Control what you see. Skipifi turns your iPhone into the remote for the free Skipifi app on your Google TV or Chromecast, automatically skipping explicit scenes and muting profanity on the streaming services you already pay for. Skipifi automatically skips explicit scenes — like kissing and nudity — and mutes profanity in real time on the streaming services you already pay for, so every movie night is comfortable for the whole family.

Pair once by scanning the QR code on your TV screen, then browse, pick, and play — Skipifi handles the awkward parts as you watch. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free Skipifi app on your Google TV or Chromecast. 2. Scan the QR code on your TV with your iPhone, then confirm the pairing code shown on your TV — you only do this once. 3.
