Choose the scenes you'd rather skip — from a list another parent already made, or your own. While your family watches on your Roku, Scene Skipper jumps past them for you, so no one has to hover over the remote.
We're launching soon. Leave your email and we'll send you one message when Scene Skipper is ready to download. Nothing else.
Works with Roku. 7-day free trial at launch — cancel anytime.
Most filtering means someone sits in the room with a thumb on the remote, already knowing what's coming. Scene Skipper lets you make those choices once, in advance, on your own time — then your phone does the skipping.
Import a list another parent already built instead of scrubbing through the movie yourself — or make your own and share it.
The Scene Skipper app on your phone or tablet talks to your Roku over your home Wi-Fi. There's no Roku channel to add and nothing to pair.
Start the movie, lock your phone, and set it down. Keep it at home on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku, with notifications on.
If your phone loses the Roku — it left the house, or the Wi-Fi dropped — the app lets you know instead of quietly giving up.
Sign in with the same account on each parent's phone or tablet. No extra charge for more phones.
No ads, no advertising trackers, and we don't sell your data. See our privacy policy.
Tip: an old phone or tablet left by the TV works great as the family's Scene Skipper device.
Scene Skipper skips whole scenes. Muting individual words isn't available yet.
| You need | Details |
|---|---|
| A Roku | Any Roku streaming player or Roku TV on your home Wi-Fi. Roku is the only TV device supported right now — more devices are coming. |
| A phone or tablet | iPhone or iPad (Android coming soon), kept at home on the same Wi-Fi as the Roku while the movie plays. |
| A supported streaming app on the Roku | Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, or Apple TV+. |
| An ad-free plan | Your streaming subscription needs to be an ad-free plan. Ads throw off the timing, so we don't support ad-supported plans yet. |
Max isn't supported on Roku. Fire TV, Google TV, Apple TV, and Samsung TVs aren't supported yet.
Scene Skipper is a subscription — $4.99/month or $29.99/year. One subscription covers your household's account, on as many of your family's phones and tablets as you like.
Start with a 7-day free trial. Cancel before it ends in your App Store subscriptions and you won't be charged. If your subscription ends, it simply stops skipping and your saved lists stay put.
It doesn't. Scene Skipper is a remote control: it tells the streaming app on your Roku to jump forward past a scene, using your own subscription on your own TV. We never copy, store, decrypt, or re-stream any video or audio — we only store the timestamps in your lists. Nothing is altered or saved; the scene simply isn't shown in your living room.
