RunPee has been great to me over the years, but since the Covid pandemic, it’s not made a livable wage. RunPee has essentially become a time-consuming hobby. I go to one or two, occasionally three, movies a week, and manage the customer feedback and such. Fortunately, the app is pretty stable and doesn’t require much upkeep. There are some improvements I would like to make if I can find the time.
Time, however, has become a precious commodity because I’ve taken on the CTO role for another startup called Mapt: College Planning Advisor. For the past 18 months, I’ve been working with the CEO to build an app that helps high school students navigate the path to college.
The World’s Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to
run & pee during a movie
so you don't miss the best scenes.

Studies have shown that the number one stress among high school students revolves around college admissions. There simply are not enough guidance counselors available today to help with the process. Families that can afford it hire private counselors to help their children make the best decisions possible about their continued education. Less fortunate families are left to struggle through the uncertainties on their own. The result is that 60% of students from high-income families go on to complete their degree, while only 16% of students from low-income families do so. Graduating from college increases an individual’s lifetime earnings by $1 million, increases employment stability by 50%, and unlocks crucial social capital.
Our mission is to bridge the gap and give all students the tools necessary to continue their education. All of the most important core features of the Mapt app are free to everyone. We offer a monthly subscription option to parents so they can follow their child’s progress and gain access to a human college advisor.
Mapt helps students in many ways. (all free)
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.

This app is the best wingman for a movie goer, especially when you have to go. It even has a vibrating timer that is spot on for those ‘go times’ some of us need! There are many other features that are wonderful. It even lets you know when the kill scenes are coming up for the people and animals for those who may have sensitivities to that type of content. The staff go above and beyond!
