The short answer: if your goal is to migrate your TV Time history without losing anything, Episodary is the option closest to the original experience. Trakt and Simkl also import TV Time today — but Episodary is the only one that preserves fidelity (dates, reactions, comments) and rebuilds your stats, badges, and a shareable Wrapped, with the broadest catalog of the group (telenovelas, K-dramas, anime, reality TV). If your priority is something else, each app has its own calling: Trakt for automation, Simkl for anime, Serializd for TV show reviews, and Banco de Séries as an established Brazilian option. Below, all five side by side. Just so you know: TV Time shut down on July 15, 2026 — if you saved your export before then, you can still bring it in.

Why Episodary is the closest thing to TV Time
For millions of people, TV Time was the place where an episode became a ritual: check it off, react, compare hours watched. Episodary was born out of that farewell with a mission none of the others on this list has taken on — being the home for everything you watch and rebuilding your history faithfully. The import is free and preserves real dates (from 2016 to 2026), official episode counts, favorites, rewatches, reactions, and comments. And at the moment of reunion, the import becomes a showcase: stats rebuilt, badges unlocked, and a Wrapped ready to share.
Frequently asked questions
Which app imports TV Time history for free?
Several apps import the TV Time export today: Episodary, Trakt (native importer, ~95% accuracy), and Simkl (ZIP importer, with servers under pressure from migration traffic). Banco de Séries is still building the feature. Episodary's edge is fidelity — dates, reactions, and comments — and rebuilding your stats, badges, and Wrapped, with the broadest catalog of the group (telenovelas, K-dramas, anime, reality TV).
Can I still export my TV Time data?
No. TV Time shut down on July 15, 2026, and the export portal went offline with it. If you downloaded your ZIP in time, just bring it in — see the step-by-step import guide. If you didn't, unfortunately the data has been deleted; the best move now is an app that always keeps your data exportable.
