Cross-Platform Watch History Recommender

Ingest your own Netflix, Prime, Disney+ viewing exports to get recommendations beyond one catalog

Problem
Streaming apps only recommend from their own catalog and only know what you watched on their service. Some viewers resort to manually wrangling GDPR data exports from Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, and Max plus Plex plays just to assemble a complete watch history.
Solution
A local-first tool where users upload GDPR viewing-history exports, match titles against TMDB, and build a taste profile that powers cross-platform recommendations for things they have not seen yet. Users can mark loved/disliked titles to refine results.
Users
Heavy viewers who subscribe to multiple streaming services, habitually export their data, and are frustrated by siloed algorithms
MVP
Upload Netflix/Prime/Disney+/Max GDPR export files; match titles via TMDB; generate a taste profile from loved titles; output cross-platform recommendation list; no streaming logins or scraping.
Revenue
Free basic tier; subscription for unlimited history imports and exportable recommendation lists
Why now
Streaming fragmentation keeps growing while GDPR data exports finally let users legally reclaim their own viewing history
