Truce Tonight is the swipe-to-decide app for movie nights. No more endless scrolling. No more "you choose." Just swipe. Watch the trailer, swipe right if you'd watch it, left if you wouldn't. Pair up with your partner — when you both swipe right on the same title, it's a match, and it lands on your shared shortlist. WHAT'S INSIDE • Tinder-style swiping through curated movies and TV shows • Real trailers, real synopses, real cast — powered by TMDB • Pair with one buddy (or several) and watch the matches roll in • A "would-watch" list you can drag into the order you want to watch them • Filter by genre, release window, finished series, or coming soon • See what's just released, what's about to drop, and what's never going to end • Mark what you've seen, rate it 1–10 • Search the full TMDB catalogue if you have something specific in mind • Share titles to WhatsApp with one tap so your partner sees them outside the app WHY IT EXISTS Most couples spend more time choosing what to watch than actually watching. Truce Tonight makes the choosing the fun bit. PRIVACY Sign in with Apple or Google. Your swipes are yours. You can delete your account and all your data at any time from Settings.
