Sharkcine is a cinema companion for deciding what to watch tonight — then remembering the night. You set Intent and Method, Seal one title from your Shelf or TMDb, and keep a receipt. It never plays or streams the film. It is not a streaming app, not a player, and not a “what’s trending” feed. Open the app and you land on Ritual: seal a citation, then watch elsewhere. Who it’s for • Anyone tired of scrolling and needing one title, not ten tabs • Two people who want a handshake before they commit • Viewers who keep a local Shelf of candidates • People who jot voice notes or a watch log after the film • Anyone who wants a readable history of seals — not a playback library Three steps Ritual. Choose Intent (Solo, Together, or Surprise) and Method (Pick one or Browse three). Together waits for a handshake first. Seal. Draw a citation using tonight’s taste filters and source (Shelf or TMDb). Sharkcine writes a receipt. It does not start playback. After. Watch on your own player, cinema, or service. Use Chronicle for notes. Find the night again in Archive. What’s inside • Ritual setup: audience, mood, runtime, intensity — knobs for Seal, not alerts. No push notifications. • Help search on Ritual for rules (Seal, Together, Shelf, playback). • Shelf: add by hand or cite TMDb (English titles work best). Tag why a title belongs. • Chronicle: Live Notes and a watch log. Microphone and speech stay on device for transcription; we don’t upload that audio to Sharkcine servers. • Archive: receipts you can read, mark watched, share, or export as JSON. • Optional poster from your Photo Library for handwritten Shelf entries — saved locally. On your device No login is required. No iCloud sync. Seals, Shelf, notes, and receipts stay on your iPhone or iPad unless you export or share them yourself. Uninstalling the app removes that local store. Film and TV titles, overviews, and posters come from The Movie Database (TMDb). This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
