Inspiration

The inspiration comes from our own experience of watching shows with our partners. We feel frustrated when waiting for our next "movie night", and even more guilty when secretly watching ahead without them. Therefore, we built this app as a personal bodyguard against streaming infidelity.

What it does?

Targets co-living couples using the same device watching shows together.
Builds mutual trust by acting as a tool to minimise temptation by respecting each other’s boundaries.
Negotiates watch times by coordinating your times preferences using Unbinge, so no one falls behind and everyone is happy.

Challenges we ran into

There is a lack of resources to conduct secondary research as this scope of study is relatively narrow. Instead of building the research based on academic papers, finding are based on online newspapers and magazines, which could be less reliable than published journals.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The concept. It is relatable to many. We are passionate about saving relationships.
