The one-click import from TV Time and Trakt works perfectly, making the transition seamless. I appreciate the clear distinction between the free essentials and the Pro features. Having unlimited shows without a cap is a huge relief, and the exportable history ensures I am never locked in.

1 question · Jump to Q&ABelfry solves the annoyance of buried reminder settings by making notifications the core feature. I love that I can choose between email, push, text, or calendar alerts for each show. The ability to mark episodes as watched directly from a reminder email saves so much time compared to jumping back into an app. Importing my history from TV Time was instant, and the free tier offers unlimited shows without any nagging. Knowing my data is always exportable adds a layer of trust that many competitors lack. The Pro plan’s SMS reminders and custom timing seem like excellent upgrades for power users who want absolute certainty about new episodes.
The interface is clean and the promise of never missing an episode is appealing, yet I wish there was more clarity on how the AI recommendations work before committing.
Switching from TV Time was incredibly smooth thanks to the one-click import option. Belfry really understands what users need by letting you bring your entire history over before even creating an account. The interface is clean, the reminders actually work, and knowing that my data is exportable anytime gives me great peace of mind. I am thrilled to finally have a reliable home for my watchlist without worrying about hidden caps or annoying notifications.
The free tier looks generous enough for most needs, but I am curious if the Pro plan’s SMS reminders justify the twenty-nine dollar yearly cost. It seems like a fair deal compared to competitors raising prices, though the exact value depends on how often I actually use text alerts.
