movie-web is a web app for watching movies easily. Check it out at movie-web.app.

This service works by displaying video files from third-party providers inside an intuitive and aesthetic user interface.

Features include:

  • 🕑 Saving of your progress so you can come back to a video at any time!
  • 🔖 Bookmarks to keep track of videos you would like to watch.
  • 🎞️ Easy switching between seasons and episodes for a TV series; binge away!
  • ✖️ Supports multiple types of content including movies, TV shows and Anime (coming soon™️)

Goals of movie-web

  • No ads
  • No BS: just a search bar and a video player
  • No responsibility on the hoster, no databases or api's hosted by us, just a static site
