A TV Time alternative for tracking shows with people you trust
TV Time’s official homepage now displays a farewell message. If your main goal is to keep a movie and TV list and exchange recommendations inside a small group on Apple devices, Rekko can be an option—with a few important limitations to understand first.
Information checked on August 21, 2026
TV Time was built around tracking, discovery and a large entertainment community. Its official homepage no longer presents the product and currently thanks its community instead.

Moving your watch history
Rekko can export its own data, but it cannot yet import a TV Time export. We state that plainly because a comparison page should never promise a migration that does not exist. If restoring history immediately is essential, Trakt currently advertises importing TV Time metadata. You can return to Rekko when import arrives, or start a fresh journal for what you watch next.
Privacy and social model
Rekko replaces the large social network with invitation-only circles. Tracked titles, ratings and recommendations sync through iCloud; JibStudios does not operate a server storing your journal, and the app includes neither ads nor third-party analytics trackers.
