CinePair is a minimal, native desktop application for couples and friends to watch high-fidelity streams together. No central servers, no registrations, no data storage. Streams directly from screen to screen.
No unwanted interruptions. CinePair introduces host-approved lobbies and participant limits. When visitors connect, they wait in a secure lobby waiting-room. As the host, you hold master rights to instantly accept, decline, or ban players on the fly.
By building strictly on top of WebRTC Peer-to-Peer channels and using W3C's Perfect Negotiation pattern, CinePair connects your devices directly. No video flows to our servers, keeping streaming bandwidth high and latency near-zero.
Never compromise on audio. CinePair connects your microphone and screenshare system audio tracks into a single unified AudioContext. This mixes voice chat and high-fidelity movie soundtracks into a single seamless, echo-free stream.
Resize, reposition, and customize. When screen-sharing, overlay your partner's camera frame. Drag it anywhere, toggle circle or square frames, or hide your view instantly to optimize movie visual space.
Express yourself instantly. Integrated emoji picker and real-time floats allow you to react on your partner's active movie frame, making shared laughs and jump-scares tactile.
Absolute privacy. No emails, passwords, or usernames are required to watch movies together. Simply set a nickname, launch a private room code, and share it with your partner.
We've stripped away the overhead. No accounts, no setup wizards, no premium monthly subscriptions.
