For the shows you quietly gave up on

Every tracker fills up with the same clutter eventually: shows you started, meant to continue, and quietly never did. They sit in the feed month after month, nagging you with a next episode you are never going to watch, and the honest options were bad. Unfollow and lose your history, or scroll past it forever.

TrackShows 1.13.0 does what a good assistant would: it notices, and then it asks.

Not watched in a while

If a show has had episodes waiting for eight weeks and you have not touched it, it moves out of the main feed into its own section on On Next, called Not watched in a while. Each show there offers exactly two choices.

Keep says “I am still watching this, honestly”. The show goes straight back to the main list and gets another eight weeks of peace.

Stop says the quiet part out loud. The show leaves On Next and parks in your Library under Stopped watching, with every watched episode intact. It is not deleted, not unfollowed, just filed.

The important part: the app never decides for you. A show waiting on its next season is never called neglected, because there is nothing you could have watched. And nothing moves anywhere until you tap.

Changing your mind

Stopped shows carry a Resume button in the Library. Better still, if you simply start watching again, marking any episode watched, the stop clears itself. Watching it is resuming it; there is no admin to do.

The rest of 1.13.0

Show pages now open on the season you are actually watching, expanded and scrolled into view, instead of a wall of collapsed seasons. Android gets the platform’s own Material 3 tab bar. And on the feature request board, shipped requests no longer take votes, so it is always clear what is still being voted on and what is already in your hands.

Three of these changes came straight from the request board and user feedback. If you want something, suggest it in the app, and the full history is on the changelog.
