against each other and pick your favorite — over time it builds a real ranking of your taste.
- Predicted scores from your own ratings. Based on how you've rated and ranked things, Logworm predicts how much you'll like something you haven't watched yet.
- The stuff you'd expect, too: ratings and notes, a watch calendar and goals, XP and badges, people pages, and social discovery.
The honest caveat: Logworm can't import your TV Time history directly. It imports from Letterboxd, IMDb, and Goodreads; TV Time data needs to be re-logged manually.
2. Letterboxd — the movie lover's standard
The best-known movie diary app. If your TV Time habit was mostly about films, this is the natural landing spot: journal-style logging, lists, and a huge film community. It doesn't cover TV episodes with TV Time's granularity, and it doesn't do books or podcasts.
3. IMDb — the giant reference with tracking built in
Nearly everyone has used IMDb to look something up. Its watchlist and ratings work across movies and TV, and its database is the most comprehensive around. It's less of a personal diary and more of a reference site with tracking attached.
4. Goodreads — for the book side of your habit
If you used TV Time partly to track what you were watching and reading, Goodreads remains the standard book-logging community. Books only, though.
5. Serializd — the TV-and-film diary
Serializd positions itself as a social tracking app for TV shows and movies, with episode logging and reviews. One of the closest structural matches to TV Time for pure TV tracking.
6. Dedicated TV tracking apps
A handful of smaller apps focus on episode tracking and watchlists (search the App Store for "TV show tracker"). Good lightweight replacements if all you want is a check-off list — but most don't combine shows with movies, books, and podcasts, or offer taste ranking and predicted scores.

Can I import my TV Time history into Logworm?
No — there's no direct import from TV Time. Logworm imports from Letterboxd, IMDb, and Goodreads. Your TV Time episode history would need to be re-logged manually — many people find re-rating favorites is a good way to seed their taste profile.
Is Logworm free?
Yes. Logworm is free on iPhone.
Does Logworm track TV episodes like TV Time did?
Logworm logs shows (along with movies, books, and podcasts), with ratings, notes, watch goals, and a calendar. It's built around taste — ranking what you love and predicting what you'll love next — rather than being a pure episode check-off list.
What makes Logworm different from the other apps here?
Two things: it's cross-media (movies + shows + books + podcasts in one library), and it's taste-first (head-to-head rankings and predicted scores built from your own ratings, not from popularity).
