About PickBeacon
PickBeacon helps you find a great film fast. Pick your vibe (genre, runtime, language, where to watch) and we surface a strong match from TMDB — no login required. Mark titles as Watched and we’ll avoid recommending them again on this device.
How it works
- No account: All preferences, Watched, Favorites live locally only.
- Strict filters: Genre, Country/Providers, Release window buckets, Keyword theme, single Actor, single Director, exclude titles — no hidden broadening.
- Smart pagination: Deeper TMDB pages are fetched automatically when people filters or older windows are used.
- One pick focus: We surface one validated result (availability, people, exclusions) and prefetch a potential next.
- Watched shield: Marking Watched hides future repeats (recent slice of IDs sent for performance).
- Surprise Me: Fully random popular title (Type only) ignoring other filters.
Why you’ll like it
- Simple, clean, and fast.
- Beautiful dark UI with clear actions.
- Respects your time and privacy.
