No. Every feature works without one, and your library is stored on your device either way. An account is optional.

Turn on Remind me on a show or movie. Episodic then sends one notification on days with something new, at the time you pick in Settings → Notifications. It lists new episodes, premieres and finales, and movie digital releases. iOS asks for permission the first time you turn on a reminder.

Reminders are planned on your device about two months ahead, so open the app now and then to keep them up to date.

Check that notifications for Episodic are allowed in the iOS Settings app, that Remind me is on for the show or movie, and that the kind of release is turned on in Settings → Notifications. Then open Episodic once so it can plan your reminders again.

Episodic uses TMDB's air dates, which don't include a time or time zone. An episode that airs in the evening in the US can already be the next day where you are.

Show and movie information comes from TMDB, a database anyone can edit, so you can correct it there. Episodic refreshes each title every 12 hours, or right away when you pull down on Up next.

On both devices, open Settings → Sync → Nearby sync and check that they show the same 4-digit code. Your library goes directly between them over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with no internet or account needed. Keep Episodic open on both. The first time, iOS asks for permission to find devices on your local network.

Yes. In Settings → Import data, choose an Episodic backup, a Letterboxd export or your IMDb ratings (CSV). You see what will change before anything is added.
