Shows Tracker

The convenience provided by the ubiquitous online services in the modern world allow people to consume digital content at unprecedented levels. As such, when it comes to binge-watching sitcoms, a neat program known as Shows Tracker comes into play, allowing you to keep track of the next episode meant to be watched to avoid wasting time figuring out where you left off once you start up the streaming service.

Launching the app summons a compact yet resizable layout free of distractions or superfluous functions that would burden what is an otherwise featherweight utility that would not cause issues on older laptops with limited, non-upgradeable storage. Through the top-placed command bar, users can add or paste the title of the show they are currently watching, along with the season where necessary, next to the number of the next episode meant to be watched.

Once added, entries can be updated to reflect further episodes and seasons watched, while those who managed to finish certain shows can simply delete them altogether to prevent them from taking up space unnecessarily in the main list. Moreover, given its portable format, the program can be easily added to on-the-go USB flash drive-powered setups for those who tend to switch between their work and personal devices without having to worry about synchronizing specific application settings over the cloud.

In terms of improvements, a dark mode toggle would be much easier on the eyes when finishing another show late at night and wishing to update the list, while an option to search through the added items may come in handy when the numbers of concomitantly watched shows start multiplying. However, since its source code is openly available, those with programming experience can make suggestions or fork the repository to create custom versions featuring changes that fit their preferences.

If you are tired of using your smartphone’s built-in notes app to generate bullet points for the next episodes of a recently picked up show that you want to watch and cross them out once finished, then Shows Tracker may be the right utility for you, as a dedicated way to track your motion picture watching progress.
