Vennly
Ends the “what should we watch?” debate. Friends swipe through what's actually on their streaming services; Vennly reveals only the titles everyone wants — with one tap to play.
Modern households juggle multiple streaming services and still spend seven-plus minutes deciding what to watch, with no platform talking to another.
Vennly turns the debate into a game: a familiar swipe interface lets people vote independently on titles available across their services, then instantly reveals the overlap — with deep links that launch straight into Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max.
The paradox of choice, multiplied across services and people.
Decision fatigue
Average users browse 7+ minutes before choosing.
Social friction
Groups rarely align without compromise.
Fragmented discovery
Each streaming platform operates in isolation.
Privacy concerns
People want social features without invasive data collection.
