Free TV & movie tracker that imports your TV Time export

TV Time shut down. WatchTrail imports its GDPR export as is — episodes with dates, followed shows, movies — and tracks everything episode by episode. Free, ad-free, 19 watch-order universes, 9 games, 4 languages.
Hi PH — I'm Alex, a former TV Time user (136 shows, 4,673 episodes). When TV Time announced its shutdown for July 15, I couldn't find a tracker that took my history without losing part of it, so I built one.
WatchTrail reads the TV Time GDPR export as is: on my own file, 4,606 of 4,673 episodes came back with their original dates, plus 24 shows I followed but never started and 316 of 321 movies. The 67 misses are TheTVDB specials TMDB doesn't know and TV Time's own duplicates. Free, ad-free, one person, no company.
What it doesn't do yet: no native app (it's an installable web app), and no Plex or Trakt sync.
It reads the official TV Time export ZIP as is, and also imports from Trakt, Simkl, IMDb and Letterboxd. If you never requested the export before TV Time wiped its servers on July 15, the app kept a local copy on your phone (DioCache.db) — free converters turn it into CSVs that WatchTrail reads.
Happy to answer anything about the export format. It's stranger than it looks: 53 files, 3 of them useful
