unwatched
Without any supervision
Unwatched describes something that is not being observed or monitored.
An unwatched pot may boil over; an unwatched child may get into mischief.
The word often carries a subtle implication of neglect or missed opportunity: The security camera was unwatched during the break-in.
In the age of streaming, unwatched also commonly describes media content sitting in a queue: I have dozens of unwatched episodes piling up.
