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. What started as a simple idea in 2008 has grown into the original movie bathroom break app, trusted by hundreds of thousands of movie fans worldwide.

Sh8ter turns your iPhone camera into a playground. Look around the room through the live camera view, lock onto anything you want, fling a flying tomato — or any throwable you pick — and walk away with a slow-mo replay clip that's ready for your group chat or your feed. No accounts. No servers. No ads. Just open the app, aim, throw, share. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Aim with the live camera. Move your phone like a viewfinder; the reticle locks where you point. • Charge & throw. Tap to charge, release to fire. Or just shake the phone for a quick toss. • Hit anything. Faces, posters, the couch, your dog's tail — Sh8ter detects targets in real time so the projectile reacts to whatever's on screen. • Auto-replay. Every hit is automatically recorded as a short cinematic clip with slow-mo and impact effects. • Pick your throwable. Classic tomato, water balloon, rotten egg, custom emoji or your own photo from the library — bring whatever you want. • Style the clip. Switch between filters, add a punchy caption sticker and a soundtrack from the built-in music packs. • Front, back, both. Use the back camera, flip to the front for selfie shots or enable picture-in-picture reaction cam on supported devices. • Save or share. Export to Photos or send the clip straight to Messages, TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp — nothing leaves the phone until you tap share. SH8TER PRO (OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Sh8ter is fully playable for free. If you want to post clips without the small "sh8ter" watermark, a one-time Sh8ter Pro purchase removes it on every export forever. That's the only thing it changes — every throwable, sound, music track, filter and effect stays free for everyone. Purchases restore on any device signed in to the same Apple ID. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No analytics, no tracking, no ad SDKs. • No account or sign-up. Nothing about you ever leaves the device. • Clips are saved locally and only shared when YOU tap share or save. • Background music is bundled with the app — no streaming, no third parties. • Camera, motion and photo library access are used only for what they say on the permission prompt. GREAT FOR • Quick laughs in the group chat. • Birthday roasts, prank reactions, "look what I just did" moments. • TikTok / Reels / Shorts creators looking for an unusual hook. • Anyone bored of static photo apps. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with a rear camera. • iOS 17 or later recommended for smooth motion-stabilized aiming. • Picture-in-picture reaction cam works on devices that support multicam.
