Plex & Jellyfin sync — watching is marking

Connect your own media server once (about ninety seconds), and finishing an episode there marks it watched here — no tapping, no remembering. The bell, your digest, and your household's picks all stay right on their own. Free on every plan, on the profile page.

My Movies + streaming-date reminders

Add any movie to your list from its page. When a movie you're waiting on hits streaming, your daily digest rings the bell — computed against your local calendar, not a server clock. Movies you track now live on your home page too.

Delete your account, and partial data control

Native Trakt JSON import

Trakt only exports JSON — so we import it natively now, zip and all. Found thanks to our first outside bug report, fixed the same weekend.

Real streaming availability

Watch-on buttons now come from live provider data — 800+ shows with per-service availability, deduped and honest (no more "Amazon Video" and "Prime Video" pretending to be different apps).
