## Description

WatchSense suggests TV series to watch next, based on your own viewing history and an LLM of your choice. It imports what you watched on Netflix (session cookies with automatic sync, bookmarklet or CSV), Prime Video (bookmarklet or CSV), Stremio (account sync) and Trakt (data export), enriches it with TMDB metadata (posters, genres, streaming providers of your region) and asks any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, cloud (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Groq, Mistral, ...) or local (Ollama, LM Studio), for recommendations. Your ratings, show status and taste notes shape the next suggestions. TV series only: films found in your histories are stored but not shown or used. Disney+, Apple TV+ and other services without a viewing history are not imported. All data stays on your server in one SQLite file plus the key that encrypts saved secrets (/app/data). The free TMDB API key and the LLM provider are set in
