Matinee

A watch-later queue, curated by you instead of the algorithm — YouTube channels, Raindrop bookmarks, and any link you share, in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Matinee is an iOS and tvOS app that holds the videos you said you'd watch later — channels you follow on YouTube, bookmarks you save in Raindrop, and anything you send through the share sheet. The queue stays in sync across your devices through your own iCloud, and more sources are on the way. Built in SwiftUI with SwiftData and CloudKit, it ships without servers of its own or third-party tracking.

Highlights

  • →Pulls in YouTube channels via RSS (no YouTube account required), Raindrop.io collections (with optional #watched tag write-back), and manual additions from the iOS share sheet.
  • →Keeps the queue, source list, and watched state in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV through your own iCloud private database — nothing passes through a Matinee server.
  • →Designed natively for each platform: keyboard shortcuts and multi-window on iPad, focus-engine grid and long-press actions on Apple TV, share extension on iOS.
  • →No third-party analytics, no advertising SDKs, no IDFA.
