How to choose
tvcask
Made for this move. It reads shows, movies, watched episodes, favorites, and custom lists from your export, and it also takes ZIP files from the TV Time Out extension. It is new and built by one developer. There is no Android app, no automatic tracking from media players, and no import from other trackers yet.
Trakt
The established choice if you want your tracking connected to everything else. Media center and third-party app support is its main strength. Free accounts have limits on items such as watchlists and lists, so check them against the size of your library.
Simkl
A good fit if you follow anime as well, because it has anime-specific data and calendars. It also connects to Plex, Kodi, and Jellyfin. Its TV Time guide describes importing series watch history, so check how it handles movies and lists if those matter to you.
Serializd
Closest to Letterboxd for TV. Pick it if reviews and following other people matter more than a detailed library. It focuses on TV, so it may not suit you if you track a lot of movies.
Questions
Can I still export my data from TV Time?
No. TV Time closed on July 15, 2026, and tvcask's import relies on an export you downloaded before then. Without a saved export, you will need to rebuild your library by hand.
Which TV Time alternative is the best?
It depends on what you need. To bring your TV Time favorites and custom lists with your history, try tvcask. On Android or with a media center, Trakt or Simkl will suit you better. For reviews and a social feed, try Serializd.
Which alternatives work on Android?
Trakt, Simkl, and Serializd list Android apps. tvcask works in an Android browser, but it has no Android app.
