How the thing actually works, and the handful of settings that make it noticeably better.

Finding something to watch

The whole product is one idea: name a film you already love, and get films that share what made it good.

  1. Type a film you love into the search box. Any film — it does not need to be a favourite, just something you enjoyed.
  2. Open it. That is the moment the recommendations are generated, so it is also the moment a free search is spent.
  3. Work down the matches. Each one shows where it is streaming for your country.
  4. React as you go. Loved, liked, seen it, not for me — every reaction sharpens what comes next.

Searching and browsing are free and unmetered. Only opening a film costs you one, because that is where the work happens.

Teaching it your taste

There is no questionnaire and no genre picker. It learns entirely from what you do, which means the first evening is the worst it will ever be.

  • Loved and likedpull future recommendations toward that film’s tone, era and themes.
  • Seen it removes a film from your results permanently. Use it freely — it is the fastest way to stop being shown the obvious classics you watched years ago.
  • Not for me is the strongest signal you can give. It tells us what to steer away from, which matters more than another thing you like.

Once you have reacted to a reasonable number of films, Movie DNA (part of Plus) writes the whole thing up: the themes you return to, the decades you live in, and the things you reliably refuse.

Where things are streaming

Every match carries the services it is on in your country. Availability comes from JustWatch via TMDB and moves constantly — films leave services with no notice, so treat a badge as very good information rather than a guarantee.

  • A dimmed logo with a question mark means we had no data for your country and are showing a neighbouring Nordic one instead. Worth checking before you commit the evening to it.
  • Nothing listed means we could not verify anywhere it streams. We would rather say that than invent a service.

Your services, and Plex

This is the single setting most worth two minutes of your time. On your profile, pick the services you actually pay for. Matches you can watch tonight, without signing up for anything new, get surfaced first.

If you run Plex, you can connect it from the same page and see at a glance what is already sitting in your own library — which is often the answer, and free.

Movie Night

For when two of you cannot agree, which is the actual reason most evenings are wasted.

  1. One person starts a Movie Night and gets a code.
  2. Everyone else joins with it.
  3. You are all dealt the same five films, drawn from everyone’s tastes together.
  4. Each of you secretly picks the two you want — and one block, if there is a dealbreaker.
  5. The most-wanted film wins. Nobody has to argue for it.

Two players is free with an account. Party Mode, for a larger group, is part of Plus.

Free searches, and what Plus changes

  • No account: 10 films a day, straight from the homepage. No card, no sign-up.
  • Free account: 50 films in total, plus favourites, watchlist, streaming alerts and two-player Movie Night.
  • Plus: no limit on searches, plus Surprise Me, mood search, Movie DNA and Party Mode. Full details on pricing.

The free account allowance is a lifetime one rather than a daily one, so there is no reason to ration yourself on any given evening.

Signing in

There are no passwords. Sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a link sent to your email — whichever you use, it reaches the same account as long as the email address matches. Favourites, ratings, history and your subscription follow the account, not the device.
