A movies + TV decision engine
What to watch tonight, grounded in your own taste.
klieg is for people who watch enough to be picky. Track what you’ve seen, log what stood out, get answers in seconds — built around your taste, not the algorithm’s.
Free forever for tracking and lists. AI recommendations capped, never paywalled outright.
The Netflix homepage isn’t the problem. The problem is that nothing on it knows you have a thing for late-period Soderbergh and can’t handle another murder mystery this month.
klieg learns what actually lands for you — the films you’ve rewatched three times, the directors you trust, the notes you scribbled at midnight — and uses that to answer one question well: what should I put on right now?
How it works
Three things, done well.
Log what you’ve watched.
Films, TV, rewatches, partial watches, dates and notes. Imports from Letterboxd or IMDb in one go. Your diary is the source of truth — and yours to keep.
Get a real recommendation in seconds.
Describe a mood — “something short and funny for tonight” — and klieg weighs it against everything you’ve told it. No infinite scroll. No genre carousels.
Find what you’d miss otherwise.
A ‘coming soon’ you’ll actually care about. Directors you love, films you haven’t seen. Lists you can share, fork, and watch with friends.
An actual pick
Not a list of 50. One film, with a reason.
The reasoning quotes your own diary back to you — the films you rewatched, the directors you trust, the moods you logged at midnight. If a pick doesn’t fit, one tap refines it without starting over.
Looking for: something slow and beautiful for tonight
In the Mood for Love
2000 · 1h 38m · drama / romance
You’ve rewatched Drive and Lost in Translation— this hits the same wavelength. Quiet, atmospheric, takes its time. Wong Kar-wai you haven’t logged before.
What’s different
Built around your taste — not a category page.
It learns from what you actually watch
Every log, rating, note, and rewatch sharpens the signal. After a fortnight it knows the difference between a Tuesday-night you and a Sunday-afternoon you.
Group recommendations that actually work
Two friends, both signed in, both with taste profiles. klieg finds the overlap. Date-night, no compromise.
Honest about its blind spots
Klieg tells you when it isn’t sure, or when a pick is a stretch. No fake confidence. No five-star inflation.
Your data is yours
Export your diary as JSON or CSV any time. Cancel and take it with you. No vendor lock-in by design.
