What's next for Reely

A transparent look at what I'm building right now and where the app is heading. No vague promises, just the actual plan.

3.6.0

Latest release

Personalization

  • Themes

    Choose how Reely looks. Light, dark, and custom color themes to match your setup and your mood.

  • Card density

    Adjust the size and density of posters and cards. Pack more on screen or give everything more room to breathe.

  • Multi-source ratings

    Compare normalized ratings from TMDB, Trakt, IMDb, Letterboxd, Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, and MyAnimeList in one place.

  • Screen lock

    Lock player controls on touch devices to prevent accidental taps while watching.

  • Sleep timer

    Set a playback timer, stop at the end of a film, and get a good-night notification when playback ends.

  • Sync screen redesign

    Follow every sync phase with a clearer step tracker, progress indicators, and cinema quotes.

3.7.0

Current / next release

Security, discovery & faster sync

  • Password recovery

    Reset a forgotten password with a single-use link, with active sessions revoked after the change.

  • Custom profile avatars

    Use an image URL for a profile avatar, or choose from the expanded preset collection.

  • TV search redesign

    Search on TV with a dedicated layout, compact AZERTY and QWERTY keyboards, numeric mode, and clearer remote navigation.

  • Improved mobile episode cards

    See episode titles, summaries, runtimes, ratings, and release dates directly on the artwork when the source provides them.

  • Reely Doctor

    Run live-source checks for connectivity, DNS, the catalogue, and EPG, with Android DNS recommendations when needed.

  • Faster synchronization

    Reduce the time needed to bring your catalogue and account data up to date.

  • More efficient synchronization

    Avoid unnecessary work during syncs so updates use fewer resources and stay reliable on larger libraries.

  • Separate catalogue refresh schedules

    Choose different automatic refresh intervals for live TV, movies, and series. Reely downloads only the catalogues that are due.

  • Custom menu

    Reorder the menu and hide pages you use less. On TV, Lists and Search can be shown or hidden too.

Later

For the future

Future directions

  • Android TV native keyboard

    Use the native Android keyboard for text fields while keeping D-pad focus, Back dismissal, and IME actions.

  • Android TV & Google TV

    Deeper optimizations for TV navigation, D-pad flows, and the living-room experience.

  • Samsung & LG OS

    Bring Reely to Samsung Tizen and LG webOS smart TVs.

  • Apple TV

    Bring Reely to Apple TV with full tvOS support.

    Aperçu lors de défilement de la barre du lecture

    by Harukay

    A small suggestion for the player: When scrolling through the playback bar, I'd like it not to advance automatically and to be able to see a preview image while scrolling (similar to Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, etc.)

    Indication nouvelle épisode

    by Farcrime

    It would be great to have a notification when a new episode is released, so we don't always have to click on the series to check. Ideally, we'd receive a notification (only for series marked as "Favorites") and see a small visual badge like "+1" or "+2" right on the poster in the interface to show how many episodes have been added.

    re-synchro du son avec la vidéo

    Allow users to adjust the delay between the audio and video when playing a video if they are out of sync. VLC lets you adjust this, so why not implement it here if possible?

    Passage à la chaîne suivante ou précédente

    Be able to change channels directly using the buttons on our dedicated remote control; if the remote does not have dedicated buttons, add left and right arrows directly to the interface to go to the next and previous channels This avoids having to go back and return to the interface to change channels

    Avance rapide

    Set up a fast-forward feature that, when you press the right arrow key (or press it multiple times), skips forward by x seconds (configurable) without bringing up the menu. This would allow you to fast-forward quickly without having to navigate through the player's various menus.

    Affichage nouveau épisode

    by FloTeufel

    Since the content is combined, it might be nice to display all the episodes of a series even if some episodes aren't in the same quality. In the series I’m watching, I couldn’t see episode 4, so I thought it hadn’t been released yet, when in fact it was just in “new release” quality and not 4K.

    That would be great if the app sent us a notification to let us know that an update is available.

    [Android TV] Amélioration clavier in app

    6 votes

    by Harukay

    Several suggestions for improving the keyboard in the app, since the Android keyboard is buggy (let's see what can be done). - Make it smaller or allow users to do so. - Prevent getting stuck when moving from right to left on the keyboard (be able to go from “A” to “P”) - Display results in real time as you type (starting at 3 letters, perhaps) - Suggest "words" at the top while typing? That’s it 😊
