CloseCut is a private home for your movie and series memories. Remember what you watched, preserve why it mattered, understand how your taste changes, and make your next choice with less browsing and more confidence. MORE THAN RATINGS A title can be connected to a mood, a moment, a place, the people around you, and what stayed with you afterward. CloseCut gives those details a place without turning every memory into a public review. BUILD YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY Add past watches quickly with Quick Add or create a richer memory when you want more detail. Browse your history through Timeline and Library, search past entries, and return to the moments that mattered. MAKE THE NEXT CHOICE EASIER QuickPick offers one thoughtful suggestion with an understandable reason. Battle helps you choose between titles, while My List keeps future possibilities separate from what you have already watched. SHARE SELECTIVELY CloseCut is private by default. You decide which memories to share and with which Circle. Create watch plans, discuss a title, and coordinate with people you trust without maintaining a public profile or follower count. EXPLORE YOUR TASTE Personal insights and wrap-style summaries help you notice patterns in your history without reducing your taste to a fixed label or score. BUILT FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT LIFE • Private movie and series journal • Quick Add for past watches • Timeline and searchable Library • My List for titles you want to watch • Explainable QuickPick recommendations • Local Battle decision modes • Private Circles, reactions, comments, and watch plans • Awards Picks and culture insights • Light and Dark appearance • English, Spanish, and Portuguese support • Local-first access to your personal history CloseCut is not a streaming service and does not provide access to movies or series.
