Moving from TV Time to JustReel
TV Time is winding down. Here's how to pick up your episode tracking on JustReel in a couple of minutes — and what you get that you didn't have before.
If you've spent years ticking off episodes in TV Time, the news that it's winding down stings a bit. That little habit — open the app, mark the episode, see what's next — becomes part of how you watch. Losing the tool is one thing. Losing the sense of where you're up to across a dozen shows is another.
The good news: you can get all of that back, and then some, on JustReel. Here's how.
Getting set up
There's no big import to wrestle with. You start fresh and get tracking in three steps:
- Sign up. It's free, no credit card.
- Add your shows. Search each title you were following and add it to your Reel Deck.
- Set where you're up to. Mark the last episode you watched on each show. That's it — JustReel now knows what's next for every show you follow.
Give yourself ten minutes with a cup of tea and you'll have your whole watchlist rebuilt, sitting exactly where you left it.
What carries over
Everything you actually used TV Time for is here:
- Episode-level tracking for TV, and movies too.
- Next up at a glance — every show on your Deck shows the exact next episode, like
S03E07 · The Rains of Castamere. - A social feed so you can see what friends are watching and compare notes.
What's new
A few things TV Time never did:
- Shared watchlists your friends can actually edit. Not a read-only link — a real collaborative list where everyone you invite can add, remove and reorder titles. Handy for couples, flatmates and movie nights.
- AI recommendations that learn from what you watch and rate, and point you at things worth your time.
- Achievements as you explore genres and finish series, if that's your kind of thing.
About the free tier
We know why a lot of people left TV Time before it wound down: the free version got worse over time. JustReel's free tier is meant to stay genuinely useful — track as much as you like, build collections, earn achievements, no forced ads. If you want to support the project, there's a tip jar, but nothing here is paywalled behind it.
