Announcing Callsheet

I am extremely excited to announce that Callsheet is now available in the App Store!

Callsheet is *fast*, respects your time, and there’s nothing to log into. Callsheet also has some neat features to improve your media-watching experience. Let's talk about a couple…

I think my favorite feature is the affordances for hiding TV spoilers.

Did you ever watch a TV show, and look at the cast list, only to see a character is — based on their episode count — killed off early? Or that an actor has more than one character credit, revealing a secret identity?

When browsing a list of episodes, a title too much? Or the thumbnail shows something you weren’t prepared to see?

Callsheet allows you to hide any or all of these things, to keep your TV shows spoiler-free.

Callsheet is an app written by me, but also for me. Whenever I watch a TV show or movie, I always want to look at the trivia. By default, Callsheet puts that front-and-center.

However, not everyone cares about trivia. Callsheet allows one “Quick Access Link” that’s front-and-center; the other ones are also quickly available using the “More…” menu.

If one of the other options is more your speed, you can change the Quick Access Link in the in-app Settings.

Speaking of figuring out how to watch a piece of media, Callsheet has your back, thanks to the power of Just Watch:

@caseyliss Congratulations. Looks like a great alternative to junky IMDb. One suggestion for the “where to watch” section. Would be great to see the prices of the buy options without having to click each option.

@Sarenberg Agreed, but unfortunately, I don't get that from the API
Show threadSteven ArenbergAug 7, 2023
@caseyliss Ahhh, ok. The Just Watch API? (I guess they need to keep some of the secret sauce for their app.)
Show threadCasey LissAug 7, 2023
@Sarenberg no; TMDB sorta proxies it behind their own API

@caseyliss Maybe you can discuss on ATP sometime the interesting partnership with Just Watch. I’d think your app could cut into their traffic, but I’m sure I’m missing something. Anyways, enjoy the day. Well earned.
