Showly is a TV show and movie tracking app for Android and iOS, built around a clean interface and tight Trakt.tv integration. It's aimed at anyone who wants a single place to manage what they're watching, what they've watched, and what's coming up next.

The core loop is straightforward: browse trending and curated titles, mark episodes and movies as watched, and build out a collection over time. Showly separates your Watchlist (things you plan to watch) from your Collection (things you've seen), which keeps your library organized without much manual effort.

Key capabilities:

  • Trakt.tv sync keeps your history, collection, and watchlist consistent across devices and compatible apps
  • Episode tracking shows your progress through a series and surfaces what's coming up next
  • Discovery tools surface trending titles, personalized recommendations, and less obvious picks based on your tastes
  • Home screen widgets let you check upcoming episodes without opening the app
  • Cross-platform availability on both iOS and Android, free to download

The Trakt.tv integration is the standout feature for serious trackers. Trakt is a widely used open platform for logging watch history, so connecting Showly to it means your data isn't locked into a single app. You can switch clients or use multiple apps without losing your history.

With over 80,000 users, Showly has built a following largely on its interface quality. The UI is consistently cited as one of its strengths, which matters in a category where many alternatives feel cluttered or dated.
