The official shutdown timeline
TV Time published a support notice saying it had decided to discontinue the service because continuing it as a free app was no longer sustainable and there was not enough demand for a paid version.
The same notice said TV Time would remain available through 15 July 2026. After that date it expected:
- the app to be removed from Apple’s App Store and Google Play;
- the TV Time website to stop being available;
- the service to become inaccessible;
- personal TV Time account data to be deleted.
These are TV Time’s statements, not estimates made by Kino.
What the export page means now
TV Time’s notice directed people to its official data export tool before the shutdown. Kino checked the linked TV Time GDPR export page again on 22 July 2026 and the sign-in page still responded.
Reachability is not proof that a new archive can still be generated or that account data remains available. If you already possess an export, keep the unchanged ZIP and a separate backup. If you do not have one, you can try the official page, but treat the outcome as uncertain.
Sensible next steps
- Search your downloads, cloud storage, and backups for the original ZIP.
- Keep that file unchanged and make a second copy.
- Review what Kino imports from supported archives.
- Follow the Kino import walkthrough.
- Read the completed import report before deciding that any missing title has been lost.
Frequently asked questions
Why did TV Time close?
Its official notice said the free service was no longer sustainable and there was insufficient demand for a paid app. Kino does not have additional first-party information about that decision.
Is the TV Time app still available?
The official notice said it would be removed from Apple’s App Store and Google Play after 15 July 2026 and that the service would no longer be accessible.
Can I still download my data?
The official export sign-in page was reachable when checked on 22 July. That does not guarantee login, account recovery, data availability, or creation of a new archive.
Can Kino recover data without an archive?
No. Kino imports supported records from an archive you upload; it cannot retrieve a closed service’s account data on your behalf.
