How it works

Three steps, then you're exploring.

01

Name your seed

Enter any content — a podcast episode, a film, a book, a TV series. Title or URL both work.

02

Pick a mode

More: more of the same vein, across formats. Break: the same idea from a completely different angle.

03

Shape the next pass

Mark what misses, what you have seen, and what feels closer. Akin reshapes the next round around those signals.

More mode
More of what you already know you like

Akin finds films, podcasts, books, and series that share the same DNA as your seed — same tone, same depth, same obsessions.

Seed: Serial (podcast)
→ S.Town · Making a Murderer · The Jinx · Lost Notes 1980 · In The Dark
Break mode
The same idea from a different vantage point

Same core theme, different perspective — geographic, cultural, or ideological. For when you've seen one angle and want to see the thing from the other side.

Seed: Serial (podcast)
→ Crime and Punishment (novel) · Voir (Netflix doc) · The Confession Tapes · 13th

Refine as you go

Shape the next pass

Every selection is signal. Mark a result as a miss, already seen, or closer to what you meant. Saved searches can be tuned again any time.

←
Misses
Not the right thread. Akin avoids this direction in future rounds.
·
Seen
Already consumed. Akin uses it as context, not a repeat.
→
Closer
This has the right feel. Akin follows it into the next pass.

About

Where does the thread go next?

You finish Serial. You want more — but not just another podcast. You want the film that captures the same obsession with truth and unreliable memory. The book that unravels the same kind of small-town America. The documentary that follows a similar thread, but from the other side of the world.

That thing doesn't exist in one place. Content is siloed by format: one app for podcasts, another for films, another for books. The idea — the thread connecting them — has nowhere to live.

Akin is built around the thread. You name the seed. You choose how far to pull. It finds what's next, wherever it lives.

"You finish something great and you want more of that feeling — not more of that format."
