Features

Calm, safe, and under your control

Popcorn Otter does not provide films. It plays videos you own on your own network.

A shelf for each child

Each child has a profile with an animal buddy and sees only the films you switch on, one by one or a whole folder.

Screen time

Daily and weekend minutes, films per sitting, and a volume limit.

Bedtime and wind-down

Bedtime and wake time per child, with a gentle wind-down in the last 10 minutes.

Finish the film

Let a film end before it stops, for up to 20 extra minutes.

Your films, your NAS

Plays your own videos over SMB from Synology, BeeStation, QNAP, Windows or Mac.

Weekly report

Minutes per day and the films each child watched, for parents.
