A free app that ends the nightly argument about what to watch.
Five streaming apps, two tired people, and forty minutes of scrolling before someone gives up and puts a panel show on. Deciding what to watch together is a genuinely unsolved household problem, so I built the thing I wanted to exist.
MatchWatch works like this: everyone in the household swipes through movies and shows matched to the streaming services they actually pay for. When everyone swipes right on the same title, that is the night sorted.
The app is React and TypeScript on Supabase, with real-time match detection in the database itself, group decks that quietly learn what the household agrees on, and an AI layer that re-ranks each deck to taste. Title and availability data covers New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US.
The same codebase ships three ways: a web app, and native iOS and Android builds wrapped with Capacitor, submitted to the App Store and Google Play in July 2026. The marketing site at matchwatch.tv is its own build, Next.js with four regional editions and an editorial blog.
The detail I care most about: MatchWatch keeps working on the couch when the wifi does not. The deck, poster art and your swipes are all cached locally, swipes queue while offline and sync when the connection returns, and native push carries matches and nudges the moment they land.
