## What is Matinee?

Matinee is a watch-later queue for videos that follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Save a YouTube link from Safari, X, or any app. Pull entire collections from Raindrop. Connect mymind and pull a space. Subscribe to YouTube channels by URL. Follow a subreddit. Paste any RSS or Atom feed — even a blog homepage and Matinee finds the feed for you. Mark something watched on your phone — your Apple TV already knows.

ONE QUEUE, EVERY DEVICE
- iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV stay in sync through your own iCloud account.
- Mark watched once. The state follows you everywhere.
- Search the whole queue by title or channel.

RAINDROP, FIRST-CLASS
- Sign in once with OAuth, pick a collection, done.
- Optional #watched tag pushed back to Raindrop when you finish a video.
- One-time unlock for Pro. No subscription.

MYMIND
- Connect with an access key. Pick one space, or pull the YouTube videos from all of them.
- Finish a video and Matinee marks it completed in mymind — the same flag you would set there yourself.
- A read-only key is enough to import; marking completed needs a full-access key.
- Pro tier feature.

YOUTUBE CHANNELS
- Add a channel by handle or URL. Matinee resolves the rest.
- Latest videos pulled from the public RSS feed.
- Free tier covers one channel. Pro removes the limit.

REDDIT SUBREDDITS
- Add a subreddit by name, r/name, or full URL.
- Matinee pulls posts from the subreddit's public feed and keeps the ones linking to YouTube or Vimeo.
- Pro tier feature.

ANY RSS OR ATOM FEED
- Paste a feed URL — or just the homepage. Matinee finds the feed for you.
- Parses RSS 2.0 and Atom, including WordPress and podcast-style enclosures.
- Items linking to YouTube or Vimeo videos go into the queue. Anything else is skipped.

NATIVE TO YOUR DEVICES
- Share sheet on iPhone and iPad drops a video straight into your Inbox.
- Select multiple videos to mark watched, move to Inbox, or delete in bulk — five-second undo on every destructive action.
- iPad: ⌘R refresh, ⌘F search, ⌘A select all, Esc cancel, Space to mark watched, drag-and-drop from Safari, multi-window with Stage Manager.
- Apple TV: focus-friendly grid, long-press for quick actions, watched state from your phone follows you to the living room.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
- Zero third-party analytics.
- Your library lives on your devices and in your iCloud, not on our servers.
- We don't run any servers, so we couldn't see your data even if we wanted to.

PRICING
- Matinee is free forever with Inbox and one YouTube channel.
- Matinee Pro unlocks Raindrop, mymind, unlimited YouTube channels, subreddits, and any RSS feed with a one-time unlock.
- Future sources (Vimeo) come included for Pro users at no extra cost.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-31

- A visual refresh across iPhone and Apple TV: one palette and one set of controls, drawn from the app icon.
- Search now looks through everything, watched videos included.
- Removing a source asks first, and you can undo it.
- Empty screens say what they are actually waiting for. An empty Inbox, a source that has published nothing, and a filter that matched nothing are three different things.
- The sidebar shows how many videos are left in each row.
- Vimeo videos stay put — they were being removed for not being on YouTube.
- Errors no longer hide behind an open sheet, and the Raindrop and mymind pickers show when they are loading.
- Apple TV: focus starts on the first video instead of the search icon, the onboarding buttons are readable, and YouTube only comes up for videos that are on YouTube.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-02

- mymind as a source. Connect with an access key, pick one space or pull YouTube videos from all of them, and Matinee marks a video completed in mymind when you finish it. Pro feature.

### 1.2 — 2026-05-21

- New Add Source sheet: clearer cards that explain what each source actually pulls in.
- Select mode has its own toolbar button — no more tap-and-hold confusion.
- Tapping a video opens it reliably.
- Cleaner centered confirmation when deleting in bulk.
- More readable Raindrop collection picker.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-10

What's new in 1.1:

- Reddit subreddits as a source. Add by name, r/name, or full URL. Matinee pulls posts and keeps the ones linking to YouTube or Vimeo. Pro feature.
- RSS and Atom feeds. Paste any feed URL — or just a blog homepage and Matinee will find the feed for you. Works with WordPress, Substack, Vimeo channels, and podcast-style enclosures. Pro feature.
- Bulk actions. Select multiple videos to mark watched, move to Inbox, or delete — on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Tap-and-hold or use ⌘A / Esc on iPad.
- Brand new onboarding with a welcoming gradient and a clearer Pro story.
- Dozens of small fixes across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV — focus, layout, and undo.
