What is SeriesGuide?

What it is

SeriesGuide is an Android application for keeping track of favorite TV shows and movies. The project presents itself as a productivity and content-management tool for people who want to follow series and films on an Android device, and it is written in Kotlin. Its public homepage is https://www.seriesgui.de, and the repository links to download, help, support, contribution, discussion, and release-note resources.

The concrete problem it addresses is the need for a dedicated Android app that organizes viewing interests for TV shows and movies. The provided facts place the app in the Android ecosystem and connect it to the topics android, android-application, kotlin, movies, seriesguide, tmdb, trakt, and tv. Those facts indicate that the project is aimed at users who want a mobile tracking experience centered on series and movies, rather than a general desktop or web application.

When to use it — and when not to

Use SeriesGuide when you want an open-source Android app for tracking TV shows and movies and when the TMDb and Trakt topics match the services you care about. Do not choose it if you need an iOS app, desktop client, or self-hosted web service, because the provided facts describe only an Android application and its associated website and repository. The project also has mixed licensing, with GPL 3.0 or later for the program and Apache License 2.0 for parts such as the API library, which matters for reuse and contribution.
