You know that feeling. You're watching an amazing movie, your drink kicks in, and you're stuck choosing between missing a key scene or suffering through the rest of the film. RunPee solves this. We tell you the best times to take a bathroom break during a movie — without missing anything important. RunPee is 100% free and supported entirely by donations from our community — no paywall. HOW IT WORKS Before the movie starts, look up your film in RunPee. You'll see a list of Peetimes, each carefully chosen by our expertly trained staff. Peetimes are scenes in a movie, usually 3-4 minutes long, that are easy to summarize without missing anything important, like a dramatic scene, or funny moment, or exciting action. Each Peetime includes: • When to go (a cue so you know exactly when it starts) • How long the bathroom break lasts • A short summary (hidden unless you tap) of what happened, so you don't have to ask anyone, "What did I miss?" Start the RunPee timer when the movie begins. The app will gently vibrate 30 seconds before each Peetime starts, so you're never caught off guard. ANYTHING EXTRA AFTER THE CREDITS? Wondering if there are post-credits scenes worth staying for? RunPee's "Anything Extra" feature tells you — without spoilers — whether there are mid-credit or end-credit scenes after the movie. No more sitting through 10 minutes of credits for nothing. PEETIMES FOR EVERY NEW RELEASE Our team watches every major release and hand-picks the best Peetimes. New movies are added weekly. We've covered over 1,900 movies and counting. DESIGNED FOR THE THEATER Dark theme, silent vibration alerts, minimal screen brightness. RunPee is designed to be invisible to everyone in the cinema except you. NOW IN 42 LANGUAGES Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many more. Take RunPee to any movie theater in the world. TRUSTED BY MOVIEGOERS FOR 18+ YEARS RunPee was created by Dan Gardner, a moviegoer who had one too many badly-timed bathroom breaks.

I am grateful it exists! ### 5/5 — My Favorite Movie App *2026-08-22, version 7.1.0* I could not go to the movies without this app. It's a game changer for those who need to pee often. ### 5/5 — Essential *2026-08-19, version 7.1.0* Genuinely one the best ideas for an app and one of the most beautifully-curated and updated. An essential app if you’re a fan of cinema. Crazy to me that this is manually updated pretty-much daily-you should download, use, support and tell others about it. ### 5/5 — Simple concept done right *2026-08-18, version 7.1.0* Genuinely a really well thought app. You can tell that the developers go to the movies because all the features and niche things that aren’t necessarily very needed but would be nice to have and know during a movie, are here in this app. Having live activities makes it so useful, you need to open the app to see when to go pee you can just raise your phone and it’s there. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — A life saver *2026-08-17, version 7.1.0* Have been using it for years, probably from the very beginning. As someone who hates being uncomfortable but also hates missing anything, I was so happy when I first found out about this app, and have been grateful for it ever since! ### 5/5 — So useful! *2026-08-16, version 7.1.0* I never make it through a movie without needing to run to the bathroom. This app makes sure I don't miss any crucial plot points! I also love knowing whether there's anything interesting during /after the credits. ### 5/5 — Love - used for years *2026-08-15, version 7.1.0* I cannot recommend enough, been using this for years. It is always helpful and makes us small bladder folks very happy. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-15, version 7.1.0* I always recommend this app to friends & family. So much great info! I especially enjoy the ‘anything else’ after the movie feature 😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-14, version 7.1.0* Best app!! Everyone need to use it! ### 5/5 — Does everything it claims *2026-08-09, version 7.1.0* Been using this app for years, it deserves 5 stars for being one of the most consistent and functional apps I’ve ever installed. Does everything it claims without compromise. I think the author is a one man show too (or close to it), which makes this even greater.
