How your library works.

The library collects the threads of your entertainment life. Follow a show and its new episodes land here. Follow an artist and their releases show up. Build lists — watchlists, backlog queues, "movies to argue about at dinner" — and they're waiting on any device where you're signed in.

It's free, it's yours, and it works across your phone, tablet, and computer. Sign in once and your library follows you.

Tap Follow on any movie, series, podcast, artist, game, or creator page. You'll get a single feed of what's new from everything you follow — new episodes, new seasons, new albums, upcoming releases — without hunting across apps.

Unfollow anytime. No guilt, no "are you sure" dark patterns. Your follows are private by default.

Lists are your own collections: a watchlist for the weekend, every Best Picture winner you haven't seen, the games your group chat keeps arguing about. Add any title from its page, reorder by dragging, and share a list with a link when you want a second opinion.

Turn on alerts for the things you don't want to miss: a new episode of a followed podcast, a price drop on a game in your backlog, a theatrical release hitting streaming. You choose what triggers an alert and how you receive it — email or push. Every alert type can be switched off independently.

Your library is visible only to you unless you explicitly share a list. We don't publish your follows, sell your taste profile, or show advertisers what you're watching. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Everything in your library connects in one loop: follow → feed → alert. Tap Follow on a show, and its new episodes start appearing in your feed. Turn on alerts for that topic, and you get tapped on the shoulder the day something lands. Add the title to a list, and it's waiting whenever you're in the mood. The library isn't three separate features — it's one system, and the pieces reinforce each other.

The practical upshot: you don't have to configure anything to benefit. Follow generously — the feed does the organizing — then turn on alerts only for the topics where missing something would genuinely bother you. Most members end up with dozens of follows, a handful of lists, and alerts for two or three topics. That's the sweet spot.

Lists are where the library gets personal. A few patterns that work well:

• The weekend watchlist. The default — everything you mean to watch soon, in the order you mean to watch it. Drag to reorder when priorities change.
• The completist list. Every Best Picture winner, every Studio Ghibli film, all 30 years of GTA — check them off as you go. There's something deeply satisfying about watching a list shrink.
• The argument list. "Movies to argue about at dinner." Share the link with the group chat and let everyone weigh in before the night.
• The backlog. Games you own but haven't started, shows everyone keeps recommending. It stops being guilt and starts being a plan the moment it's written down.

Lists accept anything with a page — movies, series, episodes, podcasts, artists, games, creators. And when you want a second opinion, share a list with a link. The person you share it with sees exactly that list: your follows, favorites, and history stay private.

Alerts are only useful if they're rare enough to matter, so Previously keeps them surgical. Each type is an independent switch in your notification settings: new episodes of followed shows (flagged the day they air), Coming Soon reminders (tracked titles, on release day), live creators going live, game starts and final scores for your teams, new music from followed artists, and the weekly recap email.

You choose the channel per alert — push for the urgent stuff, email for the digestible stuff — and quiet hours (11:00 PM–7:00 AM, your time) hold everything overnight. Nothing wakes you up because a game went to overtime. The rule of thumb: if an alert type has ever made you think "why did I get this," turn that one off. The rest keep working.

Sign in once and your library follows you — phone, tablet, laptop, all of it. Follow a show on your phone during your commute and it's in your feed on your laptop that night. Start an episode on the TV app, pause it, and pick it up on your tablet in bed. That's the whole pitch: one library, everywhere.

One nuance worth knowing: music playlists are kept on the device where you made them. Everything else — follows, lists, favorites, watchlist, history, settings — syncs through your account. So build the playlist where you'll play it, and let the account handle the rest.

Your library is yours in the fullest sense — and two tools are being built to prove it. Data export and account deletion aren't available yet: when they land, you'll be able to download your data from your account, and deleting your account will remove everything tied to it after a 7-day grace period. Until then, everything you save stays in your account, synced everywhere you're signed in.
