TV Time is, as the name suggests, a tool for tracking time spent watching television shows as well as movies, and is also a social website where users can rate and comment on TV episodes and movies. Similar services include Trakt, and until 2015, GetGlue/tvtag. TV Time has been owned by Whip Media since 2016, and ingests its metadata from TheTVDB, which it also owns.

Shutdown

On July 1, 2026, TV Time announced through an in-application notification that it would be going offline on July 15, saying that it was no longer sustainable to sustain as a free service, with little demand for a paid app.

TV Time is Shutting Down^{[IA•Wcite•.today]}

After many incredible years, we've made the difficult decision to discontinue TV Time. The service will end after July 15, 2026.

While we loved supporting TV Time, it was no longer sustainable to continue operating the service as a free app, and there was not enough demand for a paid app.

To everyone who tracked, discovered, and shared their love of TV and movies with us, thank you. Your passion and enthusiasm made TV Time more than an app. You made it a community.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of the TV Time journey over the last decade.

Happy watching, forever.

TV Time points its users to its GDPR self-service export tool for those interested in exporting a copy of their user data before the site shuts down, which provides a pile of .CSV files. Images/GIFs included as part of comments do not appear to be included, however.

Although there has not been an official announcement about it so far, given that TheTVDB is also owned by Whip Media and uses TV Time in its Trending Movies & TV section, the future of TheTVDB should also be regarded to be in substantial doubt. Whenever possible, competing service Trakt has heavily focused on switching its data sources from TheTVDB over to The Movie Database (TMDB), which is owned by TiVo, including a comparison tool to help reconcile differences and irregularities between the two sites' sets of metadata for TV series. Any potential shutdown of TheTVDB after the demise of TV Time would also end up indirectly hurting Trakt, particularly with metadata for larger web video creators, as TMDB is much more strict in its Contribution Bible with regard to disallowing YouTube creators unless their works are specifically released as an Original.
