How matching works
Your TV Time history is matched carefully.
TV Time exports TVDB and IMDb identifiers for many titles. tvcask uses those identifiers first, then checks the title and release year when the official export does not provide a usable catalog ID. Matched entries become normal tvcask library data, so you can keep tracking after the import.
Catalogs are not identical. Some titles may remain unmatched when the export is incomplete or the source catalogs disagree. Those titles are skipped instead of being linked to the wrong show or movie.
How it works
From TV Time export to tvcask library.
01
Export from TV Time
Request your data from the official TV Time GDPR page and keep the downloaded ZIP intact.
02
Upload to tvcask
tvcask reads shows, movies, episodes, favorites, and lists from the file.
03
Match real titles
TVDB and IMDb identifiers are resolved to TMDB catalog entries.
04
Keep watching
Your imported library becomes your watchlist, progress, lists, and profile.
A TV Time alternative built around your history.
Your imported TV Time data becomes working tvcask data: profile counts, episode progress, title details, lists, and continued tracking across the web app and the iPhone app.

TV Time import FAQ
Can I still export my data from TV Time?+
No. TV Time closed on July 15, 2026 and its GDPR self-service export is no longer available. If you downloaded gdpr-data.zip or a TV Time Out export before the shutdown, you can still upload it to tvcask.
Can I import my TV Time custom lists?+
Yes. tvcask imports TV Time custom lists and the titles inside each list when they can be matched to the catalog.
Do watched episodes carry over from TV Time?+
Yes. tvcask imports watched episode progress for shows, including season and episode numbers from the export.
What file do I upload?+
Upload the official gdpr-data.zip downloaded from TV Time. tvcask also supports ZIP files created by the TV Time Out Chrome extension.
Can I import a ZIP created by the TV Time Out extension?+
Yes. tvcask supports ZIP files created by the TV Time Out Chrome extension as well as the official TV Time GDPR export.
Is tvcask a TV Time alternative?+
tvcask is built as a watch history and tracking home for shows and movies, with TV Time import support for users moving over.
Is my TV Time data private?+
tvcask reads only the watch history files it needs. Account credentials, tokens, IP addresses, and device files in the official archive are ignored. The ZIP is not stored after it is parsed.
What happens when a title cannot be matched?+
TV Time and tvcask rely on different catalog identifiers. tvcask uses the identifiers and title details available in the export. Titles with incomplete or conflicting source data may remain unmatched and are skipped instead of being linked to the wrong title.
