NextEp turns every show you finish into a Criterion-style collectible — with rarity, traits and a private review on the back. A night at the movies, not a spreadsheet.
Everything's unlocked and completely free right now — while early access lasts.
Real screens, real shows — your collection, your stats, and today's puzzle.
Every series you complete mints a Criterion-style card — with a rarity grade, traits, and your own private review on the back. Chase the rare pulls, complete the sets, and watch your Archive fill in. Finish something special and a Legendary card reveals with a film-countdown ceremony.
A real clapboard swings shut with a gold flash — and always an undo. Season finales earn a "That's a Wrap." Series finales roll The Final Cut credits over your stats. Your journey through a show is a filmstrip, next episode ringed in gold.
Recommendations that understand your taste — with reasons. A Catch Me Up recap that stops exactly at your episode, never a step ahead. Spoiler-Safe Mode blurs stills, titles and synopses you haven't reached yet. Tell it your mood; get tonight's perfect watch.
A review isn't a fixed verdict — feelings on a long show move. NextEp keeps every take you write as a moment in time, and when you finish a season or reach a finale, it quietly invites an updated one. Your first take stays put; the new one joins it. See exactly how your rating drifted — five reels in Season 1, two by the end — on a dated timeline. The Reading Room does the same for everyone, grouped by show.
Every show gets one room, and the room is sealed by what you've watched. Posts about an episode only unlock once you've reached it — so you can say the thing you're desperate to say the moment the credits roll, and the friend who's four episodes behind sees nothing but a closed curtain. No tagging, no hedging, no "sorry, spoilers." Mark an episode watched and Episode Pulse asks how it landed, then shows you how the whole room felt about that exact hour.
Wrapped runs all year round and turns into a share card in a tap. Show Memories resurface on their anniversary. And once a day, Cliffhanger drops a new puzzle — guess the show from its clues, fewer clues for more points, then rub your streak in the group chat.
A taste of Cliffhanger — the daily puzzle inside NextEp. Play a round right here.
Universal import pulls your whole history in — matched by title, ratings kept — in one tap, and built to stay fast even under the TV Time rush. And it's yours to leave with: one-click JSON or CSV export, any time. Import once, and never get locked in again.
Every show you finish mints a Criterion-style card into your Archive — rarity, traits, and a private review on the back. It sounds like a gimmick until your binder starts filling in.
Bring your whole TV Time history over in one tap, ratings kept. Recaps stop exactly at your episode, and Spoiler-Safe blurs anything you haven't reached yet.
A calendar that's actually right, a next-episode that never guesses wrong, and racing a friend to the finale. The parts you touch every day, done properly.
Head to app.nextep.show on your phone — it's a full app, no download or App Store detour.
On iPhone use Share; on Android tap the menu → Install. It lands like any other app icon.
Add a show or import your history, and the Archive begins. Everything's unlocked, free, during early access.
Add your first show — or import your whole history in one tap — and the Archive begins. Every feature is unlocked and free during early access — get in before that changes.
Start your collection →I'm a solo developer who got tired of TV trackers that feel like spreadsheets, so I built the one I actually wanted — no ads, no hidden catches, everything unlocked. I won't promise that never changes, but it's how NextEp starts, and honestly it's how I want to use it too. — Jason, maker of NextEp
An actual TV Time export — six shows in, every season & episode landed on the mark, ratings carried over. No cleanup.
Watch it together,
from the same couch or not.
Open a Viewing Room and press play in sync — a shared 3‑2‑1 countdown lands you on the same frame, then react with live emoji as it happens. Or race a friend to the finale: first one caught up wins, and you'll always see if you're ahead, behind, or perfectly in sync. Make it a standing co-watch, take on Challenges, and settle it in the group chat.
