Popcorn Time is a free, browser-based discovery and playback app for movies, TV shows and anime. The catalog, posters, ratings and episode guides are powered by The Movie Database (TMDB), and every title page gathers every way to watch it in one place — trailers, a built-in player, direct streams and third-party web servers — so you never have to dig through a dozen tabs again.
Playback is organised into two clearly separated groups. The Ad-free group runs through our own player: sources are found on public peer-to-peer networks and streamed by the built-in player, and Popcorn Direct serves public-domain and freely licensed copies straight from archive.org. The Ads group lists third-party web servers — those pages carry the providers' own advertising. The player always tries the best ad-free source first, and whenever the ad-free sources come up empty or fail, a healthy Ads server opens on its own (marked with an amber badge); the amber chips in the same server row, each with a live health dot, let you pick one yourself at any time.
There is nothing to install and nothing to pay. Pick up where you left off with Continue Watching and build a watchlist in My List — your list and progress are stored in your own browser, not on our servers.
