closeby

A private room for two

Movie night,
from two places.

See each other, talk the whole way through, and watch the same moment at the same time. Just you and one other person.

No account. No recording. Rooms disappear after 12 hours.

How it feels

01

Faces, the whole time

Your cameras float beside the film — drag them anywhere, shrink them, or go face-to-face when the credits roll.

02

In sync, without the countdown

Either of you can pause, scrub or change speed. Both screens follow, and small drifts are corrected quietly.

03

Two volume knobs

Turn the film down without turning your friend down. Your mic stays independent of what’s playing.

What stays private

Closeby is built so there’s very little to keep. Here is exactly what exists while your room is open.

Never leaves your device
Movie files you choose. Each of you picks your own copy; we only see its name and size.
Never recorded
Video, voice and screen shares travel live between you and are not recorded or stored.
Never stored on our servers
Chat messages. They pass between the two of you and vanish when the room closes.
Kept until the room expires
Your display names, the room code, playback position and watchlist titles — deleted within 12 hours.
