The whole shape of it

Three steps. Then you're watching for two.

1

Pick your films

Add the four or five you'd defend to anyone. That's your profile. No essay required.

2

Match on taste

Like the people whose reel speaks to you. When it's mutual, you can talk.

3

Meet over movies

Open with what you'd watch together, not "hey." The conversation is already there.

Why this exists

Every other app made you a headshot.

The old way

Swipe on faces

Six selfies and a prompt about tacos. You learn nothing about who you'd actually spend a Sunday with.

ReelMates

Match on taste

Someone's four favorite films tell you the mood they live in. Start there, and the first message writes itself.

Questions

The honest answers.

How is this different from Hinge or Tinder? +

Those lead with photos and one-liners. ReelMates leads with your films. You match on the thing you'd actually bond over, so the first conversation isn't small talk.

Is it free? +

Yes. Joining, building a profile, matching and messaging are free. If we add a premium tier later it'll be for extras like boosts, never for the basics.

Do I need a photo? +

No. A clear photo gets you far more replies, but you can join with just your films and add one whenever you like.

I'm on Letterboxd. Can I use that? +

Add your Letterboxd link to your profile so people can dig into your taste. You don't need it to match, though — pick your favorites right here.

Who sees my email? +

No one. We use it only to send your one-tap login link. It's never shown on your profile or shared.
