Become a sponsor to Victor Hugo

Building a Privacy-First Media Universe

Hi, I'm Victor Hugo. I’m the developer behind cinematique, a local-first, privacy-respecting movie and TV tracker.

In an era of constant data harvesting, I believe your watch history and personal tastes should belong to you, not a server. That’s why I’m building cinematique to be smart and sleek, but most importantly, fully under your control.

Why cinematique?

Most trackers require accounts, cloud syncing, and data sharing just to keep a list of what you've seen. cinematique changes that by focusing on:

• Local-First Architecture: Your data stays on your device.
• Privacy by Design: No intrusive tracking or forced accounts.
• Community Powered: Built using TMDB data and enhanced with optional, thoughtful AI features.

Why your sponsorship matters

Independent development allows me to prioritize user experience and privacy over monetization and data mining. By sponsoring my work, you are directly supporting:

1. Sustainable Development: Helping cover the costs of APIs, development tools, and the time required to maintain a high-quality codebase.
2. Open Features: Keeping the core tracking experience free and accessible to everyone.
3. Privacy Advocacy: Proving that we can build great, feature-rich apps without sacrificing user privacy.

The Roadmap

Sponsorship helps me accelerate features like advanced data exports, deeper community integrations, and refining the cinematique to be as helpful and private as possible.

If you value software that respects your digital autonomy, I’d be honored to have your support. Let's build a better way to track the stories we love.
