I couldn't handle the APPLE TV app anymore... so I made my own

I tinkered with every Trakt client on Apple TV and couldnt settle on one... so I made my own based on what was working for me. I also truly miss "watch aid" which was an app I used very often! So, taking the things I loved from other trackers, I made this. It's called WatchQueue: a native Apple TV client for Trakt.

  • Sign in with Trakt and your watchlist, continue-watching, and history are just there — nothing trapped in my app, it's all your Trakt account.
  • Plex support if you self-host — it knows what's already in your library.
  • A Discover that leans on what you watch instead of a generic top-10, and a proper "what do I watch next" flow, which was the whole reason I started.
  • No ads, no feed, no upsell. Just your stuff.

I'm posting here because you all actually live in Trakt, so you're the people whose feedback I trust most. If you've got an Apple TV and a Trakt account, I'd love to know what feels off or what you'd want next. (Link in the comments.) IOS is coming in the near future...

BUG: movies that don't match my streaming services show up in watchlist

There's a new bug in justwatch on Android and web. Watchlist is showing a whole lot of movies that aren't on my services even when I choose "my services".

I have 168 total movies in my watch list, and 21 are available on services in the "my services" list.

When I choose "my services", however, 104 movies still show up, most without a "watch now" button (because they're not available on any of my services).

A workaround is that if I go into filters and check "free" and "subscription" under "price", then it correctly shows the 21 movies available on my services. But it should be showing just the movies available on my services without having to filter.

How Do You Keep Track of Everything You Watch?

With so many movies, shows, and live content available these days, I find it surprisingly easy to forget what I've already watched or what I wanted to watch next. I've tried keeping lists, using watchlists, and even relying on recommendations, but I'm always looking for a better way to stay organized.

How do you keep track of everything you watch?

Building an open-source, privacy-first alternative to TV Time

With TV Time shutting down, I've been building a free and open-source movie/TV tracker as an alternative.

What it does:

  • Track what you've watched, rate it, keep a watchlist
  • Browse and explore movies/shows (powered by TMDB)
  • Import your TV Time GDPR export directly — no manual re-entry
  • Your data stays yours: everything is stored locally on your device, with optional encrypted backup to your own Google Drive. No account on my servers, no ads, no tracking.

It's fully open-source, and will stay that way.

Still in active development, aiming to have a testable build ready in the next 2 weeks. Will share here as soon as it's out — if you're interested in trying it early, drop a comment.

Why is Plex Free Not a Listed Streaming Service?

Only Plex "Live TV" is available as a streaming service on the app? I often find movies available for free on Plex's free version, which aren't available elsewhere. Why wouldn't this streaming service be available as a choice?
