How the swipes work

Swipe right to save a title and left to skip it. The app says your swipes teach it your taste over time, so early picks may miss. A few swipes is the whole setup.

When a rating-based tool wins

A tool built on thousands of your ratings can learn a finer profile. If you want that depth and enjoy rating, use one of those.

A quick way to start

  1. Pick the mood you are in.
  2. Add how long you have.
  3. Swipe on three or four picks.
  4. Save the best, then watch it.
