Not genre. Not ratings. Your taste mapped across 24 emotional dimensions — and matched to every film ever made.
Other apps treat films as items in a catalogue. You rate them out of five and stack the numbers. The numbers don't say much.
Cineaste treats films as rooms you walked through. We map them across 24 dimensions of feeling — atmosphere, emotion, image — and over time, we draw a shape called your DNA.
Your profile is public by default so others can find you — but every detail is yours to control. When you choose to compare, the people who match — really match — find you back. Taste twins, not algorithm twins.
A film, a star count, a sentence on what stayed with you. That's it. No essays unless you want them.
Each log is decoded across 24 dimensions: melancholic, neon-noir, dreamlike, painterly, surreal. Your DNA builds with every entry — silently, slowly.
Tonight's picks come from your DNA, not last month's charts. Taste twins appear when you choose to compare. Your For You feed is yours alone.
Match is not an overlap of titles — it's a cosine similarity between your DNA and theirs across 24 dimensions. Someone who's seen different films but feels them in your way can match 93%.
Your profile leads with your DNA, then the films you've logged, the lists you've made, and what you wrote last. Make it private anytime.
Tell us your email and — if you want — the three films you'd put on a shelf called "me, at my most me". We use them to seed your DNA so the first session isn't empty.
No spam. No reviews you didn't ask for.
