Rewind - Find & Collect VHS

Photograph VHS tapes at the thrift store and find out which ones are worth grabbing. The app identifies titles, then five taste profiles judge every tape at once: YES, MAYBE, or NO, each with reasoning you can actually read. Your collection stays with you. The app remembers what you own and what you're hunting for.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Take up to five photos of VHS tapes (spines, covers, stacks)
2. Five taste profiles judge every tape at once, each looking for something different
3. Every tape gets a clear verdict with written reasoning
4. Add the ones you want to your collection or want list
5. The app catches tapes you already own and flags ones on your want list automatically.

FIVE TASTE PROFILES One cares about action. Another cares about horror. A third is looking for SOV and bootlegged tapes. They don't always agree, and even when they do, the reasons are different. That's the point.

Bruiser: Action movies with stunts, fights, and explosions. The louder, the better. Sicko: Anything that belongs on the horror shelf. Slashers, creature features, banned and censored stuff. Chrome: Robots, hackers, virtual reality, dystopian tech. Futures imagined before the internet existed. Zealot: Movies with obsessive followings that the mainstream ignored. Devotion over quality. Weirdo: SOV, outsider media, subcultural tapes. Made by weirdos for weirdos.

Bloodsport gets a YES from Bruiser ("peak Cannon Films action, tournament structure, Van Damme doing the splits"), a YES from Zealot ("endlessly quotable, massive following"), and a MAYBE from Sicko ("not horror, but the tournament has slasher energy").

ADD YOUR OWN The five taste profiles work out of the box, no setup needed. Want one that thinks like you? Pick some favorite movies from a poster grid, skip genres you don't care about, and the app builds a sixth taste profile based on what you pick, with its own name and five weekly picks. Wrong call? Change it. Your profile learns.

45,000 VHS TITLES Posters, descriptions, release years, genres, and rarity info. Searchable offline.

YOUR COLLECTION Track what you own and what you're hunting for. No more accidentally buying something you already have.

TWENTY-FIVE PICKS EVERY MONDAY Each taste profile picks five tapes for you every week. Stuff you'd walk right past on your own. One tap adds any pick to your want list. Add your own taste profile and it picks five more each week.

NO ACCOUNT. NO SETUP. Open the app and scan. No login, no sign-up, no configuration. Queue up scans and keep browsing. Results are ready when you are. Your collection, want list, and scan history stay on your phone and carry forward between scans.

Built by a collector who got tired of Googling every tape at Goodwill.
