Everything in one glance

Built for the moment the lights dim.

The same cinematic timeline you see in the app — from the first preview to the last post-credit scene.

Track from the Lock Screen

A Live Activity keeps the timeline glanceable — phase, progress, and countdown right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

Estimate when previews end

Know how long the trailers run so you can settle in, grab snacks, and not miss the moment the feature really begins.

See when credits roll

Watch the timeline move from feature to credits, with a heads-up for whether it's worth staying through them.

Correct the timing anytime

Started early or late? Tap “It's Starting Now!” or “It Didn't Start Yet!” and the whole timeline re-syncs instantly.
