Hi Product Hunt, we're Brian & Krystal, and we founded Lights Down.

On movie nights, we never knew where to start, so we usually defaulted to Krystal's picks. In April I started building Lights Down to fix that for us.

It helps you pick what to watch tonight, on your own or with one other person. About a minute of swiping (fifteen films, like it or skip it) learns your taste and ends with which of twelve Cinematic Archetypes™ you are. Then pick a mood and you get a short list of movies and series from the streaming services you already pay for.

Watching with someone? Most movie pickers make you both swipe blindly and hope for a match. Lights Down blends your taste and theirs into one list for tonight. You each use your own phone, vote In, Maybe or Out on the shortlist, and land on one film together.

It reads exports from Letterboxd, IMDb, Trakt, Netflix or TV Time, so films you've seen stay out of your picks. Everything you need to pick tonight's movie is free, with no ads. Cinema is the optional paid layer: a weekly email of new releases that fit your taste, a heads-up before a saved film leaves your services, and a look back at what you watched every quarter, and many more features. Every new account gets 7 days of it free, with no card needed.

Lights Down gets better at picking for you with every movie night, so give it a few nights and tell us how it's going.
