The right film, right now. CUT lets you choose by the trailer, not by a synopsis. Watch thirty seconds, make up your mind, and the app tells you where to watch it legally. THE SORT A deck shaped by your taste and your platforms. Swipe one way to keep, the other to pass. What you keep joins your β€œto watch” list. MOVIE NIGHT TOGETHER Everyone on their own phone, everyone sorting the same stack. The first title everyone keeps is tonight's film. TRENDING What's out and what matters, in full-screen trailers. YOUR LIBRARY Three shelves β€” to watch, in progress, finished β€” a calendar of upcoming releases that reaches all the way into Calendar, and β€œWhat to watch tonight?” to draw a title from your list when you can't decide. YOUR JOURNAL Rate what you've seen, write what you thought of it. Your reviews stay private until you publish them. Bring your history over from Letterboxd or IMDb. YOUR SHOWCASE A handle, your published reviews, four pinned posters. Follow other members, reply to their reviews, message them. YOUR YEAR A look back at everything you watched, ready to share as a story. YOUR LISTS File titles into lists, keep them to yourself or publish them: a published list gets its own page, shareable with a link. RATINGS THAT COUNT The Letterboxd average on every title page, next to TMDb's. CUT+ β€” A ONE-OFF PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Billed once by the App Store. No term, no automatic renewal. β€’ Library without a limit β€’ Widgets on the Home Screen and Lock Screen β€’ Live screening in the Dynamic Island β€’ Wider showcase and the CUT+ mark β€’ Who read you β€’ What you have in common, and what to watch together β€’ Release alerts, new episodes and arrivals on your platforms β€’ Your pick of app icon CUT neither hosts nor streams any work. The app presents trailers and points to the legal platforms that carry the title. Film, series and people data: The Movie Database (TMDb).
