A Serializd alternative for shows, anime and movies
On Episodely, shows, anime and movies share one library, and the discussion lives under each single episode, hidden until you've watched it. You can bring in your TV Time export with your comments, or your Trakt and Simkl data, and use it in 13 languages.

How to start
- Sign up. On episodely.tv or in the Android app. Anyone can sign up, no invite needed.
- Bring in what you have. If you have a TV Time or Trakt export, or a Simkl backup, upload it from the import in Home or Settings: shows, movies, watched episodes and ratings come over.
- Add the rest by hand. Search for a show and use “Mark season as watched” for the seasons you've already finished.
- Open the episode discussion. Under every episode you mark as watched there are other people's comments. Comments on episodes you haven't seen yet stay hidden.
What Episodely doesn't do
| It doesn't | Why, and what happens instead |
|---|---|
| Import your Serializd export | Today the sources are TV Time, Trakt, Simkl, IMDb and Letterboxd. Coming from Serializd, you add shows by hand. |
| Bring your reviews over from another service | The import brings titles, watches and ratings. The exception is the TV Time GDPR export, which brings your top-level comments. |
| Run as an app on iPhone | There's an Android app today. On iPhone and iPad you use Episodely in the browser, and you can add it to your Home Screen. |
