How it works
WatchMatch isn't a genre filter. Instead of asking you to pick "action" or "comedy" from a dropdown, we ask a few quick questions about how you're actually feeling right now — your energy level, who's watching with you, how much time you have, and a few other things.
A few quick questions, not a checklist
Seven quick prompts about mood and context — energy, company, time, and a couple more — instead of a wall of genre checkboxes.
Every answer nudges the whole picture at once
Each answer nudges a set of preferences behind the scenes: how intense or light-hearted something should be, how fast it should move, how old or new it should feel, and which genres tend to fit that mood. We weigh all of that together — not one filter at a time — against a huge library of real movies and shows.
One top pick, a few backups, one line each
You get back one top pick and a handful of alternatives, each with a one-line reason for why it fits what you told us.
Didn't love the picks? Ask again
Didn't love the picks? Mark the ones you've already seen and ask for more — we'll keep working from the same answers to find your next match.
Not just "it's a comedy," but something more like "matches your low-energy mood and your one-hour window."
