Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone film diary that learns from your viewing history, using swipes, two-valued ratings, and visible recommendation logic to build a personal watchlist.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

Match Cut organizes a film diary around three separate decisions: whether a film has been seen, whether the viewer wants to watch it, and what they thought of it. Its stated recommendation system separates similarity from predicted enjoyment, drawing first on directors, writers, and actors before using genres. The catalog also records watch dates and notes, supports decade and genre grouping, and includes an Upcoming list. The homepage says these records stay on the device while film data comes from TMDB.
