Built an anime + TV tracker with home screen countdown widgets because I was tired of checking release dates everywhere
Because this sub is related to streaming anime.
I built an anime tracker because I was tired of constantly checking multiple apps/sites or reading articles just to know when the next episode was dropping.
So for the last 2 months, my friend and I have been working on NextDrop: an anime + TV tracker focused around home screen widgets and episode countdowns.
The idea was simple:instead of opening an app every few hours, the next release should just be visible on your home screen.
Some features:
• episode countdowns + airing times
• anime & TV tracking in one app
• customizable home screen widgets
• quick search/add shows
• live release updates
My younger brother also made the promo video I’m attaching here.(when you’re low on budget but you remember your brother has been learning video editing)
We launched recently and crossed 140+ installs in around 3 weeks, which honestly feels pretty surreal for a small side project. We’ve been listening to feedback and continuously improving the app with every update.
Currently working on smarter grouped notifications, so instead of getting spammed, you’d get something like “4 of your tracked shows release new episodes today” and many more things.
I’d genuinely love feedback on:
• whether the widgets are actually useful long-term
• UI/UX stuff that feels annoying or confusing
• anything missing that would make you keep using it
And what's with the music choice? Because Dhurandhar fever is still on!
