The Complete Cinema Experience, at Home.

One Row Home Cinema recreates the magic of a cinema in your own front room. Keep a library of what you can actually watch, book a showing, get a ticket, pick seats and snacks, then rate it and keep the stub.

Cinema is more than just the film.

A complete library

Build a complete library from wherever your favourite films live: a media server, physical media, streaming services, or any custom location. Search pulls posters, cast and runtime automatically.

Book a showing

Pick a date and time, choose your seat, order the snacks, and say who's coming. Two bookings can't overlap, because there's only one screen.

Everyone gets a seat

Set out your room the way it really is: rows, a sofa, a beanbag on the floor. Everyone picks their own seat on their own phone.

Keep the ticket

Every booking is a ticket stub you can flip over and write on the back of. Save it to Photos, or send it to whoever's coming.

Invite people without the app

Type a guest's name and send them their ticket. They get a web page with the stub and an "Add to Calendar" button. No app, no account.

Shared access

Share your library with your household so they can view films, make bookings and leave reviews. Everyone sees the same library, bookings and wishlist, synced over iCloud.

Press play from the app

Connect a Plex, Jellyfin or Emby server and start the film on your TV without picking up another remote.

What you've actually watched

Hours watched, average rating, which genres you keep coming back to, and which night of the week you really watch films on.


User guide

How every part of the app works, from adding your first film to sharing your library.

Changelog

What changed in each release, and anything you need to know before updating.

Privacy policy

Short version: there's no server, no account, and no analytics. Your data stays in your iCloud.


Currently in beta

The app is being tested through Apple's TestFlight before it goes on the App Store. Testers get every build as it ships, and telling me what's broken is the entire point.
