Ritual
Seal tonight
Draw a citation with tonight’s filters and source. Together handshake first. Search on Ritual answers rules — not a movie player.
- Taste: audience, mood, runtime, intensity
- Source: Shelf or TMDb (English queries)
Citation only · never playback
Tonight’s Ritual.
Seal one title.
A cinema-dark companion for choosing what to watch — not a player. Set Intent and Method, Seal a citation from Shelf or TMDb, then keep the night in Chronicle and Archive. No login is required.

Ritual
Six combinations. One Seal.
Intent is Solo, Together, or Surprise. Method is Pick one or Browse three. Taste filters live in Ritual setup — they feed Seal, they do not send alerts.
01
Intent
Solo, Together, or Surprise
02
Method
Pick one, or browse three
03
Handshake
Together waits for two sliders
04
Seal
A receipt. Still no playback.
The app
Four tabs. One night.
The names match the tab bar.
Shelf
Your candidates
A local list. Add by hand or cite TMDb, then tag why it belongs. When source is Shelf, Seal draws from this pool.
- TMDb is reference and poster, not a stream
- Handwritten titles stay on device
Chronicle
The night, written
Voice notes and a watch log around a cited title. The mic is only for recording; transcription stays on device.
- Live Notes with timestamps
- Watch log after the film
Archive
Receipts
Every Seal writes a receipt. Filter, mark watched, share, or export. The film still lives on your player — not inside Sharkcine.
- History you can actually read
- Export JSON from Archive
A player would break the promise.
Sharkcine never streams the film. Seal writes a citation and a receipt. You open the movie where you already watch.
Together is two people, one handshake, then Seal. Handshake sliders follow Ritual setup so taste knobs stay one system.
Less scrolling. One seal.
Run tonight’s Ritual in under a minute — then watch elsewhere.
