Why it exists

Shazam named songs from a few seconds of audio. Nothing did the same for video, and comment sections are still full of people asking what a clip is from.

You have seen the clip and nobody in the comments knows what it is. Share it with Find The Title and you get the name of the film or show back.

How it got made.

  1. Idea

    The question under every reposted clip

    Scroll the replies under any clip and someone is asking what it is from. The answer turns up by luck, from a stranger, if it turns up at all.

    We described it in three words: Shazam for video. A phone can name a song in a loud bar. Naming a film from a clip is the same kind of job.

  2. Built

    We reused an app we had already built

    Find The Title has the same shape as Mr. Indecisive, another of our apps. Both do one job. Ask, get an answer fast, one handed, while something else is playing.

    Reusing what already worked is why an app this small was worth building at all.

  3. Live

    Out, doing one thing

    It launched on the Canadian App Store with its own site. It does one thing, and it has to be reliable at that before it earns anything else.
