Discover what’s next
Tap any creator, genre, or network to explore more, and get a whole shelf of shows like the ones you already love.
Picked for You
A shelf ranked by your own taste, not by what’s trending. Each pick tells you why it’s there, right down to the show you loved that earned it.
Browse by genre
Start from a mood instead of a title. Pick a genre and work through what’s worth your time in it.
Watch the trailer
Preview a show’s trailer right from its page, so you know what you’re in for before you press play.
AI Discovery
Optional AI recommendations read what you’ve loved and suggest what to watch next, on only when you enable it.
Episode ratings at a glance
See a whole season’s TMDb and IMDb episode scores on one clean chart, so you know which stretches are worth it.
Home-screen widget
Your Up Next episode, right on your home screen, so the next thing to watch is always one tap away.
Mark it watched without opening the app
Tick off an episode straight from the notification, or ask Siri and the Shortcuts app to do it for you.
Your library, yours to keep
Export everything you have rated, watched and noted, as JSON or spreadsheet-ready CSV. Ratings, episode progress, notes and rewatch counts, all of it, in Settings under Your Library.
Share your Taste Snapshot
Your stats as a card worth sending: what kind of viewer you are, your numbers, your top genres, and the shows behind them.
The feeling
Less “where was I?” More “let’s watch.”
You always know the exact episode you’re up to.
It tells you when a show you love comes back.
Your progress is on every device, and nowhere else.
Privacy
Your watch history stays yours.
How to TV is built local-first, with private iCloud sync and no third-party accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. Your shows, progress, and ratings are stored on your device and in your own iCloud, powered by TV data from TMDb.
