A desktop app for watching, together

Watch your shows in sync with friends.

VVatcher is a desktop app that wraps the streaming sites you already use. See what your friends are watching right now, jump to their exact moment with one click, and keep a watch history that stays on your machine — the way you want it.

Passwordless sign-in · No tracking sold or shared · Built for desktop

What it does

Everything around the watch, none of the noise.

VVatcher adds presence, history, and a little structure to the streaming you already do — without getting in the way of the video.

Watch together, in sync

See which friends are online and what they're watching in real time. One click seeks you to their exact playhead — with a sync offset tuned to your connection so you land on the same frame.

A history that's yours

VVatcher remembers what you finished. You decide what counts as “watched” — while the video plays, only in full screen, or both — past a time threshold you set. It's kept locally on your device.

Rate & remember

Give a show a quick score when you finish it — you're prompted right as you wrap up. Titles get tidied automatically, so your history reads like a clean list, not a pile of URLs.

Passwordless sign-in

No passwords to forget or leak. Approve a sign-in straight from your email or phone — phone logins are confirmed with a one-time Telegram code. That's the whole flow.

Friends & circles

Add the people you watch with, see who's around, and block anyone you'd rather not. Your activity is only ever visible to friends you've added — never the whole world.

Made for the big screen

A native desktop app, not another browser tab. Full-screen playback, proper protected-content support, and a sidebar of your sites — comfortable from a laptop to a living-room TV.

How it works

Up and watching in three steps.

STEP 01

Sign in without a password

Enter your email or phone and approve the request from the other device. A Telegram code confirms phone sign-ins. No password ever leaves your head.

STEP 02

Open a site and press play

Pick one of your streaming sites from the sidebar and watch as usual. VVatcher quietly keeps your history and gets out of the way of the video.

STEP 03

Sync up with friends

When a friend is watching, you'll see it — and you can jump to their exact moment in one click. Flip sharing off any time to watch privately.

Private by design

Your viewing stays your business.

VVatcher is built so that the social part is opt-in and the personal part stays local. Sharing is something you turn on — not a default you have to escape.

Read the full Privacy Policy

  • Watch history is stored locally on your device, not mined in the cloud.
  • “Share what I'm watching” is a single switch — off whenever you want.
  • Your activity is shared only with friends you've added — never publicly.
  • No passwords to store, reuse, or have stolen.
Ready when you are

Bring your friends into the watch.
