klieg, in the words you can quote.

Klieg started when TV Time closed in July 2026 and a few hundred thousand people lost the thing that remembered which episode they were on. Ajay, a data engineer in London, had spent years with the other half of the problem: twenty minutes every night scrolling three streaming services and watching nothing. The two problems turned out to be one. A diary that knows what you have seen, what you loved and, more importantly, what you hated, can answer “what should I watch tonight?” better than any front page, and better than a chatbot that has never met you.

klieg is that diary. Films and TV in one place, episode by episode. Import your history from TV Time, Letterboxd, Trakt, Simkl or IMDb in a few minutes. Then ask, in plain English, and get ten picks with the reason each one fits and where it is streaming in the UK right now. Tracking is free forever; the engine is what you pay for, after a trial that does not ask for a card.

It is built and run by one person, and it says so on every page.

1. 01Tell klieg what you loved and what you hated. It tells you what to watch tonight, on the services you actually have.
2. 02Why not just ask ChatGPT? Because it doesn't know what you hated, what you've already seen, or what's on Netflix UK right now.
3. 03Films and TV in one diary, episode by episode, with reviews. The thing TV Time was, plus the thing Letterboxd isn't.
