Step one
Swipe at speed.
Five instincts. One film at a time. Faster than you can second-guess.
Films, by instinct
Your film canon.
Built in minutes.
Swipe the films you know. WatchLyst learns your taste and builds your list of what to watch next. No stars, no reviews, no years of logging.

Or try the swipe yourself, no download.
The problem
Streaming solved access. Nobody solved taste.
Every service can show you ten thousand films. None of them knows which twenty you would love. The ones that try lean on what everyone else watched, and everyone else is not you.
The only fix is your own taste, written down. That used to take years of logging. WatchLyst makes it a few minutes of swiping.
How it works
Swipe. Face-Off. Canon.
Step two
Face-Off to sharpen.
Two films you've seen. Pick the better one. The engine learns the fine print.
Step three
Your canon, built.
Masterpiece to Hated, every film where you put it. Your Lyst, revealed.
Five instincts
One card. Five gestures. Nothing to type.
- LovedDouble tap. The films you'd defend at dinner.
- LikedSwipe up. Glad you saw it.
- SeenSwipe right. It happened. No feelings either way.
- DislikedSwipe down. Never again.
- Not seenSwipe left. Or not sure, or can't remember it. It goes to BackLyst, and if it deserves a second look it comes back as a recommendation.
And one more: press and hold any card, or any row in your Lysts, to open the film's page, with the trailer and where to watch.
Your three Lysts
Everything you've seen, everything you should, everything that's next.
MyLyst
What you've seen, sorted into your own tiers. Your canon, in your order.
BackLyst
Films picked for your taste, ordered by how sure the engine is you'll love them.
NextLyst
What you'll watch next. Queue it from anywhere with one swipe.
Taste is not a democracy.
Averages are for everyone, which means they're for no one. WatchLyst learns one person's taste, yours, and never asks the crowd to vote on it.
Coming with the beta: Debate, where you argue a film out with the people whose taste you trust, and friends, so you can see where your canons meet.
The WaitLyst
Your canon starts here.
