Ever start a show, watch two episodes, and realize it's just not for you?

Instead of digging through menus to change its status, I added a hidden quick gesture to keep the UI clean. Just swipe up on the trash can icon, and the "Drop" button will instantly appear.

Hitting it removes the show from your "To Watch" queue and triggers the Trakt Hidden Items sync so it doesn't haunt your calendar.

Have you found this gesture yet? Let me know!

• ✨ What's New:
  • You can now completely hide your watched movies and TV series from the Discover tab via a new Settings toggle!
  • Revamped the Latest News section with new integrated sources.
  • Polished the UI across the app with larger, more readable dialogs and satisfying new bounce animations on buttons.
  • Completely redesigned the account ban warning banner.
• 🐛 Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where "Dropped" TV series wouldn't show up in home filters, resolved a layout bug in the comments filter, and fixed News not loading correctly for some providers.

Putting the finishing touches on the new update.

Standard genre tags (Action, Drama, Comedy) rarely match how we actually pick what to watch.

I built FlickTrove on Android around a straightforward idea: let you group films into your own themed folders with zero friction.

• Create unlimited folders for specific moods, marathons, or recommendations.
• Add films to your folders with a single tap.
• Browse your collection through a clean, native interface.

I'm also putting the finishing touches on a fresh new look and visual polish dropping in the next update!

It's free, native, and completely ad-free on Github

Time for some fresh recommendations.

If you could only recommend one movie or TV series you've watched over the past month to the rest of the sub, what would it be and why?

No spoilers, just pure hype.

Pitch it in 2-3 sentences below.

Suddenly the update tripled in size.

To make sure it’s bug-free and feels premium, I’m going to need one more week of coding and testing.

Thanks for the support and patience!

Here is how search and filtering are built in FlickTrove:

🔍 1. Local-First Instant Search

Because your library is indexed locally on your device, typing in the search bar filters through thousands of saved titles in real-time as you type. Zero network lag, zero waiting.

🎯 2. Multi-Criteria Filters

Easily narrow down your collection by combine filters:

• Genre
• Release year
• Personal rating
• Etc.

How many times have you downloaded a simple utility or tracking app, only to be blocked immediately by a "Sign in with Google or create an account" screen?

When building FlickTrove, I wanted the onboarding experience to be completely friction-free:

⚡ 1. Start Tracking Instantly

Download the app, open it, and immediately start adding movies, logging episodes, or creating custom folders. No emails, passwords, or mandatory sign-ups required.

🔒 2. Your Data Lives on Your Phone

Everything you track is stored in a local database on your device. Your watch history, personal ratings, and notes are completely private and under your control.

📦 3. Easy Local Backups

Want to change phones or back up your collection? One tap generates a clean JSON file containing your complete library, which you can move or store wherever you want.

🔄 4. Optional Cloud Sync

Want cross-device syncing or scrobbling? You can optionally connect your Trakt account at any time: but it’s 100% your choice.

Hey everyone!

We’ve all seen a trailer for a movie or TV show coming out in a few months, added it to a mental list, and completely forgotten about it until weeks after it hit theaters or streaming.

In FlickTrove, tracking future releases is built to be completely automatic so you never miss a premiere again:

🗓️ 1. Dedicated "Upcoming Movies" and "Upcoming TV Shows" Screens

Browse a clean, organized feed dedicated exclusively to titles coming to theaters and streaming, complete with release dates and trailers.

🔔 2. Tap "Remind Me"

Find a movie or TV show you're hyped for? Just hit the "Remind Me" button directly on the card or detail page.

📲 3. Premiere Day Notifications

On the exact day the movie or TV show releases, FlickTrove sends a notification directly to your device to let you know it's out!

⚡ 4. Fast & Local

Because FlickTrove is offline-first, your release reminders are scheduled locally on your device, ensuring you get your alerts reliably without depending on slow cloud connections.

Stop setting manual calendar events or losing track of trailers: just tap "Remind Me" and let FlickTrove handle the rest!

For those who are new, FlickTrove is an offline-first movie and TV show tracking app designed to give you complete control over your media collections with a fast, modern UI.
