About this app

punchi is live TV made by the people watching it.

Channels here run around the clock. Some are people going live in person;
many are film rotations, music loops and shows on repeat, playing whether
anyone is watching or not. Open the app and something is already on.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Watch — every channel, free, no subscription needed to press play.

Talk — chat sits beside every stream. Your name, your colour, your badges.

Play — the chat column is also a board. Challenge anyone watching to chess,
checkers, four in a row, reversi or battleships, and play it out on a board
that sits over the conversation. Free games, no stakes, nothing that costs
real money.

Follow — the channels you follow are one tap away, and punchi tells you when
one of them goes live.

Browse the guide — round-the-clock channels get a proper TV guide: what is on
now, what is on next, across the whole site.

CHANNEL POINTS

Watching earns points on the channel you are watching. Spend them on that
streamer's own rewards or on gear for your fighter. Points are not money: they
cannot be bought with cash and cannot be cashed out.

SUPPORTING A CHANNEL

If you want to support a streamer directly you can subscribe monthly, send a
cheer, or buy a power-up that makes your message impossible to miss. Most of
what you spend goes to the channel you spend it in.

STREAMING ON PUNCHI

Anyone can start a channel. Point OBS — or a player like VLC, Kodi or
Jellyfin — at punchi and it keeps itself on air, showing the real title, the
synopsis and what is coming up next. You keep most of what you make, there is
no exclusivity, and nothing to apply for.

punchi is built by Ubersoft and runs on donations, subscriptions and JABS.
