ReelRifter Features

Every Show. Every Service.
Better Intelligence.

ReelRifter is the one streaming guide that actually thinks for you — tracking what you watch, alerting you to what matters, and helping you watch smarter.

Built for people who take their streaming seriously

Unified Watchlist

Track everything across Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Apple TV+, Peacock, and every other service in one place. Movies and shows, with episode-level progress.

What to Watch Tonight

One tap, two questions. How much time do you have? What's your mood? ReelRifter gives you a single confident answer from your own watchlist — no endless scrolling. Pro feature.

AI Recommendations

Describe your mood and get personalized picks. ReelRifter's AI knows your taste — rated titles, genres you gravitate toward, and what your friends love. Pro feature.

Chat with Your Data

Ask anything about your watchlist in plain language. "What should I finish this weekend?" "Which shows did I rate highest in 2024?" Powered by Claude AI. Pro feature.

Smart Alerts

Get notified when new episodes drop, when titles are leaving a service, and when creators you follow release new work. Never miss a premiere.

Watch Trailers

Every show and movie detail page surfaces the official trailer directly — no hunting on YouTube. Watch before you commit, right where you're already browsing.

Release Radar

See every upcoming episode for shows you're watching, plus what's airing today and coming to theaters — all personalized to your watchlist.

Cancellation Radar

Never invest emotionally in a dead show. ReelRifter flags cancelled and ended series in your watchlist so you can decide whether to keep watching or move on.

Cost Optimizer

Know exactly when to pause or cancel a subscription. See which services have the most of your watchlist and when it's worth subscribing for a single title. Pro feature.

Sports Tracking

Follow teams and players across the NFL, NBA, Premier League, and more. Live scores, league standings, game highlights, and upcoming games synced to your Release Calendar. Pro + Sports feature.

Friends & Social

See what friends are watching in real time, compare taste scores, and browse their watchlists. Like Letterboxd, but for TV — and movies too. Pro feature.

Watch Streaks & Badges

Build a daily watch streak and earn 26+ badges as you hit milestones — finishing series, building a 7-day streak, reaching 100 watches, following sports teams, and more.

Binge Planner

Tell ReelRifter how many episodes you can watch per day and it builds a realistic schedule to finish a series — perfect for finishing before a new season drops. Pro feature.

Import Your History

Migrate from Netflix, Letterboxd, or Trakt in minutes. Your ratings, watch status, and history come with you — no starting from scratch.

Spoiler Shield

Browse episode guides without fear. Any episode beyond your current progress is automatically blurred — click to reveal only when you're ready. Pro feature.

Morning Brief

Start every day with a push notification listing shows airing today, titles leaving soon, and your binge plan for the day.

People & Creators

Follow your favorite actors, directors, and showrunners. Get alerted the moment they have something new in production or released.

My Stats

See your all-time viewing breakdown — hours watched, genre mix, movies vs. shows, rating patterns, personality-type badge, and your watch streak history.

Community Blog

Stay up to date with team news, feature announcements, and tips. Community members can submit their own posts — tips, watch lists, recommendations — for review and publication.

Smart Sort

AI ranks your entire watchlist by urgency — expiring titles, cancelled shows, and your personal taste profile — so you always know what to watch before it's gone. Pro feature.

Because You Watched…

A personalized discovery shelf powered by AI. Based on shows and movies you've loved, ReelRifter surfaces similar titles you're likely to enjoy — across any service. Pro feature.

AI Assistant Integration

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your ReelRifter data via the MCP protocol. Ask your AI "What am I watching?" or "What are my top-rated shows?" — it reads your live watchlist, stats, rewatches, and more. Pro feature.

Interleave Planner

Juggling multiple shows? Pick 2–4 you're currently watching, choose a 7–30 day window, and get a color-coded daily schedule that rotates through them. No more show fatigue. Pro feature.

Finish Before New Season

On every TV show you're watching, see exactly how many episodes per day you need to finish before the next season premieres. Amber warning if the pace is aggressive. Pro feature.

Season Countdown Alerts

Get in-app alerts 30, 14, and 7 days before a new season premiere for any show in your watchlist. Never be caught off-guard by a premiere you almost missed. Pro feature.

Year in Review

Every year, ReelRifter compiles your personal viewing recap — movies and shows finished, estimated hours watched, average rating, top picks, and a shareable summary card.

Content Feedback & AI Learning

When you drop a title or rate it poorly, ReelRifter asks why — too violent, bad writing, not your humor? Tag it, and your AI adapts. Recommendations get smarter with every piece of feedback you give.

Community Content Advisories

Crowd-sourced content warnings on every show and movie page. See what other ReelRifters flagged — violence, language, dark themes, slow pacing — before you commit to watching.

Shareable Achievements

Earned a badge? Show it off. Every achievement card has a Share button that posts "I earned the [badge] badge on ReelRifter!" directly to your favorite apps and social platforms.

Collections

Organize your watchlist into named collections — 'Weekend Picks', 'Sci-Fi Marathon', 'Watch With Kids'. Group any mix of shows and movies however makes sense to you.

Schedule Binge

Pick any network and any date — back to 1920 — and ReelRifter generates the full broadcast schedule using AI. Add shows straight to your watchlist. Great for rediscovering Saturday morning cartoons or classic primetime lineups. Pro feature.

Hidden Gems

Discover the overlooked and underrated — critically loved titles that flew under the radar. Filtered by genre and weighted toward your existing taste, so every suggestion actually fits.

Anime Calendar

Browse every anime airing this season — Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. See what's currently airing, what's upcoming, and add anything straight to your watchlist.

Expiring Soon

See what's leaving streaming services before it disappears. Filtered to titles actually on your watchlist first, then everything else — so you never miss the window to watch.

Continue Watching

A persistent strip on your dashboard shows every show in progress with a season/episode badge and a one-tap episode bump button — so you always know exactly where you left off.

Watch Time Estimator & Pace Predictor

See hours remaining for any show you're watching, or total runtime for a new series. ReelRifter also calculates your realistic finish date based on your actual watch pace.

Episode Recap Card

"Previously on…" built in. Before each episode, a spoiler-safe card shows the previous episode's summary — blurred by default, click to reveal. Perfect for returning after a break.

Streaming Value Dashboard

Your full monthly and annual streaming spend in one view — broken down by service. See which subscription has the most of your Want to Watch list and where you're actually getting value. Pro feature.

Traveler's Download Report

Building your offline queue for a flight or trip? The Travel Downloads page curates a tiered checklist from your watchlist — shows in progress, movie picks, and hidden gems worth rewatching. Copy or print it.
