Seven recorded iPhone screens showing discovery, title details, Saved and mood search. Movie artwork and streaming availability can change.
Who it is for
For evenings that deserve more watching
Couples choosing on the sofa
Use one phone to build a shortlist together, then choose from Tonight. This is a shared decision on your device, not a remote group-voting feature.
Watchlist keepers
Save a promising title when you find it, filter the list later and keep tonight’s options separate from everything you might watch someday.
Getting started
From “anything good?” to a short queue
Choose your services
Set the subscriptions you have, then adjust discovery range and hard limits to suit the evening.
Save the possibilities
Browse the deck, flip for details and keep the titles that make you want to know what happens next.
Pick from Tonight
Keep the evening’s queue small and open the chosen title through its streaming provider.
Features in detail
Start with the services you already have
Choose your streaming services and discover subscription titles for your region. Availability comes from JustWatch through TMDB and can change, so check the streaming service before you settle in.
Give each title a clear decision
Swipe right to save, left to pass, or up to move a title into Tonight. A single card gives you somewhere to start when another wall of posters would make the choice harder.
Read the details before committing
Flip a card for the available rating, runtime, director, cast and explanation for the pick. Use the details to decide whether it fits the time and mood you have tonight.
Keep a watchlist you can actually use
Saved separates movies and TV, with priorities, sorting and filters. Keep the longer list there, then use Tonight as the smaller queue for the evening in front of you.
Search by title or by the evening you want
Look up something specific, or start with a mood when you only know the feeling you are after. The discovery range runs from Safe to Uncharted; hard limits can exclude horror or apply a rating ceiling.
Continue in your streaming service
The play action opens the provider’s link. The provider decides whether its app or website opens, and you still need the appropriate subscription. Full movies and episodes do not play inside Flick: What to Watch Next.
Privacy and data
A watchlist without another account
Your preferences, swipes, saved titles, Tonight queue and recent searches stay in the app’s local database. There is no app account or cloud sync.
Title searches, filter parameters and region are sent to TMDB to retrieve metadata and availability. Posters load from TMDB; opening a streaming link connects you to that provider. Optional tips are processed by Apple.

Why I built Flick: What to Watch Next
‘Flick: What to Watch Next’ came from a very specific stage of parenting: when getting the kids to bed meant we had approximately one tiny window of freedom before we passed out too.
We finally had time to watch something… but then spent half of it scrolling through movies and shows, clicking into titles, reading descriptions, backing out, and starting over.
By the time we picked something, one of us was usually already falling asleep — and that was me, 100% of the time.
So I built ‘Flick: What to Watch Next’ to make choosing something feel a lot faster and a little more fun. And if you’ve ever used Tinder, the swiping will feel very familiar — right if you’re interested, left if you’re definitely not.
No endless lists. No opening twenty different titles just to read what they’re about. Just swipe through, save what looks good, and actually get to the part where you watch something.
Because when you finally have a free evening, you shouldn’t spend half of it choosing the entertainment.
FAQ
What is Flick: What to Watch Next?
Flick: What to Watch Next is a free iPhone app for discovering movies and TV shows, saving a watchlist and choosing what to watch through your streaming services.
How do I change my streaming services?
You tab → Services (the screen is headed "What you pay for"). The deck only shows titles available on services you've selected.
How do I hide horror, or cap ratings?
You tab → Hard limits ("Narrow the deck"). You can skip the Horror genre entirely and set a US rating ceiling (PG-13/TV-14 or PG/TV-PG). Note: while a ceiling is set, titles without a US rating are hidden — TV especially, since fewer shows carry one.
Why does a title say "Not currently streaming"?
Availability comes from TMDB/JustWatch for your region and covers subscription streaming on the eight supported services. Rentals and purchases aren't shown.
Play opened the service's website, not its app.
Flick: What to Watch Next hands off over the web. If the service's app claims that link, your phone opens the app instead — that part is up to the service.
What do tips unlock?
Nothing — and that's the point. From the app itself: "Tips are optional and unlock nothing. Everything in Flick: What to Watch Next is free, forever, whether you tip or not." Tips are one-time thank-yous processed by Apple; they are not restorable purchases because nothing is granted.
How does a title get marked Watched?
Only when you confirm. After a handoff, Flick: What to Watch Next asks whether you watched it — it never assumes.
How do I start over completely?
Delete and reinstall the app. All data is stored locally on your device, so deleting the app deletes everything.
Movie night
Set the scene.
Flick: What to Watch Next handles the hardest part — deciding. The rest of a great movie night is the room it happens in. This is the gear list: things I think earn their place on the couch, the wall, and the coffee table. Links go to Amazon.
