FlixMe - Tell us the feeling you're chasing. We'll find the movie.

by
Most apps ask what genre you want, then hand you an endless list. FlixMe starts from the feeling you're chasing: mark it in a quick check-in (under a minute) and it gives you films that deliver that — not a catalog to scroll. Every film shows its emotional profile and where to watch it: streaming, in cinemas now, or acclaimed classics. As you swipe it learns, and you can steer the tone, genre, or re-aim the feeling anytime. No account needed — free on Android, in English and Spanish.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I studied film and I write code. I run a small software studio — fuix.cl — and I build apps and games on the side under sabino.cl. FlixMe is one of those, living right at that film-and-code intersection. The conviction behind it: a movie isn't good or bad in a vacuum — it's good when it meets you where you are. You can bounce off The Godfather Part II because you showed up wanting Adam Sandler, and love a silly comedy that would've felt hollow on another night. Same film, different you. Yet every recommender still sorts by genre, cast, or watch history — never by the feeling you're actually chasing. So FlixMe starts from the feeling. You mark it in a quick check-in — under a minute, built on a map of emotions instead of genres — and it gives you films that deliver that, each with its own emotional profile and where to watch it: streaming, in cinemas now, or an acclaimed classic. The idea sat in a drawer since 2017 — I kept assuming it needed months of work and a budget I didn't have. It also got simpler as I built it: the first version tried to read your current mood and "match" it (there's real psychology to matching vs. shifting an emotion), but people didn't want to report how they felt — they wanted to choose how they want to feel. So it became one promise: tell us the feeling you're chasing, we'll find the movie. It learns as you swipe, and you can steer the tone or re-aim anytime. No account, anonymous by default, free on Android, in English and Spanish. It's still under active development — I'm tuning the recommendations from real usage, so your feedback genuinely shapes what comes next. I'd love your take, especially: does the feeling you pick actually match what you get?
