# CinReco

> CinReco is a free movie and TV recommendation app that runs in the browser at app.cinreco.com. You describe what you are in the mood for in plain English, such as "something dark, gritty and intellectual", and swipe to like or skip suggestions so it learns your taste. Group sessions merge several people's tastes into one shortlist so friends, couples and families can agree on something to watch. It also plays trailers, keeps a watchlist with match scores, and shows a genre breakdown of your taste. CinReco does not stream video.

CinReco is live and free to use today at https://app.cinreco.com. A
free account (email and password, no credit card, email confirmation
required, ready in under a minute) is needed to use it. Native iOS and
Android apps are in development and not yet published to any app store —
the web app is the only way to use CinReco right now.

## What problem it solves

People spend longer choosing what to watch than they mean to, and choosing in a
group is harder still because each person's streaming recommendations are built
only from their own history. CinReco lets you say what you want in plain
language and learns your taste as you swipe, and it can combine several
people's tastes into one shortlist everyone is likely to accept.

## Features

- Mood search: describe what you want in ordinary language — "something dark,
  gritty and intellectual", "funny but not stupid" — or tap a preset vibe such
  as Cozy Feel-Good. AI semantic search matches the meaning of the description
  rather than keywords or genre tags.
- Swiping: like, skip or super-swipe each suggestion. Every swipe updates your
  taste profile.
- Group sessions: start a session, share its room code or invite people by
  email, set a shared vibe, and get consensus matches drawn from everyone's
  combined taste.
- Trailers and details: watch a title's trailer and read its details in the app.
- Watchlist: save titles for later; each shows a match score, and the list can
  be searched and filtered by genre.
- Taste profile: genre analytics, swipe and match counts, preferred genres and
  a minimum rating threshold that filters out weaker titles.

## How to start

1. Open https://app.cinreco.com and create a free account.
2. Pick a few favourite genres and a minimum rating, then confirm your email.
3. Type what you're in the mood for and swipe through the suggestions.
4. Optionally start a group session and share the room code.
5. Save picks to your watchlist, watch the trailer, and play the film on the
   streaming service you already use.

## FAQ

### What is CinReco?

CinReco is a free movie and TV recommendation app. You tell it what you're in the mood for in plain English and swipe through suggestions; every like and skip teaches it your taste. It can also merge several people's tastes into one shortlist, so a couple, a family or a group of friends can agree on something to watch.

### What is mood search?

Instead of filtering by genre, you type what you want in ordinary language, such as "something dark, gritty and intellectual" or "funny but not stupid". CinReco uses AI semantic search to match the meaning of that description against its movie catalogue and returns titles that fit.

### How does group mode work?

Start a group session and invite people by sharing the room code or entering their email address. Everyone swipes, and CinReco combines the group's tastes and a shared vibe into consensus matches, so the pick is chosen for the group as a whole rather than one person's history.

### Is CinReco free?

Yes. CinReco is free to use, with no credit card required. There is no paid tier or subscription at this time.

### Do I need an account?

Yes. You need a free account with an email address and password, and you confirm your email before you start. Signing up takes under a minute.

### Which platforms does CinReco run on?

CinReco runs today as a web app at app.cinreco.com, in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. Native iOS and Android apps are in development and not yet published to any app store.

### Is CinReco a streaming service?

No. CinReco does not host or stream any video. It helps you decide what to watch, with trailers, details and a watchlist, and you then watch the title on whichever service you already use.

Movie and TV metadata, posters and trailers come from TMDB (The Movie Database). CinReco uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
