Your watchlist belongs
to you.
Sofa is a movie and TV tracker you run yourself, in one Docker container. Follow shows episode by episode, log watches straight from your media server, and keep your history off someone else’s servers.
Pick up where you left off
Check off episodes one at a time or a whole season at once. Continue Watching lines up the next episode of every show you’re partway through.
Find something to watch
Get recommendations based on what you’ve rated highly, see what’s airing this week, and check which services are streaming a title.
Take it with you
The iPhone and Android apps sign in to your own server. Get them from the App Store or Google Play.
Right at home in your stack
