Orphan Black leaves Netflix on September 1. Talamasca: The Secret Order lands globally at the same time. The two events happen in the same week and neither shows up on the platform’s homepage until it’s almost too late. The best apps for tracking expiring streaming content pull that information forward: they tell you what’s leaving your subscriptions in the next 30 days, on the desktop where you’re already scrolling.
We tested seven picks that work on Windows, macOS, and Linux, either as a browser app or a progressive web app. All show “leaving soon” data. Three do it well enough to trust as your only signal before a show vanishes.
What to look for
The apps split on how they get “expiring” data and how they warn you:
- A dedicated Leaving Soon view for each service (not just Netflix).
- A 30-day horizon at minimum. Some tools only show the next week, which is not enough time to finish a season.
- Notifications by push or email when something on your watchlist is about to leave.
- Watchlist matching: does the app tell you your saved shows are leaving, not just any show?
- Region-aware data, because “leaving Netflix US” doesn’t mean “leaving Netflix UK.”
- Sync across devices so the show you saved on desktop shows up on your phone in time.

1. JustWatch – Best for Leaving Soon calendar by service
JustWatch has the most complete “Leaving Soon” feature of any tracker. Its per-service filter (Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, Peacock, Paramount+) lets you see exactly what disappears from each catalog in the next 30 days, and its dark mode desktop UI is easy on late-night scrolling.
Where it falls short: Watchlist alerts require the mobile app for push notifications. The desktop-only workflow relies on you visiting the tab.
Pricing:
- Free: Full Leaving Soon calendar, all services, all regions.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Web on any desktop. PWA install for a dedicated window.
Download: justwatch.com
Bottom line: The default pick. Free, complete, and updated within a day of the platforms’ own data.
2. Reelgood – Best for region-aware expiration data
Reelgood pioneered the cross-service tracker and its Leaving Soon view remains one of the most reliable. Region data is separate for US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Premium tier adds email alerts specifically for watchlist items about to leave.
Where it falls short: Reelgood’s TV app development slowed in 2025-2026 per user reports. Desktop web is still maintained.
Pricing:
- Free: Full catalog and Leaving Soon view.
- Paid: Premium at $5 monthly for ad-free and email alerts.
Platforms: Web on any desktop, mobile apps for the alerts.
Download: reelgood.com
Bottom line: Pick this if you’re outside the US and need a service that treats non-US catalogs as first-class.
3. Trakt – Best for watchlist-linked notifications
Trakt doesn’t have a native “leaving soon” feed built into the calendar, but its list-and-notification model works around that: subscribe to a public “Leaving Netflix This Month” list and Trakt will notify you whenever items on that list appear in your watchlist. Community-maintained lists cover most major services.
Where it falls short: Requires more setup than JustWatch’s built-in filter. Notifications are VIP-only.
Pricing:
- Free: Manual watchlist, list subscriptions.
- Paid: VIP at $6 monthly for notifications and calendar export.
Platforms: Web on any desktop, iOS and Android apps.
Download: trakt.tv
Bottom line: Best pick if you already use Trakt and want to keep everything in one tool.
4. TV Guide – Best for US-focused Leaving This Month
TV Guide publishes an editorial “Leaving Netflix This Month” and equivalent lists for HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, and Hulu. It’s not an app, exactly, but it is the most human-curated view of what’s going.
Where it falls short: US only. No watchlist matching. No notifications: you have to visit the page.
Pricing:
- Free: Yes. Ad-supported.
- Paid: None.
Platforms: Web on any desktop.
Download: tvguide.com
Bottom line: The right pick if you want a monthly editorial roundup, not a tracker.
5. Simkl – Best for free scrobbling plus expiring email
Simkl covers expiring content via its “Streaming Availability” section and can email you when a show on your watchlist becomes unavailable. Combined with its free browser-extension scrobbling, it’s one of the best-value picks for anyone who both watches and tracks on the same desktop.
Where it falls short: Some expiration data lags JustWatch by a day. Premium is needed for the email feature.
Pricing:
- Free: Everything except email alerts and calendar sync.
- Paid: Premium at $30 yearly for full feature set.
Platforms: Web on any desktop, browser extensions, mobile apps.
Download: simkl.com
Bottom line: Best value if you want scrobbling and expiration alerts in one tool.
6. OnStream – Best for multi-service watchlist alerts
OnStream is the newer entrant that focuses specifically on watchlist alerts across services. Its progressive web app lives cleanly on Windows and macOS docks, and its “About to Leave” notification arrives 14 days before a show disappears, which is more warning than most tools give.
Where it falls short: Newer service, so occasional data gaps in smaller regions. No native scrobbling.
Pricing:
- Free: Everything.
- Paid: None currently.
Platforms: Web, PWA, iOS, Android.
Download: onstream.watch
Bottom line: Pick this if the 14-day warning window matters more than absolute catalog breadth.
7. Moviebase – Best for push notifications, cross-platform
Moviebase is a modern cross-platform watchlist app with strong desktop web support. Its notification model, one push per confirmed expiration on a watchlist item, is exactly what most people want and stops there.
Where it falls short: Fewer service filters than JustWatch. Newer, so Plex integration is not as mature as Trakt’s.
Pricing:
- Free: Full watchlist, expiration notifications.
- Paid: None currently.
Platforms: Web, iOS, Android.
Download: moviebase.app
Bottom line: Best pick for a minimal, notification-driven approach without paying.
How to pick the right one

- If you want a 14-day warning specifically: OnStream.
- If you use Simkl for scrobbling: add the Premium tier for the expiration email.
- If you want a monthly editorial view, not an app: TV Guide.
- If you want push notifications without paying: Moviebase or OnStream.
FAQ
How do I know what’s leaving Netflix this month?
JustWatch has a per-service Leaving Soon calendar that covers Netflix and every other major streamer. Reelgood and Trakt (via community lists) cover the same ground.
Can I get notifications when a show on my watchlist is leaving?
Yes. Trakt VIP, Reelgood Premium, Simkl Premium, OnStream, and Moviebase all send notifications when a watchlist item is about to leave a service.
Why did Orphan Black leave Netflix on September 1?
Streaming rights are licensed for fixed terms. When the term ends, the show comes off unless the license is renewed. Orphan Black’s Netflix license expired at the end of August 2026 and was not renewed.
Does JustWatch work outside the US?
Yes. JustWatch has region-specific catalogs for 130+ countries, and expiration data is region-aware.
Is Reelgood still worth using in 2026?
The web version is reliably maintained. Its native TV apps have received less attention. For desktop tracking, the web app is what you want anyway.
