What just landed on the platforms you pick, plus what's popular this week and the films currently in cinemas.

Coming soon to the App Store · iPhone and iPad · iOS 26
Your TV and film catalogue, finally under control.
What just landed, where to watch it in your country and what comes back soon. All in a library that works without creating any account.
No account, no ads, no social features. Trakt and iCloud are optional.
Three questions, three answers
What you need to know before picking something to watch
Aldebaran doesn't sell you a catalogue: it tells you what's out, where it is and when it arrives. Every figure names its source, because availability changes and you should know where the answer came from.
Where to watch
Which platforms carry a title in your country, next to its rating, synopsis, cast, seasons and trailer. One action to save it.
Source: TMDB availability data (JustWatch). It can change without notice.
Coming up
The calendar of upcoming episodes for what you follow, and announced dates for the releases you're waiting on, with an optional alert.
Source: dates announced on TMDB and Trakt. Subject to distributor changes.
A library that remembers
Stop keeping track in your head
Watching, Watchlist and Watched turn the catalogue into something of your own. Season progress and personal lists keep the decisions you already made in one place.
Library
Three states, no second-guessing
From any title, a single gesture decides whether it sits in Watching, Watchlist or Watched. The next step never competes with a row of lookalike actions.
- Season and episode progress, marked by hand or from Trakt.
- Personal lists for whatever doesn't fit a state.
- If a remote operation fails, the local state is kept.
Search
Browse without an algorithm
When you know what you're after, filtered search takes you straight there. When you don't, you can walk the catalogue by genre, platform or year with nobody deciding for you.
- Shows and films in the same search.
- Synopses translated on device with Apple's Translation framework.
- Ratings from Trakt, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and Letterboxd as a complement.
Local-first
Your lists start and end on your device
You can use all of Aldebaran without signing in. iCloud and Trakt are optional and are enabled separately; there are no servers of ours holding your library, and no social network in the middle.
- Works locally with no account, no analytics and no third-party SDKs.
- Sync through your private iCloud; Trakt credentials in the Keychain.
- On-device translation, with no text sent to any service.
- Trakt authorisation happens on Trakt's domain: Aldebaran never sees your password.
