How the radar works

Release Radar collects dates from public databases once every few hours and keeps the most useful slice: widely followed films, premieres rather than every weekly episode, the whole anime season, and games with a firm date. The notes above each list are calculated from that data, so they change as schedules change.

Tracking adds a title to your private library as unfinished and places it in a private Release Radar collection. Nothing is shared, rated, or reviewed until you choose to. If you already have the title, we reuse your entry instead of creating a duplicate. On release day you get a notification in OmniTrackr that it is out, and the same goes for new seasons and sequels of anything already in your library.

Dates move. Games slip, streaming drops change, and some films open in limited release first. Each card links to its source so you can double-check before you plan a night around it.
