Now on iPad and fully accessible. Track Watching, Binge, Watched & Gave Up, rate your favorites, and see when the next season drops.
Ever forget what you were watching? Or which streaming service it was on?
It happens to all of us — juggling recommendations, hopping between apps, or trying to remember that one show you meant to start.
What Was I Watching is a warm, simple place to keep track.
No accounts. No setup. No pressure. Just open it and jot down what you're watching or what you want to watch next.
Adding a show is just typing
Type a title — even a few words — and the app finds it, filling in the poster, genres, and details for you. That's the whole flow.
Rather snap than type? Turn on photo capture in Settings to add a show from a picture of your TV, a poster, or a screenshot.
Track Every State
Mark a show as Watching, Binge, Watched, or Gave Up — your list always reflects where you really are. Rate the ones you loved.
Your list becomes a clean, friendly collection you can browse anytime, organized by state, date, genre, or streaming service. Filter by movies or TV, by genre, or by who recommended it.
Track Your Seasons
Watching a series? The app tracks which season you're on and tells you when the next one is due. When a new season drops, just tap to move forward.
Designed for Everyone
Full VoiceOver and Voice Control support, Dynamic Type, high-contrast and reduced-motion modes, and clear labels throughout — the whole app is built to be used by everyone.
Made for iPad
A real iPad layout, not a stretched-up phone — browse your list and show details side by side.
Want to share a show with a friend?
Send them a link. They tap it, and the show opens right in the app, ready to add. It's fast — shared shows load instantly with full details.
Ask Siri
"Hey Siri, what was I watching?" Get a natural spoken summary of your list, grouped by streaming service.
Sync Across Your Devices
Add a show on your iPhone, see it on your iPad. iCloud keeps everything in sync automatically.
Widgets on iPhone
Keep your recent shows right on your Home Screen. A quick glance is all it takes to remember what you were watching.
Apple Watch App
Check your list from your wrist. Perfect for those "what was that show again" moments when your phone is not nearby.
Watch Widgets

Your Streaming Services

Had to come back and say this again (apparently the first time didn’t stick 😅), but this app deserves it.If you’ve ever wanted one place to keep track of what you’ve watched, what’s on your list, and what people keep recommending—you’ll get it immediately. It’s all there, and it just makes sense.No clutter. No unnecessary features. No learning curve.It’s one of those rare apps that feels thoughtfully made,simple in the best way, not stripped down. You open it and instantly know what to do, which is exactly how this kind of app should be.The ability to share recommendations adds just enough of a social layer without making it chaotic.Genuinely one of those “why hasn’t this always existed?” experiences.Still a 15/10.
Obsessed with this App!

This app is amazing. Seriously do not know what I did without it. In this age of a million and a half apps who the heck even knows where all the shows I watch are! I certainly don’t but guess what? This app does. It will save you from getting frustrated and distracted every time. Love love love!
