Summary: Sofa Time is a beautiful, polished Apple app that syncs with Trakt and Simkl — a great showcase for anyone already living in those services on iPhone or iPad. Episodary wins for anyone who wants to bring their TV Time history over faithfully, use it on any device today (web and PWA, no beta waitlist), and in multiple languages: it has a native, faithful importer that rebuilds stats, badges, and Wrapped. TV Time shut down on July 15; if you saved your export, you can still bring it in.

When Sofa Time is the best choice
If you're an iPhone/iPad person and already use Trakt or Simkl as your source, Sofa Time is a beautiful native app for consuming that data with an Apple look and feel. For anyone who values the polish of the Apple ecosystem and doesn't mind keeping their data on Trakt/Simkl underneath, it's a pleasant choice.
When Episodary is the best choice
If the priority is reuniting with TV Time — your entire history, faithfully — Episodary imports the official export directly (real dates, counts, favorites, reactions, comments) and turns it all into stats, badges, and a shareable Wrapped. And you don't need an iPhone or a spot in a beta waitlist: it works on the web and as an installable PWA right now, on any device, in multiple languages, with a broad catalog (telenovelas, K-dramas, anime, reality TV, web series) and a spoiler-free community by design.

iPhone/iPad in the Trakt/Simkl ecosystem, with a polished native app: Sofa Time. Bringing TV Time over faithfully, on any device, right now, in multiple languages: Episodary. Also check out the full comparison and the step-by-step import guide.
