Notifications for returns, not every air date
A ping for every episode of a four-night-a-week show is how you disable alerts and miss the thing you cared about: the return after a gap year.
nextepisode should be quieter than a social TV app. Prefer return dates, season premieres, and the one unfinished title you actually asked to resume.
Timezone still matters
Midnight air dates will fire at the wrong hour if you treat the network clock as yours. Set the zone once.
Anime split cours are returns, not a weekly drip you already expect.
Paid and ad-free is for the tracker, not a feed
If the product is progress, the notification budget should match. A firehose is how TV Time-shaped apps get uninstalled.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still get tonight’s episode?
Yes if you opt into a short list. Do not opt the whole library in.
What about sports?
This tracker is scripted shows first. Do not expect a live-score firehose.
