Sequel is an app that turns a "what to watch" list into a minimalistic and user-friendly tracker for film lovers. It doesn't just show you what's trending, it helps you keep track of your favourite shows, movies, games, audio books and even personalise your recommendations.

What Sequel is and why it's worth checking out

The app allows you to:

  • Keep track of what you're watching (or about to watch)
  • Mark your progress by episode
  • Get reminders about new releases
  • Integrate with Letterboxd and other databases
  • Customise collections - for example, "80s horror" or "watch before holidays"
  • And all this in a private, ad-free shell

The interface is minimalistic but flexible: you can change the look of collections, design profiles, switch to a dark theme and share lists with friends. And privacy is ensured by the absence of third-party analytics and adverts - your entire film list stays with you.

What makes Sequel different from the alternatives

  • Doesn't depend on streaming services - you can add anything you want.
  • Not cluttered: no push recommendations, no banners, no autoplaying trailers.
  • Ideal for introverts and film buffs tired of algorithms

Sequel is available for free on the App Store for devices with iOS 17 and above, as well as on Apple Vision Pro. The free version is enough to track as many films (TV series, games, books) as you like and create up to 5 collections. For more features, there's a paid Sequel+ subscription - $3 per month or $20 per year.
