What it does
Built for the ten minutes before the film.
02
Watch the trailer first.
Never commit to a two-hour film on the strength of a poster. Play the trailer without leaving the app, then decide.
03
Know where it's streaming.
See which services actually carry a title in your region, so you find out before you get invested rather than after.
Before you get invested, not after.
04
Search that narrows.
Search by title or by person, then filter by how long you've actually got: under 90 minutes, a single season, or a series you can settle into.
05
Follow the people.
Tap any actor or director to see their photo, their story, and everything they've been in. One good film becomes an evening's worth of ideas.
One good film, an evening of ideas.
06
Keep a list that's yours.
Save anything to your watchlist, split it into custom lists, and tick things off as you watch them. It lives on your device and nowhere else.
How it works
How an evening goes.
-
See what's worth your evening.
The home screen opens on a full-bleed look at what's trending, with the rating, year, genre, and streaming badges right there. Swipe through the picks or scroll to browse by genre when you only know the mood you're in.
-
Get the whole picture in one screen.
Open any title for the rating, runtime, genres, cast, who directed it, and where you can stream it, plus similar titles when it isn't quite right.
-
Save it for later, sorted your way.
Add anything to your watchlist with one tap. Split it into custom lists, sort by rating, year, or title, and mark things watched as you go.
-
Be there on release day.

Privacy
Private because there's nothing to collect.
No account
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing about you stored on our servers. No email, no password, no profile.
Your list stays on your device
Watchlist, custom lists, watched marks, recent searches, release reminders and cached artwork all live on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing syncs. Delete the app and it goes with it.
What does leave your device
Requests to TMDB for titles, artwork and search, and to YouTube when you choose to play a trailer. That's all.
FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Is Tonight really free?
Yes. There is no paid tier, no subscription and no in-app purchase.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Download it, open it, and start browsing.
Where does the film and TV information come from?
From The Movie Database (TMDB): titles, artwork, cast and crew, ratings and release dates. Streaming availability comes via JustWatch, is indicative only, and depends on your region.
Can I watch films inside Tonight?
No. Tonight is for deciding. It tells you where a title is streaming; the watching happens on that service.
Does my watchlist sync between my iPhone and my iPad?
No. Your list is stored only on the device where you made it. Deleting the app deletes the list with it.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad, running iOS 26 or later.
Where do I get it?
From the App Store, free.
From the studio
Why we built it.
You know the evening. Dinner is done, the sofa is calling, and somebody asks the four words that end more nights than any bad film: what should we watch. Half an hour later you're still scrolling, three trailers deep, and the mood has quietly gone.
We built Tonight for that gap. Open it, see what's good, play the trailer, find out where it's streaming, and either press play or put it on the list for another night. Then close it. It isn't meant to keep you; it's meant to hand you over to the film.
We're Rhine Bird, a studio in Ras Al Khaimah. We also make Basket Case, a shared-lists app. If you have a question or a thought about Tonight, write to support@rhinebird.com. A person reads it.
Your evening, decided.
Ten minutes to choose, then the film. Tonight is free on the App Store.
