Is this a Tinder for movies?
Sort of. You each swipe yes or no, but on films from your own watchlist rather than a whole streaming catalogue, and it doesn’t stop at a match. If you both liked several, you rank them and one wins.
For movie night
Tonight’s pick, without the argument.
Make a poll from your watchlist. You both swipe yes or no on the trailers, and SortBridge lands on one film, with where to watch it.
One email when the TestFlight opens, one when it hits the App Store. Nothing else, and no sharing your address: here’s the policy.
Four steps, one film

Pick a few
From your watchlist, or search for any film or show.

Yes or no, alone. Nobody sees anyone else’s answers.
- 4
End on one
Liked several? Rank them. One wins, with where to watch it.
It always ends on one.
A match can still leave you with three. Here, if you both liked several, you each put them in order and ranked choice picks the winner, with where to watch it and a runner-up for next time.
- A trailer and description on every card, so you know what you’re saying yes to.
- Nobody peeks: you see how far the other has got, never their answers.
- Works for a series to start together, too.
Nothing in common? A second chance.
You each see the films the other liked and you passed on: “The other one of you liked this. Would you go along with it?” Often one of you will. If not, the closest you got wins.
Questions
What if we like completely different things?
There is a second chance. The films one of you liked go round again, and the other sees "The other one of you liked this. Would you go along with it?" If still nothing is common, the most liked film wins as the closest you got.
Does it show where to watch it?
Yes. Films and shows show where to stream, rent or buy them in your country, from TMDB and JustWatch data.
Where do the films come from?
Usually your watchlist: the films and shows you saved from TikTok, Instagram and Reddit. You can also search for any title while setting up the poll.
Does my partner need the app?
Yes, for now. Everyone votes in the SortBridge app on iPhone, which is in private testing. Join the waitlist to be told when it opens.
