What's new

  • Simkl sync: connect in Settings or from the Library card. Watch history and Continue Watching sync to Simkl across phone, TV and Windows.
  • Kids profiles: they show family films and series only.
  • TorBox streaming on phone, TV and Windows. If TorBox doesn't have a file cached, Watchly falls back to its own engine, even mid-film.
  • TV: paste API keys from your phone with a QR code, plus remote and focus fixes in the player panels and Settings.
  • Phone: a welcome tour, and Cast no longer crashes.
  • Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian subtitles.
  • Files that need VLC are remembered, and a note shows when playback switches to VLC.
  • Windows: a DHT watchdog, so torrents no longer get stuck on "reading torrent".

Windows 10/11 (x64) Watchly-windows-v2.2.0-x64-setup.exe

The phone app is com.torrentviewer.app and the TV app com.torrentviewer.tv. Both install over earlier builds in place.

On Windows, run the setup. It installs Watchly over any earlier version (no .NET needed), with a Start menu entry and an uninstaller. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info → Run anyway. Allow the Windows Firewall prompt on first launch so peers can connect.
