I built **Theater**, an AI-powered movie and TV tracker. I wanted it to feel different from typical tracking apps that look boring and collect user data.

Theater has no central servers. Your data stays on your device, and you can use your own free GROQ AI key for AI features (Optional). If you want and really trust the Google then you can sync your personal Google Drive, but you can anytime export your entire data in a CSV file.

The app is designed like the OTT apps to avoid the boring spreadsheet kinda UI, There will be no ads or subscriptions EVER, coz you are using your own free GROQ AI if u want AI features and utilize your own daily free quotas. And I used my TMDB free tier key inside app and also if that key terminated or reached limit, there is a option that user can also connect their own TMDB free account. So there is nothing to stop you from using the app.

It launched with 3,000+ pre-registrations globally and is available in 17 languages (App can support 17 languages including TMDB data and AI responses).

I'd love to hear your thoughts on serverless apps and the bring-your-own-key approach. If Theater sounds interesting, check it out and let me know what you think!

MY HARD JOURNEY:  
I spent almost 1 year creating this app started at 2025 where AI is not strong to assist. So I started coding by myself without AI. Then at the starting of 2026 I used AI for only logics not UI, but with only FREE AIs like cursor & Antigravity, so think of the pain of using free AI to get our work done.  
But I can proudly say that every single line of UI is handcrafted without AI coz no AI could mimic my Figma design so I designed the entire app without AI but used AI in most of the logic codes (Half of the app since I started using AI in 2026).

Please take a look at my Theater App and  give your feedbacks.

Thanks.
