PRODUCT

Designed for cinephiles.
Built for privacy.

HeyWatch runs on your own machine. You own it. No subscriptions, no data collection, no algorithms deciding what you watch.

🎬

Your real library

Unified catalog of every source. Search once, find everything. Posters, synopses and subtitles, automatic.

🚀

Smart streaming

The player picks the best source, codec and route automatically. If one fails, it tries the next. You just hit play.

📱

On every device

Works on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, smart TVs and any browser. Nothing to install on devices: scan a QR and you're in.

🌐

Connect from anywhere

At home or on the go. Your permanent link never changes. If your IP changes, the system reconfigures itself — you don't touch anything.

🔒

Private by design

Your data lives in your home. Nobody sees what you watch, what you search, or when. No tracking, no algorithms, no third-party cloud.

🎨

Made with love

Cinematic, fluid, distraction-free interface. Apple TV-grade. Designed by people who love film.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Ten minutes.

No third-party servers. No weird config. One installer does everything for you.

01

Install HeyWatch

One command on your Mac, PC, Pi or NAS. The installer detects your network, opens the tunnel and gets everything running by itself.

02

Connect your devices

Scan the QR from your phone. On Mac, TV or anything else: open the permanent link and you're in.

03

Watch anywhere

At home, on the subway, traveling. Your cinema follows you. No apps to install, no codec fights, no waiting.

DESIGN

Built so you just hit play.

Zero distractions. Zero nested menus. One click and you're watching.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Things you're wondering.

Is it legal?
HeyWatch is self-hosted software: you install it on your own machine and you choose what to load. Same model as Plex, Jellyfin or a hard drive. We don't host any content. The responsibility for what you watch is yours, just like when you download something on your own.
Do I need a computer always on?
Yes, to access from outside your home. Any computer works: a Mac, an old PC, a Raspberry Pi or a Synology NAS. Installation takes 5 minutes.
Does it work on iPhone without installing anything?
Yes. HeyWatch works in your phone's browser, no App Store needed. You can install it as an "app" from Safari (Add to Home Screen) and it gets its own icon, full screen, notifications — the full app experience.
Why is the free plan home-only?
Accessing from outside requires maintaining a tunnel + a fixed subdomain + support. That has real infrastructure and work cost. At home, in contrast, everything runs on your WiFi without us spending a cent — that's why it's free forever.
Do I have to pay forever? What if I quit HeyWatch?
The server is yours: if you drop Pro, you keep using it at home forever. And if you leave HeyWatch entirely, your library, files and data don't go anywhere: they're on your disk.
What about my privacy?
Everything you watch lives in your home. We don't see what you search, what you play or who you share with. The only things our central system tracks are operational: that your server is online and what version it runs, so we can deliver updates.
