On Series Reminder, your Favorites list serves as the foundation of your personalized subscription command center. Adding a show to your favorites tells the system to track its airing schedule, populate your dashboard calendar, and prepare notification alerts. To keep the platform fast and sustainably maintained, the Free Tier supports tracking up to 25 favorite series at a time, while a Supporter subscription ($20/year) unlocks unlimited slots.
All core integrations—including your visual dashboard, personal RSS feeds, iCal calendar syncing, and real-time notification channels—are fully available on the Free Tier for all shows in your watchlist.
Your favorite count is calculated based on any series where you have active reminder settings, marked episodes as watched, or manually saved the show to your watchlist. The system treats all shows equally, meaning both "Continuing" series (shows currently airing or waiting for a new season) and "Ended" series (classic shows that have finished their run) count toward your limit of 25.
To save you clicks, Series Reminder integrates your favorites list directly with your watch history. If you mark an episode, a full season, or an entire series as watched, the system automatically favorites that show for you in the background (provided you are under your 25-series limit).
When a show is automatically added via your watch history, the platform applies a default "Season Premiere" notification setting to it. This ensures you are alerted when new seasons air, without cluttering your inbox. If you already have custom reminder settings configured for that show, they will not be changed.
Special episodes—categorized under "Season 0" by metadata providers—are treated as an independent category. Because specials are often broadcast outside of a show's regular release schedule, they do not interfere with standard season premiere or season finale calculations. You can choose to enable or disable Special notifications entirely independently on your preferences page without affecting your core episode alerts.
For users with a Supporter Subscription, your favorites list gains access to custom timing settings designed to solve streaming delays and regional broadcast offsets. On individual favorite shows, you can customize:
If you need to track more than 25 favorite shows or want to automate your alerts with custom timing offsets, please consider upgrading to Supporter ($20/year) or Super Supporter ($29.99/year). Your subscription directly funds this independent, solo-developer platform, keeping the service fast, private, and continuously improving!
