I'm excited about this big update and can't wait to see the reaction. Read more about it in my introductory blog post. coolcut.lol/posts/couchtimes-2-0

You can also rate and review shows and movies privately inside the app. It's a simple way to keep track of what you thought without needing a public profile.

Each show and movie now has more detailed pages: cast info, trailers, related recommendations, and streaming availability provided by JustWatch.

There's a new Upcoming section that shows all episodes and films scheduled to release soon. It combines everything in one place so you don't have to jump between different views.

CouchTimes 2.0 adds full support for movies. You can browse, add them to your watchlist, and mark them as watched. It works just like shows.

Launch Day™

CouchTimes 1.7.0 is now available in the App Store. The most notable changes are:

🔂 Rewatch functionality
🔎 Improved search and sorting
🙅 Abandoned shows to also keep track of the shows you would rather not continue watching

Dock icons on a Mac, showing the Finder, App Store and Downloads folders, and the Trash bin.

They fixed the Finder icon and made the folder in the dock much darker.... #macOS

I've begun enhancing Friendzone with over a dozen App Intents to integrate it more deeply into the system and empower all of you Shortcuts enthusiasts out there.

Here's a teaser of something small that some have asked about in the past, support for the Action Button. More soon… #buildInPublic

IntentDescription | Apple Developer Documentation The human-readable description and metadata for an app intent.

I meant inside the Shortcuts app, not in my own app. The answer is IntentDescription. developer.apple.com/documentatio...

Let's see how this will go… At least they seem to be shipping the sidebar any day now.

Screenshot showing shortcut actions of Thrings inside the Shortcuts app with different section titles.

Pretty sure I'm missing something very obvious, but how can I create these sections for my App Intents for the Shortcuts app? #Swift #SwiftUI

Lost count of how many times I wrote WWDC26 and iOS25 today.

The new listSectionIndexVisibility(_:) is a little QoL improvement made for Friendzone in iOS26. 2 lines of code. Love it! #WWDC25 #buildInPublic

The same is pretty much true for CouchTimes running iOS26. I'm still expecting a mid-sized redesign nevertheless... #buildInPublic
