Looking for a TV Time alternative?
Media Tracker is a free show tracker built around one question: what’s next, and when? Follow your shows and it keeps every next-episode date current and reminds you the day before — alongside the films, games, books and music you’re waiting on.
Why TV watchers switch
Always know what airs next
Follow a show and Media Tracker tracks its next episode’s air date for you. Dates are re-checked every day, so mid-season gaps, schedule shuffles and newly announced seasons all stay accurate.
A reminder the day before — not after
Get an email or push notification the day before a new episode or season drops. No more opening an app to find out you’re three episodes behind.
Your shows next to everything else
TV lives in the same follow list and release calendar as the films, games, books and music you’re waiting on. One place for everything you’re tracking, not a separate app per medium.
Free, no ads, runs anywhere
Media Tracker is free and ad-free, works in any browser, and installs to your home screen as an app — including push notifications on iOS and Android.

What TV Time still does better
An honest note: TV Time has a big mobile community, slick per-episode check-ins and watch progress, and reaction and badge features Media Tracker doesn’t have — and there’s no one-tap import of your TV Time history yet, so you re-follow your shows by hand. Media Tracker is the better fit if what you really want is accurate next-episode dates and a reminder before each one drops, for TV and everything else you track, in one free app.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Media Tracker a good TV Time alternative?
- It is if your main reason for using TV Time is keeping up with what airs next and not missing new episodes or seasons. Media Tracker tracks next-episode air dates for the shows you follow and reminds you the day before — across TV, films, games, books and music in one place.
- Can I import my TV Time shows?
- Not yet — there is no one-click TV Time import. You follow the shows you want to track, which takes a minute. Once followed, episode and season dates are kept up to date for you automatically.
- Does it notify me before a new episode airs?
- Yes. Follow a show and Media Tracker emails or push-notifies you the day before its next episode or season releases. Air dates are re-synced daily, so changes to the schedule reach you automatically.
- What does TV Time still do better?
- TV Time has a large, mobile-first community, polished episode check-in and progress tracking, and social features around reactions and watchlists. Media Tracker focuses on release tracking and day-before alerts across all your media rather than on community and per-episode check-ins.
