You sit down for movie night. Someone opens Netflix. Twenty minutes later, everyone is still saying “nah, not that one”. 😂
I’m building Synema, a mobile app that turns choosing a movie together into a quick swipe session.
The idea is simple:
- Create a room and invite your partner or friends.
- Everyone swipes through movies on their own phone.
- When everyone likes the same movie, you get a match. 🍿
The UX decision I keep coming back to
One person holding the remote makes the whole process serial: suggest a movie, ask everyone, reject it, repeat. Synema lets everyone make those decisions independently.
Likes stay private until there’s a match. That matters because I want people to choose what they actually want to watch, without following whoever speaks first.
I also want the match to feel rewarding without becoming a dead end. Finding one movie everyone likes shouldn’t stop you from exploring a few more options together.
The design goal is to make this feel like a small, casual game: movie artwork, simple choices, and as little interface clutter as possible.
Where it’s at
Synema hasn’t launched yet. The landing page has app screenshots and a waitlist for a launch notification.

Would you use this with a partner or a group of friends? And what usually derails movie night for you: too many choices, different tastes, or finding something on a service everyone has?
I’m the developer, and I’d love some honest feedback before launch 🙂
