Letterboxd for TV shows
Looking for a Letterboxd for TV shows? Trovie tracks every episode.
Letterboxd is built for films. Trovie is a free TV show and movie tracker app for Android that does series too: tick off episodes, keep a dated diary, rate what you watch and share lists — and it imports your Letterboxd films.

Does Letterboxd track TV shows?
Not series. Letterboxd’s FAQ says it covers films, miniseries and TV movies — not returning series (checked 29 September 2026). So a show you watch week by week, or a long one you are halfway through, needs somewhere else to live.
What you do on Letterboxd, in Trovie
| On Letterboxd you… | In Trovie |
|---|---|
| Logging what you watched, with the date | The diary: every film you watch and every episode you tick lands on your activity calendar, with its date |
| Rating | Rate films and shows from 1 to 10 — Letterboxd’s half-stars convert exactly, so 4½ becomes 9 |
| A watchlist | As many watchlists as you like, each one private, shared with friends or public |
| Lists people follow | Public watchlists anyone on Trovie can open, like and save to their own Library |
| Your profile and stats | A profile with your watch time, day streak and badges; Insights counts show and movie hours separately |
| Talking about it | Comments on every title, with spoilers held back until you have seen and rated it |
What TV needs that films don’t
- Tick off single episodes, or mark a whole season watched in one tap
- Up Next: the next episode of every show you are part-way through, with the hours left
- A reminder when a new episode of a show on your watchlist airs
- An Android home-screen widget with your next episode
- A Character Map for every season — who is who, with twists hidden until you ask
Bring your Letterboxd films with you
Export your data from Letterboxd — Settings, then Data, then Export your data — and upload the ZIP to Trovie as it is. Your watched films with their dates, your ratings and your watchlist come across. Letterboxd files carry a film’s name and year rather than an ID, so Trovie asks about the few it cannot be sure of instead of guessing. The step-by-step Letterboxd export guide.
