Discovery and Watchlist Management

How to browse TV shows, organize your library, log watched episodes, and manage seasons in ShowNest.

Exploring and Searching New Shows

The Explore tab in ShowNest makes finding your next series engaging and effortless:

  • Trending This Week: worldwide popular releases currently generating discussion.
  • Airing Today: episodes broadcast across major global networks within the last 24 hours.
  • Top Rated: critically acclaimed television series of all time.
  • Instant Search: search by title in English or localized names to review summaries, season counts, and trailers.

Watchlist Organization

Adding a show to your watchlist is as simple as tapping the bookmark or + button. ShowNest automatically organizes your library into three dynamic stages:

1. Up Next

Displays active series cards with a clear badge indicating the next unviewed episode (e.g. S02E04). A single tap marks the episode as watched.

2. Upcoming

Shows renewed series with future release schedules, featuring a clear countdown of days remaining until premiere.

3. Completed Archive

When you conclude the final episode of the final available season, the series transitions into the completed archive and updates your overall viewing achievements.


Advanced Episode Management

Inside any series page:

  • Mark Entire Season Watched: quickly mark an entire season as watched with one tap, perfect for importing your existing viewing history.
  • Episode Overviews: tap an episode to inspect its title, synopsis, runtime, and original broadcast date.
  • Undo Watched Status: easily toggle any episode back to unviewed if marked by accident.
