One at a time
A single full-screen card. No grid, no rows, no “because you watched”. The choice is take it or see the next one.
iOS · in development
Hunch shows you one thing to watch — never a feed. Swipe left for the next idea, right to open it on the service you already pay for. Most nights, the decision takes under a minute.
How it works
Pick your country and the services you actually subscribe to. Every suggestion after that is something you can press play on right now — no “available on 7 platforms you don’t have”.
A quick round of ten seeds your taste profile. Genres, era, runtime. It takes about thirty seconds and you never have to do it again.
Open the app, optionally say the mood in plain words, and take the pick. Swipe left if it’s wrong — the next one is already better calibrated.
Features
A single full-screen card. No grid, no rows, no “because you watched”. The choice is take it or see the next one.
Every pass and every play nudges genre weights, preferred era, and runtime. Twenty swipes in, the picks are visibly yours.
Availability is checked against your services in your country, so nothing suggested sits behind a rental paywall.
“Something funny but not stupid, under 90 minutes.” Parsed on-device by Apple Intelligence into a filter that reshapes the pick.
Each suggestion comes with a single generated line explaining the hunch. Written on your phone, never sent anywhere.
“Pick me something for tonight.” The top suggestion comes back without unlocking into the app at all.
Privacy
There is no login, because there is no server that knows who you are. Swipes, weights, and mood text are stored locally and processed by on-device models. The only network call Hunch makes is an anonymous request for what’s streaming in your country — no identifier attached.
FAQ
No. Watchlists are where good intentions go to die. Hunch is for deciding tonight — if you pass on something, it just comes back another night when it fits better.
Anything with flat-rate streaming in your country: Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, Hulu, and dozens of regional services. You pick yours in settings.
Everything still works. Mood becomes a set of chips instead of free text, and picks come without the generated one-liner. Nothing is gated behind a newer phone.
After the first launch, yes. Candidates are cached on device, and scoring runs locally, so a flaky connection doesn’t stop you getting a pick.
Nothing. Hunch is a portfolio project — no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no plan to add any.
Hunch is in development for iOS. Leave your details and you’ll get a TestFlight invite when the first build goes out — nothing else, ever.
