Track What You Watch
On Your Devices

ScreenQue is the Apple-native movie & TV tracker — built for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Local-first, iCloud-synced, privacy-respecting. No account. No signup. No server that sees your data.

Free for 60 days · Then from CHF 3/month, CHF 23/year or CHF 73 once · Requires iOS 17, macOS 14, or tvOS 17

Your watch history is yours. Full stop.

ScreenQue stores everything on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud account. No one — including me — can see what you watch. No accounts to manage. No tiers, no limits invented to make you upgrade. And if you ever want to leave, your data exports to JSON or CSV — during the trial, after it, always.

“What ScreenQue knows about you: nothing. What I know about you: nothing. What Apple knows: only that you use iCloud.”

Features

Everything, from day one.

There is no basic version and no upgrade to hunt for. Every feature below is in the app the moment you install it, on every platform.

Discover & search

Trending, popular, and upcoming movies and shows, powered by TMDB — plus fast search across both, with rich details, trailers, cast & crew, and full filmographies.

Unlimited watchlist & history

Track everything you want to watch and everything you’ve watched — no caps, no restrictions, no account required.

Episode-level TV progress

Season-by-season, episode-by-episode tracking with Up Next, continue watching, and rewatch support.

Half-star ratings

Rate anything from 0.5 to 5 stars in half-star steps — from “Terrible” to “Masterpiece”.

Notes with context

Personal notes with Markdown, ||spoiler|| hiding, and structured context — where you watched, who with, and the mood. On movies, shows, and single episodes.

Episode reactions

React to every episode with one of eight emotions — from 😍 to 🤯 to 😱. Your gut response, remembered.

Tags, lists & collection

Organize with your own tags — “comfort rewatch”, “date night”, anything — plus personal lists with manual ordering and a collection of what you own. No caps on any of them.

Sort, filter, personalize

Sort by date, title, year, rating, runtime, or popularity. Filter by genre, decade, rating, tags, or notes. Hide anything you don’t want surfacing again — as much as you like. Eight app icons to finish the job.

Diary & episode calendar

A calendar view of your watch history, upcoming episodes by week or month, air-date and release notifications timed the way you want them, and Apple Calendar integration.

Where to watch

See where anything streams, rents, or sells in your region — streaming availability data by JustWatch, via TMDB.

Widgets & Siri

Six widgets for Home Screen and Lock Screen, four Siri Shortcuts, and screenque:// deep links — your queue, one glance away.

26 languages

Use ScreenQue in 26 languages, switch instantly at runtime, and browse TMDB metadata in the language you choose.

iCloud sync

Watchlist, history, ratings, notes, tags, reactions, and lists — synced across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV through your own iCloud. Zero configuration, no ScreenQue account.

Your data, portable

Export your entire library as JSON or CSV, and import from Trakt, Letterboxd, TV Time, IMDb, or any CSV. Export never stops working, whatever you decide at the end of the trial.

On the roadmap ScreenQue Insights: personalized recommendations powered by on-device Core ML. No cloud calls — your taste profile never leaves your device.

Platforms

Native everywhere Apple is.

Not a web wrapper on any of them — four SwiftUI apps that feel at home on each screen.

iPhone

Tab-based tracking on the go, with widgets, notifications, and Siri Shortcuts.

iPad

A sidebar layout that uses the whole canvas — browse, track, and plan side by side.

Mac

A true native Mac app — not Catalyst — with keyboard navigation and desktop density.

Apple TV

Your queue on the big screen: browse, pick tonight’s episode, and mark it watched from the couch.

One purchase covers all four. iCloud sync connects every one of them through your own Apple ID.

Switching?

Bring your history with you.

Coming from Trakt, TV Time, Letterboxd, or IMDb? ScreenQue imports your watch history, ratings, and lists — and it does it on day one, so you can judge the app on your own library rather than an empty one.

From Trakt

Import your full Trakt account export — history, ratings, lists, and hidden items — in one pass. Your watch history doesn’t have to live on someone else’s server.

From TV Time

Bring your TV Time backup across and keep every episode you’ve logged.

From Letterboxd

Import your Letterboxd diary and ratings — and finally track TV in the same place.

From IMDb & CSV

IMDb watchlists and exports, or any generic CSV — a guided wizard matches everything against TMDB with a dry run before anything is written.

FAQ

Fair questions, honest answers.

Why iCloud and not a custom cloud?

Because you already have iCloud. Because Apple manages it better than I could. Because privacy is built in. Because it’s free for you. Sync runs through your own iCloud account — there is no ScreenQue server, and I couldn’t read your data even if I wanted to.

Is ScreenQue a Trakt client?

No. ScreenQue doesn’t connect to a Trakt account and doesn’t sync with Trakt — it’s fully independent, built on TMDB metadata and your own iCloud. If you’re leaving Trakt, ScreenQue imports your full Trakt account export, including watch history, ratings, and lists.

Does the Apple TV app sync too?

Yes. iCloud sync connects all four apps — iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV — through your own Apple ID. One purchase covers every platform; you never buy ScreenQue twice.

What happens after 60 days?

ScreenQue switches to read-only. Everything you have already tracked stays exactly where it is — viewable, searchable, and exportable — and you can still browse and search TMDB. What stops is new input: adding titles, marking things watched, rating, editing notes and tags, importing, and syncing. Unlock the app and it all picks up again. The one thing I will never do is hold your history hostage.

What data does ScreenQue collect?

Your tracking data stays on your devices and in your own iCloud. The app uses privacy-respecting analytics hosted in the EU to understand which features matter — never what you watch, and you can opt out entirely in Settings. Details in the Privacy Policy.

Can I get my data out again?

Always. Export your entire library as JSON or CSV at any time — during the trial, after it, and whether or not you ever buy. No lock-in is the whole point.

Is there a social feed?

No — and there won’t be. No friends, no feeds, no comments. ScreenQue is a private tracker, not a social network.
