Hi everyone — I'm Oleksii, an independent developer from Ukraine, and Zyrk is mine. Before our two kids arrived, my wife and I watched a film almost every evening. We routinely spent half an hour choosing one: open one app, read three synopses, open another app, close everything, go to bed. Now film nights are rare, and I did not want to spend them scrolling. So Zyrk does one thing. Shake the phone — or tap the ball, if shaking your phone in public is not your style — and it pulls out one film from the 1,000 best-rated on TMDB: title, year, genre, rating. Open it for the synopsis, the director, the cast and the services that carry it in your country, whether by subscription, rental or purchase. Not tonight? Shake again. A film the ball has already shown never comes back. What it does not do: claim to know your taste. Marking a film "Good pick" or "Nope" tilts later shakes towards genres you seem to enjoy, and that is the whole of the cleverness for now. No feed, no lists, no watchlist, no Swiss Army knife. It is free: no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no account. Your history stays on the device, and anonymous analytics only run if you agree on first launch — you can switch them off later. English and Ukrainian. iPhone, iOS 17 and up. Two things I would like your opinion on. First: does the "where to watch" block show the right services for your country? Second: how would you make the picks smarter without turning this into yet another app full of lists and filters? Happy to answer anything in the comments today.

One shake, one film. No endless scrolling.
