TV Time alternative · updated October 2026
The TV Time alternative that brings your history with you.
TV Time shut down on 15 July 2026. haveseen is a free show, anime and movie tracker that reads your TV Time export, puts every episode you ticked back where it was, and keeps the parts people loved: episode discussions, reactions, badges and a “what’s next” list.
Import my TV Time dataTV Time vs haveseen
Quick answer: the closest replacement for TV Time is an app that does three things — imports your TV Time export, tracks every episode with an up-next list and calendar, and has a community around each episode. haveseen does all three, works on any phone or computer, and is free.
What happened to TV Time
TV Time closed on 15 July 2026. The app was removed from the App Store and Google Play, tvtime.com went offline, and users were asked to download their data through TV Time’s export before the deadline, after which watch histories were deleted. Millions of people who used it to tick off episodes, follow upcoming releases and talk about shows suddenly needed somewhere else to go.
Look for the .zip file TV Time sent you — usually a download link emailed after you requested your data. Inside there’s a file called tracking-prod-records-v2.csv: that’s your watch history, and it’s all haveseen needs.

Other TV Time alternatives
haveseen isn’t the only option, and the right app depends on how you watch. Here’s an honest look at the other trackers TV Time users moved to.
Trakt
Best known for automatic tracking (“scrobbling”) from media players and smart TVs. A strong choice if you mainly watch through apps that connect to it.
Simkl
A tracker covering TV, films and anime in one place, with a large catalogue.
Serializd
Leans into reviews: rating and writing about shows and seasons, in the style of Letterboxd.
SeriesGuide and Showly
Open-source Android apps focused on personal tracking rather than community.
Bingers
A newer social TV tracker built around a watch-next list.
haveseen
Reads your TV Time export directly, keeps TV Time’s episode-by-episode community (discussions, reactions, memes), covers shows, anime and films, and works on any phone or computer.
How to choose a TV Time replacement
- Can it read your TV Time export? Re-ticking hundreds of shows by hand takes hours. haveseen imports the .zip directly.
- Does it track individual episodes? Some apps only track whole shows. TV Time users usually want episode-level tracking and an up-next list.
- Is there a community per episode? If you enjoyed reading reactions after each episode, look for episode discussions, not just reviews.
- Does it cover anime and films? Many TV Time users tracked all three.
- Will it work on your devices? haveseen works in any browser on iPhone, Android and computers, and syncs between them with a free account.
- Can you leave? haveseen lets you export a full backup of your list at any time.
Didn’t download your TV Time data in time?
TV Time’s data can’t be recovered after the shutdown, but you can rebuild most of your history quickly: import your Netflix viewing history and Prime Video watch history, bring over a Trakt, Letterboxd or MyAnimeList export if you used one, then use “Up to here” on any show to tick off everything you’ve seen in one go.
Pick up where TV Time left off
Drop your export and see your shows come back in about a minute. Free, no account needed to try.
Import my TV Time dataTV Time alternative: common questions
Is TV Time really gone?
Yes. TV Time shut down on 15 July 2026: the apps were removed from the stores and the website went offline.
Can I still get my TV Time data back?
Only if you downloaded your export before the shutdown. If you did, import the .zip into haveseen and your history comes back. If not, you can rebuild it from Netflix, Prime Video, Trakt, Letterboxd or MyAnimeList, or tick shows off quickly with “Up to here”. Step-by-step recovery guide.
What is the best TV Time alternative?
It depends what you used TV Time for. If you want your history back plus episode tracking, an upcoming calendar and episode discussions in one free app, haveseen is built for exactly that. If you mainly want automatic tracking from media players, Trakt is worth a look; for written reviews, Serializd.
Is haveseen free?
Yes. Importing, tracking, discussions and alerts are free, and a free account syncs your list across devices.
Does haveseen work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It runs in any browser, and you can add it to your Home Screen so it opens like an app.
Is my TV Time export uploaded anywhere?
No. The .zip is opened in your browser. Only the shows and films you choose to add are saved — to your browser, or to your account if you’re signed in.
Which file do I need?
The .zip from TV Time’s data export. If you’ve already unzipped it, drop tracking-prod-records-v2.csv instead.
Does it work for anime I tracked on TV Time?
Yes. Anime is imported with the same season and episode numbers you had on TV Time.
Do my TV Time comments, reactions and badges come across?
No — TV Time’s export only contains your watch history. haveseen has its own episode discussions, reactions and badges, so you can pick those up again here.
