How FlixKeep works

1. You build a Movie DNA

As you react to films — the ones you love, the ones you don't — FlixKeep assembles your Movie DNA: your DNA type, your core traits, and the films that define you. It's a picture of your taste as an identity.

2. Recommendations come from who you are

Every pick traces back to your DNA. Instead of “others who watched this also watched,” FlixKeep asks “does this fit who you are?” — matching the tones, themes, and feelings that define your taste.

That's why a FlixKeep recommendation can surface something off the beaten path and still feel unmistakably yours.

3. It evolves with you

Your taste isn't frozen, so your DNA isn't either. As it shifts, your recommendations move with it — a process FlixKeep calls DNA Evolution.

Frequently asked

What is Movie DNA?

Movie DNA is your personal taste profile on FlixKeep — the tones, themes, and feelings you're consistently drawn to, summarized as a named identity plus a set of core traits. It's the basis for recommendations that fit who you are, not just what you watched.

How does FlixKeep work?

FlixKeep reads your taste as a Movie DNA and recommends films that match who you are. Netflix recommends because you watched; Letterboxd because people liked; FlixKeep because of who you are.

Can Movie DNA change?

Yes. Movie DNA isn't fixed. As you watch and react to films, your taste shifts and your DNA evolves — FlixKeep calls this DNA Evolution and shows how your identity changes over time.

What is DNA Evolution?

DNA Evolution is the way FlixKeep tracks how your Movie DNA changes over time — the eras your taste moves through, and how your recommendations grow with you.

Why did this movie get recommended?

Because it fits your Movie DNA — it shares the tones, themes, or feelings that define your taste. FlixKeep recommends based on who you are rather than raw watch history or what's trending.
