Do you use the Roku app on the phone for your remote, or do you use the remote that came with the device?
Basically, you are asking for a "meta-" app that would have to use an API (Application Programming Interface) provided by each company, IF they supply one, to request information about what you've watched, and combine them all into a guide based on shows, rather than channels. It would be an interesting challenge but I'm not sure all of the data is available to an app
True, but like the OP points out: the Apple TV app does this (mostly, as it doesn’t track Netflix). Google’s updated interface also tracks episodes across apps now, too, and even includes YoutubeTV — a bonus that I doubt they’d extend to their competitors any time soon (though I hope I’m wrong on that since my household uses YouTubeTV as our main cable replacement).
We really need Roku to do something like this. It would be great!

Until Roku does there are phone and tablet apps which are superior to the spreadsheet I used to use. We've been using TVTime {Android but probably for iIS as well) on my phone. It requires you to check a box once you've watched an episode, but once you've identified all of the shows you watch it want to watch, it's easy enough to stay current. The program listings in TVTime include brief episode descriptions, original are date and run length. We've managed to add every show we watch or might want to watch, including some very old one. We have no cable or over the air reception, so everything we watch is streamed via Wi-Fi and our trusty Roku box from 2014.
Thanks for posting this, guess I will have to check it out. I REALLY WISH Roku would do this. I love my Rokus.....but Apple users apparently have something like this to use and we do not.
And over on this thread (in detail)
...is why "my feed" just does not work for current shows you are watching that are already out (vs. what is coming out). Also some good reasons as to why this feature is really needed.
