100% free and donation supported — no paywall. New Peetimes added weekly for every new movie. Find out when to go without missing the best scenes.
You know that feeling. You're watching an amazing movie, your drink kicks in, and you're stuck choosing between missing a key scene or suffering through the rest of the film.
RunPee solves this. We tell you the best times to take a bathroom break during a movie — without missing anything important. RunPee is 100% free and supported entirely by donations from our community — no paywall.
HOW IT WORKS
Before the movie starts, look up your film in RunPee. You'll see a list of Peetimes, each carefully chosen by our expertly trained staff. Peetimes are scenes in a movie, usually 3-4 minutes long, that are easy to summarize without missing anything important, like a dramatic scene, or funny moment, or exciting action. Each Peetime includes:
• When to go (a cue so you know exactly when it starts)
• How long the bathroom break lasts
• A short summary (hidden unless you tap) of what happened, so you don't have to ask anyone, "What did I miss?"
Start the RunPee timer when the movie begins. The app will gently vibrate 30 seconds before each Peetime starts, so you're never caught off guard.
ANYTHING EXTRA AFTER THE CREDITS?
Wondering if there are post-credits scenes worth staying for? RunPee's "Anything Extra" feature tells you — without spoilers — whether there are mid-credit or end-credit scenes after the movie. No more sitting through 10 minutes of credits for nothing.
PEETIMES FOR EVERY NEW RELEASE
Our team watches every major release and hand-picks the best Peetimes. New movies are added weekly. We've covered over 1,900 movies and counting.
DESIGNED FOR THE THEATER
Dark theme, silent vibration alerts, minimal screen brightness. RunPee is designed to be invisible to everyone in the cinema except you.

…. And I can’t see myself using it without an apple watch app.The watch app would 1) scroll between current films using dial (ideally you could give calendar access and it’d make a guess to try and bring likely movie to top, if title in calendar)2) having selected film, show “start when”, “time until” and peetime quality3) buzz wrist at 30sec - and switch to show “start when” and “you have”4) during peetime, dial give synopsis5) after peetime, if another peetime go to 2), else6) show countdown to film end, with indication of post credit stuff

I first used this app because I have a bladder condition that means I always have to pee at least once during a film; RunPee has totally revolutionised that for me I’m not only being able to pick the right / best time(s) to dash out to pee, but also to be able to read a summary of what happens during that break so I don’t have to miss anything. I have my iPhone set to do not disturb, but just have RunPee as the one authorised app on that so I have my phone locked next to me (screen up) and the notifications just before each pier time pop up in it (but the screen still stays dark) - works perfectly. However, I now also use this app for the useful feature of seeing if there’s anything extra during / after the credits to wait to watch (a friend of mine downloaded the app just for that reason!). And, finally, I love rating the film with my expectation before watching and then my rating after watching, and seeing how this compares to the average. Saw some what I would say are unfair reviews here, which is why I wanted to write this as this app has revolutionised my experience of going to the cinema and I would be lost without it!
Essential

Genuinely one the best ideas for an app and one of the most beautifully-curated and updated. An essential app if you’re a fan of cinema. Crazy to me that this is manually updated pretty-much daily-you should download, use, support and tell others about it.
What’s to fault

Found the app yesterday, when heading out to rewatch Dune part 1. It’s a long film and the cinema has unlimited drinks and hot dogs… you just had to fetch them yourself. Average of around 4:30 breaks, every 30 minutes or so during the film made, perfect time for breaks/refil. Popped my phone in DND, but allowed this one app to send notifications during DND. On point a vibration in my pocket meant one thing. Checked my watch and looked out for the signal phrase. Five stars, brilliant free app.
