The box we share.
usBox is a TV and film tracker for the people you live with. One list, one episode count for each show, and a lock so nobody watches ahead.
usBox is in beta. It runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install.
One list
Every show, one list.
For households that share a telly and a few streaming accounts.
Illustrated from redrawn app screens.
Everyone gets a profile.
A name, a photo and a colour for each person, and a theme if you want one. Younger children get a profile an adult looks after, so they don't need a login.
Find what to watch next.
The UK top ten on each streaming service, refreshed every day. Add anything to your list in one tap.
Rate it together.
Give a show anything from half a star to five. Everyone rates in their own name, and a written review is optional.

One count
One count for each show.
usBox keeps a single episode count for every show, and the whole household shares it. When one of you moves it on, everyone sees the same place.
No more “what episode are we on?”

The lock
Don't watch without me.
Lock a show and usBox won't quietly let the count move on. It asks who was there first. If someone wasn't, the household is told, and the person left out can forgive.
Played for laughs, but it does stop spoilers.
