Popcorn Time is a cross-platform streaming discovery app that aggregates movies and TV shows from 800+ streaming platforms into a single browsable catalog. It is a complete Tauri-based rebuild (React/TypeScript frontend, Rust backend) that also supports local media playback and publishes its catalog as weekly Parquet datasets.
Use cases
- find where a movie is streaming across platforms
- aggregate all my streaming services in one app
- watch tv shows and movies on desktop and mobile
- get personalized recommendations for what to watch
- play my own local video files offline
- browse a movie and tv catalog dataset for research
- cast videos to chromecast or airplay
- watch with subtitles in multiple languages
When to choose
- you want a single hub to search and discover content across many streaming services
- you need a legal, open-source alternative to directory sites like JustWatch
- you want to play your own local media files alongside streaming discovery
- you need an open movie/TV catalog dataset for development or research
When to avoid
- you want to torrent or stream pirated content - this relaunch is a legal directory, not the original 2013 app
- you need a full streaming service with licensed content playback built in
- you only need a simple video player without discovery features
