CouchVote
The couch consensus engine for movie night.
Stop scrolling. Run a quick, fair, timed vote — and actually press play before the popcorn gets cold.
Free to try at launch · One device, the whole couch
Designed for the living room
Built around how movie night actually happens — a small group, one screen, and a few minutes before someone gets up to make tea.
Timed cards, no stalling
A small, time-boxed deck per round. The clock auto-skips indecisive voters so nobody hijacks the night.
Built for the couch
One device, passed around like a remote. No lobbies, no QR codes, no group-chat polls — just play.
Hard vetoes, respected
Set non-negotiables — no horror, no 3-hour epics, no rewatches — at the couch, context, or session level.
Smart, fresh decks
Recommendations are precomputed and diversified so you don't see the same five movies every Friday.
No ads, no tracking SDKs
No third-party advertising, no analytics on your votes, no selling your data. Ever.
Where to watch it
Every winner card shows poster, overview, ratings, and the streaming providers carrying it.
From scroll to play in three steps
No accounts. No lobbies. No group-chat polls. Just open the app and start the night.
Set the table
Open CouchVote, pick a context (date night, family, friends), and set quick rules — runtime, vetoes, what's worth your evening.
Vote in 5 minutes
Pass the device. Each person swipes through a small, timed deck of cards. Auto-skip means nobody can stall the night.
Press play
CouchVote tallies votes and surfaces the winner with poster, overview, ratings and where to stream it. Argue later — watch now.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before movie night.
Everyone takes a turn on the same device. CouchVote shows a stack of timed cards — swipe right for yes, left for no, or let the timer auto-skip. After everyone votes, the movie with the highest consensus wins. No 40-minute scroll, no analysis paralysis.
No. The free MVP runs on a single device passed around the couch (or held up like a remote). Multi-device sessions are on the roadmap for premium tiers.
Movie data is synced from TMDB (titles, posters, overviews) with IMDB-style ratings proxied via OMDB. CouchVote shows you what's available, with provider badges so you know where to watch.
Yes. Set hard vetoes (e.g. no horror, no 3-hour epics) at the couch, context, or session level. Hard vetoes are always respected — no override path.
The MVP is free. Premium tiers (multi-device sessions, richer rule engines, deeper personalization) are planned for later and are out of scope for the initial launch.
iOS and Android. The app is built with Flutter so both platforms share the same codebase. It's currently in development — follow this page or email us to be notified at launch.
