Pick a film with your partner,
without the fight.
It's 9pm. You're both on the sofa. One of you keeps scrolling, the other keeps saying "whatever you want." Forty minutes later you're watching something neither of you actually chose. Miru ends that part of the evening.
Two minutes. Two phones.
No accounts to wire up, no shared profile, no calendar invite. The whole thing is a session that lives for 24 hours.
-
1
Start a session
Pick the streaming services you both have. Miru hands you a six-character code.
-
2
Send the code
Text, AirDrop, hand them your phone. They tap Join, type the code, they're in.
-
3
Both swipe
Same 20 films, story first. Right for yes, left for next. The flame icon ticks up every time you both said yes to the same one.

4
Pick from the matches
Tap Results. The films you both said yes to are sitting there. Pick one. Press play.
Story first. Poster second.
Each card is the kind of one-paragraph pitch a friend would give you if they trusted your taste. You read it, you decide. The poster, the year, the director — those come after.
The story, told plainly.
Two of you, swiping the same deck.
The films you both said yes to.
Pick small things. Often.
The "what should we watch?" question fails because it's one big decision with no structure. Miru replaces it with twenty small ones, each about a sentence long. By the time you're both done swiping, you've agreed on something without realising you were negotiating.
"We used to spend longer choosing the film than watching it. Now we just open Miru and have something on by the time the kettle boils." — Beta user, Berlin
The honest answers.
Do both of us really need the app?
Yes. Both phones, both swipes. One person opening it on a laptop won't work — the whole point is that you're both saying yes independently. Otherwise it's just one of you picking a film and the other agreeing to be polite.
Does the film need to be on Netflix?
Pick whichever services you both have when you start the session. Miru filters the deck to films available on those, in both your countries. If you and your partner are in different countries, we intersect the catalogues.
What if we hate everything in the deck?
Reshuffle. The catalogue is in the tens of thousands. The deck of 20 is a sample, not the whole shop.
Is it free?
Yes. No ads, no paywall, no premium tier. We may charge for something later but it won't be this.
Can we use it for friends, not just partners?
Yes — any two people with phones. The session doesn't care about your relationship status.
How long does a session last?
The session stays open for 24 hours, so you can start it on the train home and finish on the sofa.
Try it tonight.
Free. Two minutes to a film you both wanted.
