There are dozens of apps to track TV shows, like TV Time, SeriesGuide, and Hobi.
They are great for social features and stats. But what if you just want to know when to watch?
😫 The "App Fatigue" Problem
Dedicated tracking apps often require too much maintenance:
- ❌ Download and update yet another app.
- ❌ Enable notifications (which we all end up ignoring).
- ❌ Remember to open it manually to check dates.
📅 The Calendar Solution
This is why we built tvcal. Instead of an app, it's a utility.
By syncing directly to the calendar you already use every day, you see TV premieres alongside your meetings and birthdays.
It's passive, unobtrusive, and impossible to ignore.
Verdict
Use an app if you want to write reviews and see what friends are watching.
Use tvcal if you just want to know when the next episode of House of the Dragon airs and have it show up where you already look: Your Calendar.
