Never miss a new season. On a show that's still running, tap the bell to follow it. Kernel puts it in Upcoming with a countdown to the next season and lets you know when the premiere date is announced, then a week before, the day before and on the day. Coming from Letterboxd? Bring your watched films, watchlist and lists with you in about a minute, from Settings or the card on your Profile. Posters now open into their page, and a swipe down puts them back. And Kernel opens faster, with no more blank screen while it starts.

Kernel is now on Apple Watch. See everything you're waiting for with a countdown on each, ask Kernel AI for a movie or show right from your wrist, and add it to your list in one tap. New complications put your next release, or Kernel AI, on your watch face. The iPhone widgets are rebuilt. Countdown now comes in small, medium and large and on the Lock Screen, and moves on to your next release by itself. The new Up Next widget lists what's coming, and the Kernel AI widget opens AI search in one tap.

Share a movie, show or episode and the link now shows its poster and details in Messages. If your friend has Kernel, tapping the link opens it straight in the app. On an unfolded iPhone Duo, movie and show pages now sit on the blurred colours of their poster, just like on every other iPhone.

Kernel 4.1: rate what you watch. RATINGS • Rate movies, shows and episodes from half a star to five once they're out. Drag across the stars under the title, or tap one; drag past the first star to clear your rating. Sign in from Profile to rate. • Every title now shows its Kernel Rating: the average from Kernel users and how many have rated it. DISCOVER AND TOP 10 • The tabs are now Discover, Top 10, Search and Profile. Discover brings Movies and Shows together: switch between them next to the title. • Top 10 has its own tab: the chart for each streaming service, then everything else that's popular on streaming. LIQUID GLASS • On iOS 26, Kernel's buttons are made of glass, like the system's own. IMPROVEMENTS • Coming soon is ordered by popularity, and anniversary re-releases of old films no longer fill the top. • Playlists show the same poster as the title's page. • Upcoming no longer appears as "Tracklist" if you've used Kernel for a long time.

Remember when we said we were cooking something? Here it is: Kernel 4.0. MADE FOR iPHONE DUO • Unfold to reveal: open your iPhone Duo on any movie or show and the page opens with it. The poster settles in, light spreads out from the fold, the countdown takes center stage, and it ends on where you can watch it. • Cover Flow: close your Duo and turn it sideways, and Movies, Shows and your playlists become a Cover Flow. Flick through the covers and tap the one in the middle to open it. Switch between Featured and each service's Top 10 from the corner. • Every screen now fits the space it's given, folded or open, and on iPad in any window size. TOP 10 • What's hot on Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, Prime Video and HBO Max: pick Top 10 in the Movies or Shows menu on Home. KERNEL + SIRI • "What's out next in Kernel", "Showtimes near me in Kernel", "Ask Kernel what to watch". • Ask how long until a release or where to watch something, track a title, mark it as seen or add it to a list, all without opening the app. Every action is in the Shortcuts app too. • Looking at a title? On supported devices, Siri knows which one you mean. • Find your tracked titles in Spotlight, and open AI search with one press from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action Button. WIDGETS • Each countdown widget now follows its own title, so you can count down to several releases at once. FIXES • Movie and show pages no longer keep reloading. • Fixed a crash after adding a title to a list.

Liquid Glass is here! Along with a fresh batch of bug fixes and improvements to keep things running smoothly. And that’s not all… we’re cooking something.
