Couch Tonight

What are we watching tonight? Couch ends the nightly debate: your whole household rates together, finds the overlap, and presses play. Free. No ads. No paywalls.

Couch turns "what do you want to watch?" into a 30-second ritual everyone on the couch trusts.

Five people, three streaming services, two opinions on tone, one person already half-asleep. "What do you want to watch?" isn't a preference question — it's a coordination puzzle. Couch gives it two answers: vote together when nobody's decided, or drop a pick when one person already has one. Either way, tonight gets decided in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.

TWO WAYS TO COUCH

The Spin — Everyone's home. Nobody's picked.

• Join the couch. Share a code. Everyone shows up.
• Everyone votes. Yes / maybe / no on the night's lineup. Takes 90 seconds.
• Spin decides. One spin, fair pick. Hate it? Veto. The wheel goes again.

The Nomination — One person has a pick. Others decide in.

• Drop your pick. "I'm starting Blade Runner at 9pm."
• Everyone RSVPs. In / maybe / can't. See who's joining in real time.
• Couch calls it. Majority turns it into a watchparty. Everyone gets a heads-up when it's starting.

WHAT'S IN IT

Watchparty — Everyone watches together, even from different rooms or different houses. Reactions in real time. "Wait Up" delays so spoilers stay sealed for whoever's behind. Pick up where you left off. Get caught up automatically.

Couch Groups — Pull members from up to four families into one watchparty. Cross-family identity preserved. No passwords, no signups for guests.

Mood Filter — "Cozy," "action," "short" — narrow tonight's matches to the room you've actually got.

Veto — Anyone can reject a pick. Before the spin (drops it from the pool) or after (re-spin). Fairness rules so the vetoer doesn't control the replacement.

Pick'em — Predict winners on the big games. Per-family leaderboard tracks accuracy across the season. NFL, NBA, NHL, EPL, college basketball, college football, F1 — and more as we add them. Free, no real-money wagering.

Kid Mode — One toggle hides anything above a chosen age tier from tonight's matches. Filters mood, runtime, providers, and ratings.

Decision Explanation — Tap any pick to see exactly why it surfaced. "Mom and Sam said yes - on Hulu - 1h 38m." No black-box recommender.

WHO IT'S FOR

Family — Mixed ages, kid-safe filtering, everyone on the couch tonight. Crew — Friends who pile onto the couch. Film clubs, group chats, scheduled nights. Duo — Just the two of you. Date nights, shared queue, one yes is enough.

WHAT'S NOT IN IT

No ads. No paywalls. No subscriptions. We don't sell, share, or rent your data. We don't track you across other apps. We don't use your photos or messages to train AI.

Couch is a coordination tool, not a streaming service. We help you decide what to watch and show where titles are available. The actual watching happens in your existing apps.

Schedule recurring watchparties for shows you watch on a cadence — Couch creates each session automatically, sends a 30-minute heads-up before showtime, and shows your week ahead in Calendar. Pause, resume, or cancel any series from your Account.
