TV Time has shut down.
I'm Antonio, and I've been building Cinemaniac on my own for years — a movie and TV show tracker used by over a million people on iOS and Android. No company behind it, just me. If you need a new home for your watchlist, the door's open.
Why Cinemaniac
Independent & Sustainable
I'm a solo developer. There's no board of directors, no investors, no one who can decide to "pivot to AI" and pull the plug. Cinemaniac stays online as long as I keep making it — and I have no plans to stop.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cinemaniac?
Cinemaniac is a free movie and TV show tracker for iOS and Android, built and maintained by a single independent developer. It uses TMDb (The Movie Database) and has been downloaded over 1 million times. It lets you track what you've watched, rate movies and shows, organize them in custom categories, and manage your watchlist.
Is Cinemaniac a good TV Time alternative?
Yes. Like TV Time, Cinemaniac tracks both movies and TV shows with ratings and watchlist management. Unlike TV Time, it's built by an independent developer with no corporate parent company — so there's no risk of it being shut down because a company decided to pivot to something else. It's available as a native app on both iOS and Android.
Is Cinemaniac free?
Cinemaniac is free to download and use. All core features — tracking, ratings, categories, watchlist — are free with no account required. There's an optional premium tier called Cinemaniac Gold for advanced features like personalized recommendations.
Does Cinemaniac work on both iOS and Android?
Yes. Cinemaniac has native apps on both iOS and Android — not a web wrapper, actual native apps built specifically for each platform.
How is Cinemaniac different from Trakt, Simkl, or Letterboxd?
Trakt, Simkl, Letterboxd, and Serializd are all solid options. What makes Cinemaniac different is the combination: native iOS and Android apps, both movie and TV show tracking in one place, no account required to get started, 17 languages, and over 1 million downloads. And it's entirely built and maintained by one independent developer — no company, no investors, just the app.
What languages does Cinemaniac support?
Cinemaniac is available in 17 languages: English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic, and Hebrew.
Do I need an account to use Cinemaniac?
No. You can use Cinemaniac without creating an account. If you want to sync your data across devices, you can optionally sign in with Google or Apple.
How do I get started with Cinemaniac?
Download the app, search for a movie or show, and add it to your collection. That's it. No account needed, no setup, no onboarding screens. You can start building your collection right away.
