TV Time deleted its accounts on July 15 — but if you downloaded your export, the ZIP on your disk still holds everything. Park it with TasteRay and it becomes your Taste DNA.
TV Time shut down on July 15, 2026.
30,000,000+ accounts, a decade of your evenings, 15,000,000,000+ episodes logged, all deleted after July 15, unless you save it now.
What is TasteRay?
The concierge you're about to trust with a decade of your taste. Here's who we are.
Meet Ray
Your next-gen AI for what to watch next
Ray is your personal culture and entertainment concierge — movies and TV series today, games and books tomorrow. Not an algorithm counting clicks. A guide that actually gets you.
I watch…
I need to…

Taste DNA
It understands why you love what you love
Ray reads your watch history deeply and builds your Taste DNA — not a list of titles, but a map of your taste, humor and mood. It surfaces the non-obvious threads connecting everything you finish — including the ones you'd never name yourself.
Hidden thread connecting your favorites discovered!
Brain Betrays You
Characters who think they understand what's happening — but their own mind is lying to them. You spend the whole thing figuring out what's real, right along with them.
Ray knows you
The more you talk, the better it knows you
Beyond what you've watched, Ray learns who you are — your values, plans, dreams, the things you've lived. It talks with you every day and sharpens with every conversation, so each pick fits you a little more.
Recommendations, honestly
Every pick made for you — and told straight
A "why you'll love it" on every title, in your language. A "what to watch for" before you press play — slow pace, predictable ending, we say it. And you speak in situations, not genres: "I've got 90 minutes", "watching with the kids", "Sunday after a big night".
Why TasteRay
Others remember what you watched. Ray understands why.
You're the customer, not the product — we never sell your viewing history, and you can export everything anytime. Free to use today, no credit card. One goal: that you love whatever you press play on.
- We never sell your data

Your hidden patterns
The threads running through everything you finish — including the ones you'd never name yourself.
Honest mirrors
What you think you like vs. what you actually watch to the end.
Non-obvious matches
90%+ matches that aren't the same mainstream picks every app pushes.
Tonight's answer
One pick that fits your mood, your company, your platforms, and the 94 minutes you actually have.
You were the data. Now you're the customer.
TV Time was free. The price was invisible: your attention and your viewing history fed someone else’s analytics business — and when the strategy changed, thirty million people’s watch logs became a line item to delete.
TasteRay is built the other way up. You are the customer, not the inventory — funded by people who pay for the product, never by selling what you watch.
Export anytime
One click and everything you've given us leaves with you. Portability is the deal, not a feature we quietly remove.
No ads, no attention farming
The product is the recommendation, not your screen time.
Your data is not for sale
We don't sell viewing histories to studios, streamers, or anyone else.
Paid means durable
Products funded by their users don't wake up one day and delete them.
TV Time shutdown FAQ
Go to TV Time’s self-service data export, sign in with your TV Time account (use “Forgot password” first if you need to), and request your export. The ZIP is usually ready to download within minutes. Do it before July 15, 2026 — after that, TV Time deletes all account data permanently.
CSV files with everything you tracked: episodes watched, shows followed, movies, ratings and your watchlist. Exact file names vary by export version (for example tracking-prod-records-v2.csv or seen_episode.csv) — the TasteRay importer is built to read all known variants.
It's parked in secure storage, tied only to your email address. When the TasteRay importer opens, we process it into your account and email you. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and if you change your mind, one email to hello@tasteray.com deletes it — no questions asked.
The importer is in active development — parking your file now puts you first in line. You don't need to do anything else; we'll email you the moment your Taste DNA is ready.
TasteRay is free to use today — no credit card required. Advanced taste tools will eventually be part of a paid plan, because we'd rather charge for a product than sell your data. Rescuing and exporting your history will always be free.
Yes — export everything, anytime, from day one. Your taste history is yours. Portability isn't a growth hack we'll quietly remove; it's the founding deal.
Keep them — good trackers matter. TasteRay isn’t racing to store the longest list. We turn your history into decisions: what you specifically should watch tonight, predicted from years of your actual taste. Park a copy and see what your data says when something finally reads it. Side by side: TasteRay vs Trakt, TasteRay vs TV Time, and the full TV show tracking app rankings.
