## What is SlateMate?

SlateMate is a movie diary for people who argue about films.

Log every film you watch, give it a score out of 5(or 10 in settings), and say what you actually thought in a full review, or in a one-line gut take. Share the rating with your friends or keep it personal. 

KEEP A REAL RECORD
Rate out of 5 stars or change the scale to 10. Add a short gut take, tap a reaction, mark the ones you loved. Watched it last Tuesday? Backdate it. Everything is searchable, filterable by genre, and sortable by score.

RATE FIRST. THEN SEE WHERE YOU LANDED.
Nobody else's score appears until you've committed to your own. Only then do you find out whether you were the high, the low, or right in the middle, this is used so the crowd never anchors your number before you pick it.

INVITE-ONLY GROUPS
Start a group for your roommates, your family, or the three friends who won't stop recommending you things. Every entry stays private until you tag it to a group, so you share exactly what you mean to. Build a shared watch list, vote on what's next, then argue with the stats: best and worst rated, who has watched the most, who rates hardest, and a Most Divisive list of the films you couldn't agree on.

ONE LOG COVERS EVERYONE
Watched it with your group? Name who was there and it lands in their history too. Four people on the couch, one entry — not the same film logged four separate times.

FRIENDS
Add someone with a friend code and you each get the other's full history, not just the films you happened to watch together. It takes both people saying yes, and either can undo it. React to what they wrote. You're found by the code you hand out, not by being searched for, and what a friend can see is yours to turn off.

PUT A FILM IN SOMEONE'S HANDS
Send a friend a film you think they need to see, with a line about why. It waits in their recommendations until they watch it, and when they do, they can thank you for it. 

STATS WORTH OPENING
Total films, total minutes, favorite genre, your best and worst of all time, and a watch-activity calendar that fills in as the year goes on. 

FIND SOMETHING TO WATCH
Recommendations built from the films you rated highest — and each one tells you which of your films it came from, so you can see why it's there. Search by actor or director and browse their whole filmography. Open any film for its cast, crew, and the films most like it. Plus what's in theaters, popular now, top rated, and coming soon. Save anything to your watch list, alone or with a group.

MAKE IT YOURS
Prefer five stars to a ten-point score? Switch the scale and every rating in the app restates itself, including your friends'. Light, dark, or whatever your phone is doing. Bigger text whenever you want it.

NO ADS. NO TRACKING. YOUR FEED IN ORDER.
No advertising, no analytics, no tracking of any kind. Your feed runs in the order things happened, not the order something decided you should see them. Nothing you log is visible to anyone until you share it, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, in three taps.

### 5/5 — Found what I needed

*2026-10-21*

Honestly, this was exactly what I needed when I went looking for a good movie rating app. The fact that I can be in a group with friends and actually keep track of the movies we randomly decide we want to watch is perfect. Also, I just appreciate the feed that I can get an easy look into my judgiest friend’s movie insight. I’m looking forward to see how this app continues to develop.
