## What is Watchmood?

You sit down to watch something. Twenty minutes later you're still scrolling, and you haven't started anything.

Watchmood fixes that. Say how you feel, in your own words, and get a handful of real things you could start tonight.


SAY IT LIKE YOU'D SAY IT TO A FRIEND
Type a whole sentence. Watchmood reads it:
• A mood — "something funny and light"
• A subject — "a series about doctors"
• What you don't want — "nothing scary", "nothing heavy"

With Apple Intelligence it reads more:
• A time — "best thrillers from the 90s"
• A comparison — "like Stranger Things but scarier"
• How long you've got — "I only have an hour" finds shows with shorter episodes

Sort by Best Match, Highest Rated, Newest or Most Popular. Tap the bookmark to save one for later, or press and hold to like it, pass on it, or clear it from your results.


IT NEVER LEAVES YOU STUCK
If a search hits a snag, Watchmood quietly tries another way instead of giving up. If nothing quite fits, you get friendly one-tap ideas — never a blank screen. And you can tap X to stop a search whenever you like.


SWIPE TO DISCOVER
Swipe cards — right to like, left to pass, up to save. Pick a few genres when you start, so your first cards already fit. The more you swipe, the closer they get. One tap undoes your last swipe, even if it was your last card.


KNOW WHY IT'S THERE
Once you've liked a few things, your picks show a match score and a plain reason, like "Strong match — close to what you keep liking (Crime + Drama)".


FOUND ONE FOR TONIGHT? SHARE IT
Send any movie or show to your partner or the group chat straight from its page, and settle "what should we watch?" in seconds.


SEARCH FOR ANYTHING
Already have a title in mind? Search by name — and before you type, see what's trending this week.


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DECIDE
• Cast, ratings, the full overview and a link to the trailer
• Where it's streaming Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+ and more
• Every episode and air date for shows
• Film franchises, laid out in release order
• What reviewers thought, plus a short read on the good and the bad
• "What you're in for" — a short take on each title
(The short take and the review summary use Apple Intelligence.)


SPOILER CHECK
Watchmood reads the reviews it shows you and blurs the ones that look like they give the ending away, behind a "Tap to reveal". That check runs on your device and works whether or not you have Apple Intelligence.


TAP ANY ACTOR
Fell for someone on screen? Tap their photo for a short bio and more of what they've been in.


YOUR TASTE, WITH A NAME
Once Watchmood learns what you like, it gives you a short signature at the top of your Discover screen, drawn from the titles you actually liked. (Needs Apple Intelligence.)


LOOK BACK ANY TIME
Your History keeps everything you've liked and passed on, so you can find that title you swiped past last week.


YOUR WATCHLIST, EVERYWHERE
Save picks for later and pick up where you left off on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your watchlist and likes sync through your own private iCloud. Your saved list still opens when you're offline.


PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The AI runs right on your device. No account, no ads, no analytics, and no servers of ours — your taste stays yours.


Stop wondering what to watch. Open Watchmood and find something for tonight.

### 1/5 — WHAT?

*2024-02-04*

I am going thru a bunch of movie titles, clicking X or Heart but have nonidea why. I thought it was looking at what I like and the would recommend movoies. How the heck does this app work?

### 1/5 — i cant even watch a movie

*2022-03-06*

want even let me watch a movie

### 1/5 — Have to guess how it works or it doesn’t work?

*2022-02-13*

Considering that there are no instructions inside the app past the general intro screens, it’s hard to know what’s up with this app. The main screen has a big back or rewind button, a big X, and a big heart. These do nothing when you tap them - am I supposed to be doing something else? There’s a like and a dislike button at the top that … makes a list of the movies you like or dislike in case you forget? It’s like it’s a demo to show the graphic design of an app that hadn’t had any functionality built yet.

### 1/5 — CW

*2021-11-18*

I just want to search for a movie and it is making me like or unlike movies. I do not recommend.

## Frequently asked questions about Watchmood

### What does Watchmood do?

Watchmood helps you find movies and TV shows to watch by understanding your current mood. Instead of searching by genre, you describe how you feel, and the app provides personalized recommendations tailored to your vibe. It also offers features like trailers, cast information, ratings, and where to stream content.

### How does the recommendation system work?

The app uses AI that learns your taste over time. As you swipe through recommendations (liking or passing), the AI gets smarter about what you enjoy. This ensures your feed becomes increasingly personalized, showing you more of what you love and less of what you don't.

### Is Watchmood free to use?

Yes, Watchmood is completely free to use. The app does not have any in-app purchases or advertisements, and it is available at no cost.

### What devices is Watchmood compatible with?

Watchmood is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your saved watchlist syncs automatically across all your devices, allowing you to access your picks wherever you are.

### Can I save shows and movies for later?

Yes, you can save any movie or TV show you discover to your personal watchlist. This feature allows you to keep track of content you're interested in and access it later on any of your synced devices.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-08-11

Just say what kind of evening you want.

• Describe the night, not the genre. "A series I can disappear
  into for a few weeks", "nothing heavy tonight", "something my
  partner and I will both like" — Watchmood now understands what
  you're really after.

• Tell it what you don't want. "Nothing scary", "no romance",
  "nothing heavy" — Watchmood now searches around the things you
  rule out. It won't catch every way of saying it yet, but the
  plain ones count.

• Real means real. Ask for a true story, or something that
  actually happened, and you'll get documentaries.

• Better picks. Ask for the best of something, and Watchmood aims
  for titles a lot of people have watched and rated well.

• Fewer misses, faster. Less rephrasing, and less waiting.

• See what it's doing. When Watchmood takes an extra step —
  leaving out what you ruled out, holding out for the
  better-rated ones — the status card says so, in plain words.

• Fresh ideas to try. The "Try something like…" suggestions now
  show you the new way of asking.

### 1.9 — 2026-08-04

A smarter Vibe search, a Discover deck that keeps going, and a much steadier app all round.

FIND SOMETHING FASTER
• Vibe search understands a lot more. Try "a series about doctors", "best thrillers from the 90s", or "a movie about time travel".
• Short on time? Say "I only have an hour" and you'll get shows with episodes that fit.
• It never gives up — if a search hits a snag, Watchmood quietly tries another way, so you never have to start over. And if nothing matches, you'll get friendly one-tap ideas instead of a dead end.
• Changed your mind? Tap the X to stop a search anytime.

KEEP SWIPING
• Discover digs much deeper for fresh picks, so a long swiping session keeps going. And when you really have seen everything that fits your taste, we'll tell you — instead of leaving you on a blank card.

### 1.8 — 2026-07-07

This update makes Watchmood smoother, and easier to use.

• Fixed a freeze that could happen when exploring "More Like This" a few titles deep — browse as far as you like!
• Search now lives right in the tab bar, and shows you what's trending this week before you even type.
• Your profile now lives behind your avatar at the top of the screen — one tap away from anywhere.
• Share any movie or show with a friend, straight from its page.
• Tap the heart on any title's page to teach Watchmood what you love.
• Actor pages now include a short biography.
• On iPad, the swipe deck and buttons now fill your screen beautifully.
• A cleaner look everywhere: sharper poster art, smoother animations, and simple colors — coral means Like, blue means Saved.
• Your app icon now looks right at home on dark and tinted Home Screens.

### 1.7 — 2026-06-22

• Search — Look up any movie or show by name, right from Discover, Watchlist, or History.

• Personalized from the start — When you first open the app, pick a few genres you love and your recommendations are tuned to your taste right away.

### 1.6 — 2026-05-09

We've made Watchmood smarter, faster:

• Save anything to your Watchlist straight from the details page — just tap the bookmark in the top corner.

• Your personal Match score and a one-line reason now appear on every details page, so you instantly see why a pick fits your taste.

• Sort and filter your Watchlist and History by Best Match, Highest Rated, Newest, and more.

• Vibe is steadier and more delightful — no more shuffling while you type, with a lovely new "thinking" animation while we read your taste.

• "Why You'll Love This" pitches are personal, and review summaries arrive noticeably faster.
