How it works
It’s not a streaming service.
It’s how you stop arguing about one.
Cinema Circle is built around your group. Three steps, one decision everyone is happy with.
From the app
Built around the group, not the catalog.
The features streaming apps don’t bother with — because they’re trying to keep one person watching, not five people happy.
YOUR CIRCLES
Every group you watch with, in one feed.
A circle is the people — your roommates, your spouse, your Friday crew. Each circle holds every session you’ve ever run with them, so you remember what you decided last time. Tap in to start a new round.
SESSIONS
One round of swiping, with rules everyone agreed to up front.
A session is a single decision — Friday horror night, Sunday rom-coms, the road-trip pick. Choose Discovery to filter by genre, provider, year, and rating, or Curated to handpick the shortlist yourself. Set the match threshold, run it Anytime or with a Scheduled deadline, and decide whether matches reveal live or stay blind until the end.
SWIPE TOGETHER
Real titles, real posters, no algorithm steering.
Everyone in the session swipes the same deck. No ads. No recommendations engineered for one viewer.
MATCHES, WATCHED & SHAME
Queue what to watch. Rate it after. Laugh at the unanimous nopes.
Matches surface live, or stay blurred in Blind reveal until you flip them. Mark titles as watched and rate them — every member rates independently. The Shame tab keeps the running list of titles your circle unanimously passed on.
