TV Time is shutting down.
Your watch history
doesn't have to die with it.
On July 15, TV Time erases years of tracked episodes, ratings and watchlists. Export your data now and join the Relicário waitlist: when it launches, you upload the file and pick up right where you left off — anime, series and movies in one app.

— What is happening
Fifteen years of tracking erased with two weeks' notice.
The company behind TV Time was acquired and pivoted to enterprise AI products. The app that collected your check-ins no longer fit the business — so it's being shut down. The confirmation came via in-app notification on July 1: after July 15, the app leaves the stores, the website goes dark and the data of more than 26 million users is permanently deleted. No recovery, no grace period.
The good news: until then, you can save what matters. And you can take it somewhere that treats your data as yours.
— Migrate without losing anything
Three steps, in the right order.
Step 1 · do it today
Export from TV Time
Go to gdpr.tvtime.com, sign in and download the file with your history, ratings and watchlist. Do it now — the tool slows down near the deadline, and this is the only step you can't undo after July 15. Keep the file safe.

— In the meantime
Honesty first: Relicário hasn't launched yet. Here's when it's worth the wait.
If you need a tracker working today, Simkl and Trakt both have TV Time importers and cover the essentials right now. Nothing stops you from parking your data there and moving to Relicário at launch. That said — Relicário is worth the wait if:
- You track anime alongside series and movies, and you're tired of juggling two or three separate trackers.
- You want a tracker that treats all three media types as first-class citizens, not an afterthought.
- What you loved most about TV Time was the social side — and you want a feed and per-episode discussion rooms back.
- You never want to be locked into an app that shuts down and takes your data with it.
If none of that sounds like you, Simkl or Trakt will serve you well. If it does — keep that export file and join the list.
— Your history, back
The file you export today rebuilds everything at launch.
Relicário's importer is being built precisely for people leaving TV Time: upload your export file and get your tracked episodes, ratings and watchlist back. Years of tracking preserved — no starting over.
official TV Time export (gdpr.tvtime.com) supported · episodes, ratings and watchlist preserved · comments have no export path (TV Time limitation)
Notifications
We notify you. We don't interrupt you.
No blinking red badge. No "you're missing episodes". No manufactured anxiety. Relicário only calls for your attention when it's worth it — and stays quiet when it's not.
The rule is simple: a notification here is a response to something you started following. Never the other way around.
- No streaks, no manufactured urgency, no marketing push
- Daily digest at the time you choose
- Total silence between 10pm and 9am — by default
- Each type turns off in one click. No settings maze.
— THE NAME
Por que Relicário?
FROM LATIN reliquiarium · A PLACE TO PRESERVE WHAT IS PRECIOUS
A reliquary is a small compartment, usually in the form of a pendant or locket, used to keep photos, keepsakes, and small relics of sentimental value. From the Latin reliquarium: a place to preserve what is precious.
We chose this name because we know that anime, series, and films are not just entertainment. They are memories. They are moments. They are stories that helped us, moved us, made us feel something.
Relicário is the place
where you keep all of this.
Questions
What everyone is asking this week.
Is TV Time really shutting down? When?
Yes. The company confirmed it via in-app notification on July 1: the shutdown happens on July 15, 2026. The app leaves the App Store and Google Play, tvtime.com goes offline and all personal data is permanently deleted.
How do I save my TV Time history?
Go to gdpr.tvtime.com, sign in with your TV Time account and download the export file with your episode history, ratings, watchlist and account data. Do it before July 15 — ideally today, since the tool gets overloaded near the deadline.
Can I recover my data after July 15?
No. The company confirmed there is no recovery path once the servers go offline. Exporting before the deadline is the only way to preserve your history.
Is Relicário live yet?
Not yet — it's in the final stretch of development. Waitlist members get notified first and compete for a founder spot with lifetime PRO. If you need a tracker today, Simkl and Trakt both import from TV Time and will hold you over until launch.
How is Relicário different from Simkl or Trakt?
Simkl and Trakt are solid trackers — if you need one today, use them. Relicário is built around the three media types people actually mix (anime, series and movies), plus the social layer TV Time users miss: a feed, per-episode discussion rooms, XP and achievements. And your data stays exportable, always.
What will Relicário import from TV Time?
Tracked episodes, ratings and your watchlist, from the official export file. Comments, GIFs and reactions have no export path in TV Time — that part is lost no matter which app you choose.

For everyone who gave years of check-ins and got two weeks' notice
V Time was, for a long time, the place where finishing an episode became a ritual: open the app, check it off, react, read what everyone else thought. For a lot of people it was the first app that understood that following a show is more than watching — it's logging, comparing, talking. Fifteen years of check-ins from millions of people live there.
Then came the notification: two weeks. The company was acquired, became an enterprise AI business, and the app that collected your habits stopped being worth the cost. It's a hard reminder of a truth that applies to every free service: when you don't know what the product is, the product is probably you. And when the model changes, you're the one left without a place.
Relicário is being built by people who have been checking off episodes for years — and some choices are deliberate: your data always exportable, imports for anyone arriving from other apps, and the three media types we actually consume — anime, series and movies — in one place.
We're not asking you to trust blindly again. We're asking you to demand from any app what TV Time never gave you: a way out.
If you've read this far, you probably already have your export file in hand. Keep it safe. When Relicário opens, it becomes your starting point — not from zero, but from right where you left off.
A reliquary doesn't keep everything. It keeps what matters.
