Watch the same film,
three thousand miles apart.
Long-distance movie nights almost always break at the same step: deciding. Different catalogues, different services, one of you tired, the other one scrolling. Miru gives both of you the same short deck on your phones. Match in two minutes. Then you each press play.
Two countries. One deck.
Miru already knows both your countries and what's available in each. When you start a session, the deck filters down to films you can both actually press play on tonight.
-
1
Open a session on your phone
Pick the streaming services you both have. The deck filters to the overlap.
-
2
Send the six-character code
Through whatever you already use — text, voice call, the app you're calling on right now.
-
3
Both swipe, in your own time
If they're not up yet, leave it. The session waits 24 hours. The flame ticks up when you both said yes to the same one.

Press play on your own sofa
Pick from your matches, agree on a film, hit play. Miru doesn't try to sync your screens — fewer things to break.
The hardest part of long distance isn't watching the same film. It's agreeing on one.
Watch-party apps try to be Netflix and FaceTime at the same time, and usually drop both. Miru is small on purpose. It solves one piece of the problem — the picking — and stays out of the way for the rest. You already have the call running. You already have the streaming subscriptions. Miru is just the bit in the middle.
"We used to spend half the call going 'so what do you want to watch.' Now we open Miru, swipe for two minutes, and have something on by minute three." — Beta user, Toronto / Singapore
The honest answers.
Does Miru sync playback between us?
No. We don't try to be a watch-party app. We end the picking; you press play separately. Honestly, sync apps fight with DRM and break in interesting ways. We'd rather do one thing properly.
We're in different countries with different catalogues.
Miru intersects them. If a film is only on US Netflix but you're in Tokyo, it won't show up as available for both of you. You won't pick something one of you can't actually watch.
We're on different streaming services.
Pick the services you both have when you set up the session. If there's no overlap, you'll see that straight away.
How long do we have to finish a session?
24 hours. Plenty for time zones — start it before bed in London, your partner finishes it after breakfast in Sydney.
Can we save matches for later?
Yes. Everything you both said yes to lives in your match history. Useful for planning the next call.
Stop deciding. Start watching.
Free. Cross-country. Cross-time-zone.
