A TV tracker for people whose taste matters to their job. Log what you watch, rate it, note why you watched it, and see how the rest of the room is spending their nights.
Getting started
- Add a show — use + Log Show for one-by-one or Bulk Add to paste a list of titles. We match against TMDB so posters and metadata are free.
- Rate seasons individually — overall stars are useful, but per-season ratings show your taste arc.
- Set Watch Intent — flag things you watched for work (Comp Research, Staffing, Marketing Research, etc.) so you can filter them out of casual stats later.
- Follow members — friends' recent logs show up on your home page once you follow them.
Industry tools
- Pitch Comps — group shows into named comp sets when you're pitching a project. Export to CSV when you need to share.
- Dev Pipeline — track projects in development you're following or working on.
- Scripts Read — log scripts with coverage notes and ratings, separate from watched shows.
- My Credits — flag shows where you have a professional credit (Writer, Director, Marketing Lead, etc.).
- Compare — side-by-side metadata, cast, and crew for two shows.
- Year in Review — your watching stats by year.
Social features
- Members — browse everyone on the site, follow people whose taste lines up with yours.
- Lists — make curated lists (Best of 2024, Comfort Rewatches, etc.) and share them.
- Magic — paste a few shows you love and get TMDB-powered recommendations.
- Your Vibe — an AI roast of your taste, refreshed automatically. Inscrutable. Sometimes accurate.
- Watch Races — time-boxed binge competitions with mutuals. See the full guide below.
Watch Races
A Watch Race pits you against one or more mutuals on a TV show, on a clock you pick. Whoever logs the most episodes inside the race window wins. It's the social-pressure shortcut for finally finishing the show your group chat won't shut up about.
Starting one
- From any mutual's Compare page, or from the show detail page if you both have it tracked.
- Pick a title, an end date, and one or more mutuals to invite. Only people who follow you back can be invited.
- The race auto-adds the show to your library as Currently Watching if it wasn't already.
Scoring
- Window only: episodes you log between the race's start and end count. Anything backdated outside the window is ignored — useful if you want to start a race for a show you've already watched half of.
- Tiebreaker: if you and an opponent have the same episode count, whoever is further into the show (higher season/episode) ranks higher.
- Counts are live: if you remove an episode log (from the race page or the show detail page), your race count drops accordingly. Nothing is cached.
Notifications
- Your opponents get one push per binge, not one per episode. We dedupe race-progress notifications inside a ~4-hour window to keep DMs sane.
- If you go quiet for a few hours and then log again, the dedupe window resets — your next log re-fires the ping. So a comeback is still noticed.
- Two simultaneous races on the same show against different opponents are independent — both groups get pinged for the same log.
Fixing a mis-log
- Right after logging, a Undo link appears in the success banner for ~10 seconds.
- If you notice the mis-log later, the race page shows a Last logged: SxEy · Remove chip in the log panel. Remove takes it back off the leaderboard and out of your library.
Finishing early
- The race auto-ends the moment any participant logs the last aired episode of the show. No need to wait for the clock to run out.
- The first racer to hit the finale is recorded as the winner — even if two people finish the same evening, whoever's log lands first takes it.
- When the race ends early, every other racer gets a race_finished notification with a link to the race page.
Leaving
- You can leave a race at any time — you drop off the leaderboard but the show stays in your library so you can keep watching at your own pace.
- The race itself continues for the remaining participants, even if everyone leaves (it just becomes a ghost race in the listing).
FAQ
Can I export my data? Yes — Shows page has a CSV export, and each Pitch Comp can be exported individually.
Why didn't my episode count in the race? The leaderboard only counts logs whose timestamp falls between the race's start and end. If you backdated an episode to before the race began, that's by design — see the Watch Races scoring section above.
Are my friends getting spammed when I binge? No — we send one race-progress notification per opponent per ~4-hour window, regardless of how many episodes you log in that stretch.
