Faro: Film Picks

Stop scrolling. Start watching. Faro turns the films you've rated into tonight's shortlist. No ads, no sponsored picks. One tap to a film, for you or the whole sofa.

Deciding what to watch shouldn't take longer than the opening scene.

Faro gives you tonight's shortlist in about a minute. Set any filters tonight needs — only what's on the services you already have, under two hours, something funny — or none at all, and it hands you a small set of films drawn from your own taste. Pick one, lock it in and press play.

HOW IT WORKS Rate the films you've seen — two taps each, from "Not for me" to "Loved". The only thing Faro reads about you is those ratings. No trending charts, no engagement tricks, no "users also watched". The more you rate, the better it gets, and it works from your first minute, before you've rated much at all.

WHAT MAKES FARO DIFFERENT

• Search everything or just your services. Every streamer, every region — one tap to search only what you can actually press play on. Filters hold: match all of your picks or any of them. If nothing fits, Faro says so and asks before relaxing anything.
• A shortlist for tonight. Collect candidates, lock one in and get to the film.
• Your Letterboxd history, in one step. Import your ratings on your phone — the file is read on the phone itself.
• Rewatches respected. Comfort viewing when you want it, without old favourites hijacking discovery.
• Choose together. Add friends by @username and search everyone's tastes at once — or start a Watch Party: one list for the whole group, everyone adds, everyone reacts and the pick gets easier.
• Two looks. Golden Hour by day, Midnight at night, following whatever your phone is set to.
• Do your homework. Trailers, a deep clip library, cast and where to watch — one page per film.
• No ads, ever. No tracking, no feed, and your first set of picks needs no account. Made by one person.

Where to watch is shown for your streaming services, along with cinema listings.

WHO MAKES FARO One person. I built Faro because choosing what to watch was eating the best hour of my evening. I wanted an app on my own phone that worked from my taste and nothing else. If something's broken or brilliant, tell me — Support in the You tab comes straight to me.
