TV Time Alternatives
By Based team · Updated Feb 2026
TV Time is great for tracking, but many people want a tool that helps them decide what to watch next, not just what they already watched.
The best alternatives focus on recommendations that are short, explainable, and tailored to your pace.
What to prioritize
- Short, human explanations for each pick.
- Signals from actual ratings and watch behavior.
- Fewer options to reduce decision fatigue.
If your app helps you track but not decide, you are still stuck at the hardest part.
