A private watchlist app, with no account and no feed
Somewhere along the way, keeping a list of movies became a social activity. The big trackers want a username, a follow graph, reviews from strangers, and a feed between you and your own watchlist. Sometimes you just want the list: what you meant to watch, visible to exactly one person.
Private is not a mode to toggle; it is an architecture. Here is what a genuinely private watchlist looks like, and how UnMiss is built that way.
What private actually means
No account means there is no identity to leak: nothing to sign up for, no email in a database, no password to reuse. On-device means the list itself lives on your iPhone, not on a server where "private" is a checkbox someone else administers. UnMiss adds an optional backup, but to your own iCloud, readable by your Apple account and nobody else.
No feed matters for a quieter reason: a watchlist app with a feed is one more app that wants your evening. The only social gesture UnMiss keeps is the exit: an Open on Instagram or Open on TikTok link on each saved item, pointing back to where you found it. The app is a shelf, and shelves do not scroll.
A private list that still fills itself
Save from anywhere, sign in nowhere
Share a reel, TikTok or screenshot to UnMiss from the share sheet. The first save works like the hundredth: no onboarding gauntlet, no account creation.
Keep notes only you will read
Each film, series or book carries a note field with no audience. "Looked terrifying, watch with G" is not a review; it is a message to yourself, which is the point.
Back up on your own terms
Turn on iCloud backup if you want the shelf to survive a lost phone. It writes to your private iCloud storage; there is no UnMiss cloud to trust.
Questions
If there is no account, what happens when I change iPhones?
That is what the iCloud backup is for: your new phone restores the shelf from your own iCloud. No account needed, because Apple’s identity is already yours.
Can anyone see what I have saved?
No one. There are no profiles, no followers and no sharing features; the list exists on your device and, if you enable backup, in your private iCloud. Watch your trash in peace.
Do the posts I share get uploaded somewhere?
The shared link and its public preview are used to identify the title, and minimal usage counts keep fair-use limits working; no profile is built from what you watch. The privacy policy spells it out in plain language.
