Moving over is the easy part

1

Add your shows

Search any show or movie and add it with one tap. Trending and For You picks help you rediscover what you were watching.

2

Mark seasons watched

One tap marks a whole season, or everything up to the episode you're on. Your progress bars are back before your coffee's cold.

3

Let it track for you

Connect Plex and new episodes mark themselves. From here on, Couchmark keeps score so you never have to.

Still have a TV Time export ZIP from before the shutdown? Import it and your whole history comes along, original watch dates included.

Choosing your TV Time replacement

Whatever app you pick, a few things matter: your full history should survive the move with its original watch dates, the app should feel native on your iPhone, and there should be no ads or subscription between you and your shows.

Couchmark is not the only tracker that can take over. Sofa Time and Showly also import TV Time data, and both are fine apps: the point of a migration is that your history ends up somewhere safe, wherever that is. Your export ZIP can be imported more than once, so you can try an app and change your mind.

What makes Couchmark's path different is how much of the export it reads: the full GDPR ZIP imports in one go, including every watched episode with its original date and your comments. The import is additive and safe to re-run, so importing twice never duplicates or deletes anything. And afterwards your data stays yours: Couchmark exports everything back out whenever you want it.

Two side notes: if your library leans anime, Couchmark’s anime tracking keeps episode titles and season order right, and if you are weighing Trakt as well, the Trakt comparison covers that move.

Frequently asked

TV Time, the episode tracker millions of people used, has shut down: the apps and the official export tool are offline. If you saved a GDPR export ZIP before the shutdown, your history is safe: import it into Couchmark and continue right where you left off. No export? Rebuilding is fast: mark whole seasons watched in one tap.

Search your shows and mark whole seasons watched in one tap; most libraries are rebuilt in minutes. Optionally connect Plex so new episodes track themselves.
More than one, honestly. Sofa Time and Showly also import TV Time data, and both are solid trackers. Couchmark's difference is the depth of the import (the full GDPR ZIP with original watch dates and comments, in one go, safe to re-run) plus a native iPhone app with no ads and no subscription. Pick whichever fits how you watch.
We're biased, but: Couchmark. It covers everything TV Time did (episode tracking, a release calendar, and a friends feed) and adds Plex auto-tracking, Overseerr/Jellyseerr requests, widgets and Siri shortcuts, without ads.
TV Time's export tool has gone offline. If you saved an export ZIP before the shutdown, import it into Couchmark: shows, every watched episode with its original date, and your watchlist come along in about a minute. No export? Mark whole seasons watched in one tap, or import from Trakt in the app.
Yes. Couchmark is completely free for now, and if you download it and create your account today you will never have to pay. As Couchmark grows, power features become a one-time purchase of 1 euro for new users: pay once, use it for life. That single euro keeps the servers running and the app alive and improving. Core tracking stays free for everyone. No subscription, no ads, ever.
No. Couchmark is a full tracker on its own. Plex and Overseerr/Jellyseerr are optional power-ups that make tracking automatic.
