OpenTV

Your TV Time history,
somewhere it can't be taken away.

OpenTV imports your full TV Time export and rebuilds every episode, date and rating on your own phone. No account. No server. Free.

Free, no ads, no subscription for the tracker.

Leaving TV Time?

  1. Ask TV Time for your data. They are required to send it — it arrives as a ZIP of spreadsheets that is almost unreadable on its own.
  2. Open OpenTV and hand it the ZIP. Every show, every episode, every watch date, every rating and comment goes back where it belongs.
  3. Carry on watching. Nothing was lost, and nothing needs an account.

If you used one of the community browser extensions to export instead, OpenTV reads those too.

Where your data actually lives

On your phone, in a database only you can read. The tracker makes no request to any server of ours. There is an optional community — comments, ratings, follows — and joining it is the only thing that ever sends anything. Even then, your episode-by-episode watch history and its dates never leave the device.

You can export everything, any time, in TV Time's own format. Leaving is as easy as arriving — which is the point.

What's in it

Watch Next

The next unwatched episode of everything you follow, in one list.

Home-screen widgets

On iOS and Android both.

Real statistics

Time watched, by year, by show, by genre — calculated on the device.

Films too

Watched, watchlist, and the runtime maths that goes with them.

Six languages

English, Arabic (right-to-left), French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (BR).

An optional community

Comment on episodes, rate them, follow people. Skip it entirely and the app never phones home.

Open source

The app is public under the MPL-2.0 licence, so the import pipeline stays available to the people who need it — read it, build it yourself, or improve it. Source on GitHub.

Show and film information comes from TheTVDB and TMDB.
