TV Time, a popular app for tracking TV shows and ratings, will shut down on July 15. Parent company Whip Media is discontinuing the consumer product to focus on enterprise AI solutions.

Whip Media announced the closure of TV Time, which allowed users to track shows, manage watchlists, and discover content. The shutdown represents a strategic shift for the company toward business-focused AI products. TV Time built a dedicated user base over its years of operation, offering a social platform for TV enthusiasts. The app's closure marks another instance of consumer tech products being discontinued as companies redirect resources toward artificial intelligence. Users will lose access to the service on the July 15 deadline. Whip Media has not announced whether user data or watchlist information will be exportable before the shutdown. The move reflects broader industry trends as companies reassess product portfolios and prioritize AI development over traditional consumer applications. Whip Media joins numerous tech firms scaling back consumer services to concentrate on enterprise offerings.
