Someone you love lives far away.
You want to watch a movie together. You try to count down on the phone — "3, 2, 1, press play" — and thirty seconds in you're already out of sync and someone's asking the other to pause. It's fine. It's just not the same as being in the same room.
Kosmi is the same room.
It's a free browser-based platform that lets you create a virtual room — a virtual living room, drive-in, game room, coffee shop, whatever you want — and invite anyone with a link. No download. No account required to join. They click the link and they're in.
The watch party is perfectly synced. When you play, they play. When you pause, they pause. When you scrub to a different part, they follow. Netflix, YouTube, and other streaming services all work. Built-in video and voice chat means you're watching together, not just watching simultaneously and texting each other reactions.
But it's not just movies. Kosmi has retro game emulators built in — NES, SNES, PlayStation — so you can play classic games together in the browser. There's poker. Cards Against Humanity. Shared browsing. Screen sharing. File sharing. It's less a watch party tool and more a full virtual hangout platform that happens to do watch parties exceptionally well.
The rooms are customizable and persistent. You can set up a standing movie night room with your college friends across three time zones and it's there every week when you need it.
Backed by Techstars, Mozilla, and Comcast. Covered by TechCrunch and Engadget. Completely free.
Long-distance relationships, friend groups spread across the country, remote teams who want to actually hang out — this is for all of them.
