Movies are long. Bladders aren't.

You bought the ticket, the popcorn and the large soda. Two hours in, you have a choice: hold it and stop enjoying the movie, or go and gamble on missing the scene everyone talks about on the way out.

RunPee takes the gamble out of it.

A Peetime is the moment to go

Someone on our team watches every movie in a theater and finds the few minutes that are best for stepping out. Every Peetime gives you four things:

Start time Accurate to within about 5 seconds, counted from the start of the movie.
Cue A line of dialogue or a clear image that tells you now. It never spoils anything.
Length Usually 2½ to 5 minutes. Enough to take care of business and get right back.
Synopsis What happened while you were gone, short enough to read in the hallway.

Your phone does the remembering

Start the timer on a precise cue, like the studio logo fading out. RunPee buzzes about 30 seconds before each Peetime, so you never have to check your phone in the dark. It even works in Airplane Mode.

Not every Peetime is equal

We mark the difference, so you don't have to guess.

👍 Recommended Plenty long, with nothing crucial in it. Go without a second thought.
👎 Emergency A long stretch with nothing safe? We find the minutes that cost you the least, for when you really can't wait.
⚠️ Alert Nothing to do with the bathroom. We mark scenes of animal cruelty, torture and sexual violence, so anyone who'd rather not see them can step out.

Stay for the credits, or don't

Anything Extra tells you whether there's a scene during or after the end credits, when it comes, and how long the credits run. The details stay behind a clearly marked spoiler section.

Made by people, not algorithms

Every Peetime comes from a person who sat in a theater with a timer and a notebook. No AI, no guesswork. RunPee is a family business, and someone in the family is at the movies every week, so the Peetimes are usually ready by opening night.

As heard on NPR

RunPee's first big break was a phone call to Leo Laporte's The Tech Guy. Dave Barry wrote about it, and a few days later NPR's All Things Considered had us in the studio. How RunPee started.
