Cross-platform show/anime tracking apps feel bloated and unreliable
Viewers who track which episode of a show or anime they last watched find existing tracker apps (e.g., TV Time) slow, ad-heavy, or unreliable, resorting to plain notes apps instead. A hobbyist built a free tracker with progress tracking, tier lists, and friend activity to address this.

Seasonal anime info is scattered across sites with no unified tracker
Anime viewers must visit multiple sites to determine what is airing this season, when episodes drop, the correct watch order, and to track their own viewing progress. No single destination reliably combines schedule data, watch order guidance, and personal tracking in one place.
