Response from developer

I’m so glad you like it! Exploring these old movies, tv shows, and ephemera from my couch was exactly why I made the app. Happy streaming!

EXCELLENT!

For Archive viewers, this is SO Much easier to find flicks and tv shows on archive, org compare to the regular search. Well done! Let us know in the website announcement if you need beta testers.

Response from developer

I’m so sorry to hear that you are having trouble playing on the latest build. The brand new version was just released on 08/28/2026. Stability (and customization of the video and captions) will be much improved! Thanks so much for the feedback!
