What is iWatched?
iWatched is a tracking and sharing site for films and TV. You log what you watch, rate it, add notes, and turn that history into a profile you can share. It covers movies, series, seasons and individual episodes, so the record can be as detailed as you want rather than a flat list of titles.
What you can do on it
- Log viewing history: record films and shows with ratings and personal notes.
- Follow your stats: hours watched, rewatches, streaks and taste patterns as your library grows.
- Save and review: bookmark titles for later and write short reviews.
- Build a profile: showcases for favourites, badges, curated lists, review stats and recent activity.
- Compare with friends: shared recommendations and taste comparisons.
The list tools are the more distinctive part. A curated list is an ordered guide — franchise order, seasonal marathon, ranking or recommendation path — with runtime planning, progress tracking and visibility settings (private, unlisted link, or public). The Stargate example on the site shows how this works in practice: grouped entries, per-title runtimes, and a total of 267h 21m for the whole run. That kind of planning is genuinely useful if you are deciding whether to start a long series.
Who it suits
| If you are… | iWatched is a good fit when… |
|---|---|
| A casual viewer | You want a simple log plus a profile to share with friends |
| A completionist | You track episodes and seasons, not just whole shows |
| A list-maker | You want ordered guides with runtimes and progress |
| A social watcher | You care about comparisons and shared plans |
If you only want a bare checklist of watched titles, the profile, badge and review features will be more than you need.
Practical next step
Start with one show you are mid-way through. Log the seasons and episodes you have already seen, then create a small ordered list for whatever comes next — a franchise rewatch or a seasonal marathon — and check the total runtime before committing. That single exercise tells you quickly whether the episode-level detail and list planning match how you actually watch.
How do I track my watch history on iWatched?
iWatched is built around one main habit: logging each movie, show, season or episode you finish, then attaching a rating and personal notes. Your logged titles accumulate into a watch history, and from there the site derives stats such as hours watched, rewatches, streaks and taste patterns. Favourites, bookmarks, quick reviews and curated lists sit alongside that history, and your profile can surface showcases, badges and recent activity.
The basic loop
- Create an account and open the tracking tools.
- Search for the title you watched and mark it watched.
- Add a rating and a short note while the reaction is fresh.
- Repeat for episodes and seasons rather than only whole shows, if you want accurate totals.
- Check your stats and profile periodically to see patterns build.
For a series, decide your unit of tracking up front. Logging every episode gives the most precise watch time and progress, while logging seasons is faster but coarser. The page's own counters — movies, shows, seasons, episodes and total hours — suggest that episode-level logging is what makes the time totals meaningful.
Lists as a tracking tool
Curated lists are not just shareable collections. A list can hold titles in a specific order, show the runtime of each entry, and group items into sections with their own totals. You can mark titles watched as you go, keep progress updated, and choose whether a list stays private, is shared by unlisted link, or is published publicly. Runs can be solo or shared with friends, which turns a group marathon into a joint progress tracker. A published example on the site, a Stargate list by JakeTheDane, groups entries into beginning, middle and end with a combined runtime.
What to expect from the social side
Friends, comparisons and recommendations are part of the profile experience, so your history doubles as a taste signal. If you would rather keep that private, use the visibility controls and log without publishing. If you want the sharing payoff, write quick takes and keep a few lists public — that is what makes a profile feel personal rather than a bare checklist.
A practical next step: pick one show you are mid-way through, log every episode you have already seen, then add a rating and one sentence per episode. That single test tells you whether episode-level tracking suits you before you commit your whole library.
Can I share my iWatched profile with friends?
Yes. iWatched is built around a profile you can share, and the site describes profiles with showcases, badges, review stats and recent activity — the kind of page a friend can browse to see what you have been watching and what you thought of it. Sharing is not limited to your profile: reviews, favourites and curated lists can also be visible to others, and lists can be set private, shared as unlisted links, or published publicly.
What friends can see and do
- Your profile: favourites, badges, curated lists, review stats and recent activity, presented as a personal showcase rather than a bare list of titles.
- Your reviews and quick takes: written reactions attached to what you have logged.
- Your curated lists: ordered guides for franchises, seasonal marathons or rankings, with progress tracking.
- Comparisons: the site's social features include friend comparisons and recommendations, so a friend can line up their taste against yours rather than just read your page.
A practical example
Say you build an ordered guide to a long-running sci-fi franchise, grouping entries into beginning, middle and end with total runtimes attached. You keep it unlisted while you work through it, then publish it once it is complete. A friend opening the link sees the order, the runtimes and your progress, and can mark titles watched themselves without needing your notes explained separately.
Choosing a visibility setting
| Setting | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Private | You are logging casually and do not want a public footprint |
| Unlisted link | You want to share with specific friends without appearing in public browsing |
| Public | You want your reviews and lists discoverable, and you are happy for strangers to compare taste |
A reasonable next step: decide per list rather than per account. Keep your full watch history private if you like, and publish only the lists you would actually recommend — those are the ones friends will use. If you want to see how others structure public guides before making your own, browse the public lists on iWatched first.
How do I create a curated list on iWatched?
To create a curated list on iWatched, you build an ordered guide of movies, shows, seasons, or episodes, then set who can see it. The site's own description of the tool focuses on three things: order, runtime planning, and visibility.
What a curated list includes
- Ordered entries. Titles, seasons, or episodes placed in the exact sequence you want, which suits franchise orders, seasonal marathons, rankings, or recommendation paths.
- Context and progress. The list holds more than titles, so you can add context and mark items watched as you go.
- Runtime planning. The list shows total time, so you can see how long a marathon takes before starting. The public Stargate example displays 267h 21m across 8 items, grouped into beginning, middle, and end.
- Grouping. Long lists can be split into sections, as that example does, rather than one flat run of titles.
- Runs. You can track progress solo or invite friends into a shared party run.
- Visibility. Lists can be private, shared as unlisted links, or published publicly.
A practical way to start
Pick the purpose first, because it decides the order. A first-time-viewing franchise order differs from a chronological or ranked order, and mixing them makes the list confusing to follow. If the list is long, group it into stages so progress stays visible. Then choose visibility: keep a personal watch plan private, use an unlisted link for a friend, and publish only lists you would recommend to a stranger.
Choosing between list types
| Type | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Ordered guide | Franchise orders, marathons | Needs upkeep as you watch |
| Ranking | Sharing taste and favourites | Less useful as a watch plan |
| Recommendation path | Guiding someone new | Assumes you know their taste |
| Collaborative run | Watching with friends | Depends on others keeping pace |
If you mainly want a record of what you have seen rather than a plan, a simple watch history with ratings and notes may serve you better than a structured list. To see finished examples before building your own, browse the public lists on iWatched.
What stats does iWatched provide about my viewing habits?
iWatched turns your watch history into personal statistics rather than a simple checklist. The site describes four main stat areas: total hours watched, rewatches, streaks, and taste patterns that develop as your library grows.
The numbers it tracks
- Hours watched — the headline figure, shown site-wide as total watch time.
- Rewatches — how often you return to the same titles.
- Streaks — consecutive viewing activity.
- Taste patterns — trends in what you rate and log over time.
Those stats feed into your profile, where iWatched says you can display favourites, badges, review stats, recent activity, and curated showcases. So the stats serve two purposes: private self-tracking and a shareable public identity.
What the site-wide counters show
The homepage lists aggregate community totals — movies, shows, seasons, and episodes tracked, plus combined watch time. These are platform-wide numbers, not your personal figures, but they indicate the level of detail iWatched records: it counts down to seasons and episodes, not just titles.
A practical scenario
Say you finish a long series over three months. iWatched would log each episode, add the runtime to your hours total, and let you attach a rating and notes. If you rewatch a season later, that registers as a rewatch rather than duplicating the original entry. Over a year, the taste patterns and streaks become a rough portrait of when and what you watch — useful if you want to answer "what did I actually spend my time on?" or build a year-end summary without manual spreadsheets.
How to decide if it fits
| If you want… | iWatched's approach |
|---|---|
| A private log with notes and ratings | Core tracking features |
| Shareable stats and a public profile | Profiles with showcases, badges, review stats |
| Long-run viewing trends | Hours, rewatches, streaks, taste patterns |
| Just a quick "watched / not watched" toggle | Heavier than needed |
The trade-off is effort: the stats are only as good as what you log. If you rate and note titles consistently, the patterns and profile are meaningful; if you log sporadically, you get a partial picture. A reasonable first step is to log one month of viewing — including rewatches — then check whether the stats reveal anything you didn't already know.
Is iWatched free to use?
iWatched does not state a price anywhere on its home page, and the page shows no subscription tiers, paywall notices, or payment providers. Based on the information available, there is no indicated cost to use the site — but that is an absence of pricing information rather than an explicit "free forever" promise, so treat it as unconfirmed rather than guaranteed.
What that means in practice
The features described on the home page — logging movies and shows with ratings and notes, stats such as hours watched and rewatches, favourites and badges, reviews, curated lists with runtime planning, and friend comparisons — are all presented as things you do on the site itself, not as features behind a named paid plan. If a paid tier existed, you would normally expect the home page to advertise it, since that is where the sign-up path starts.
How to check before committing
- Look for a pricing or plans page in the site's own navigation or footer. If none exists, the product is most likely free to use at this stage.
- Read the linked Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. These documents usually describe account terms, and any billing or subscription language would appear there.
- Sign up with a low-effort account first and confirm you can log a few titles, write a review and build a list before investing time in a large watch history.
A realistic scenario
Say you want to log a long-running series and build an ordered marathon list with total runtime. If the site is free, the main cost is your time entering and maintaining the history. If it later introduces a paid tier, the risk is that features you have come to rely on — stats, public lists, or sharing — move behind it. Keeping your own copy of ratings and notes in a notes app or spreadsheet is a cheap hedge either way.
For a second opinion on the catalog side, sites like TMDB and IMDb are useful for checking titles and runtimes while you build lists, though they serve a different purpose from a personal watch tracker.
