Simkl does a great job tracking what we’ve already watched, but it completely skips over unwatched shows saved to our platform-specific watchlists—like Crunchyroll’s My Queue or Netflix’s My List. These lists often represent what we actually plan to watch next, but Simkl doesn’t import them.

The Request:
Let users import their unwatched watchlist items from supported streaming services into Simkl’s “Plan to Watch” list. Start with Crunchyroll and expand from there.

How It Could Work:

A one-time bulk import of saved-but-unwatched shows

Optional auto-sync to keep things updated when users add new items

Avoid duplicates by checking against the existing Simkl library

What users would be able to do with this feature:

User selects “Import Watchlists” in Simkl or the browser extension

Connects to supported streaming accounts (e.g. Crunchyroll)

Simkl shows the list of unwatched saved shows

One-click to import them into “Plan to Watch”

Option to turn on ongoing sync

Why This Matters:

Saves users time by automatically migrating years of saved shows

Prevents forgotten shows that fall through the cracks

Makes Simkl a true hub for planning and tracking all watching, not just what’s been started

Final Thought:
This feature would solve a long-standing user problem, give Simkl a unique advantage over other trackers, and help users get more value from their accounts with less manual work.
