Available on web, iOS, Android, and Apple TV, it allows members to log, rate, review films, keep a diary of films watched, maintain watchlists, make curated lists, and follow other members’ activity. It has been described as "Goodreads for movies".
The platform has been majority owned by the Canadian investment company Tiny since 2023, while Buchanan and von Randow continue to lead the company as chief executive officer (CEO) and chief technology officer (CTO), respectively.
