About this app

RunPee tells you the best times to take a bathroom break during a movie — so you never miss the best scenes. Our built in timer alerts you with a discreet vibration when it's the perfect time to pee. 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 MOVIE THEATER
Dark theme, silent vibration alerts, minimal screen brightness. RunPee is designed to be invisible to everyone in the cinema except you.

TRUSTED BY MOVIEGOERS FOR 18+ YEARS
RunPee was created by Dan Gardner, a moviegoer who had one too many badly-timed bathroom breaks. What started as a simple idea in 2008 has grown into the original movie bathroom break app, trusted by hundreds of thousands of movie fans worldwide.

Ratings and reviews

Required app for people with small bladders. Provides the length of the movie and a timer to the next recommended break. Set your phone to vibrate before each potty break. During the break read the brief summary. Never miss an important scene! Includes multiple reviews for each movie and additional information, such as any extras during the credits. Been using this app for years, HIGHLY recommend.

I had been successfully using this app for about a year now, but today it stopped working. It kept saying it was "updating database," but it lasted for several hours (and also drained my battery). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but I had the same problem with a never-ending database update. BTW I was on my home wifi.

I cannot begin to express what an absolute revelation this app is!!! Total game changer for me, seriously. I have mobility challenges and a tiny bladder... HORRIBLE combination for the super-long movies my husband loves to see on the big. This app significantly reduced the anxiety I had around "making it through" a recent movie date. RunPee helped me prepare in advance, and the timer helped me pick the best break time while allowing me to stay focused on the movie until "go time". THANK YOU!!!
