What to watch tonight: let Ask pick
Scrolling through every streaming app is the slow way to pick something. Say what you're in the mood for, get picks from the services you already have, and start one on the TV.

Narrow it down first
Whatever you use to decide, these five questions do most of the work:
- Mood. Something funny, something tense, something you don't have to follow closely.
- Length. A film under two hours, or one episode before bed.
- Who's watching. Alone, as a couple, or with the kids.
- What you loved lately. “Like the one we watched last Friday” is a good start.
- Where. Only the services you already pay for, so you don't land on something you can't play.
Find something with Ask
Ask is the part of Rimokon that finds what to watch. Here's how a night goes.
- 1
Choose your streaming services
Tell Rimokon which services your household has, so the picks are things you can actually play. - 2
Ask in your own words
Describe a mood, a length or a film you loved: “Something funny for tonight, under two hours.” - 3
Check where it streams
Every pick shows where it streams and whether it's included in what you have. - 4
Narrow it down
Tap a follow-up like “something older”, or say what you'd change. - 5
Play it, or save it for later
Open it on the TV with one tap, or put it on a list the household shares for another night.
Keep a list for the nights you can't decide
The easiest evenings start with a list. Save titles when you hear about them, in a watchlist, favourites or lists you name yourself, and share them with the whole household or the people you choose. What you save also shapes what Ask picks next time, and skips the repeats.
Where Rimokon fits
Rimokon puts Ask, your lists and the remote in one app, so a pick goes from your phone to the TV without searching with arrow keys. More about Ask.
Ask uses an AI model and streaming catalogues change, so an answer can be incomplete or out of date. Starting a title on the TV needs a supported TV on the same Wi-Fi as your phone, and whether it opens straight to the title depends on the TV and the streaming app. See which TVs work.
