Solid edges, liquid motion. Glass only where your thumb needs it.
Four screens.
Same app, four addresses. If one is blocked by your ISP, try another.
Can't connect?
Because free hosting is sometimes blocked by local ISPs, here is how to get around it in under a minute.
1. Try another Screen
Use one of the four mirror addresses above. Each routes through a different network.
2. Set Private DNS
Go to Android Settings → Network & Internet → Private DNS. Paste one of these hostnames:
one.one.one.one
dns.google
3. Use a VPN
If your provider filters DNS requests, any trusted VPN restores immediate connectivity.
Your ticket.
No accounts. No sign-up. One file.

Does CinePulse host any video files?
No. CinePulse is an open-source educational indexer. It does not host, upload, or store video files. Streams are resolved on your device from public third-party endpoints.
What information is collected about me?
Nothing. There are no user accounts, no analytics, and no telemetry in the app. Watch history, resume positions, and watchlists stay entirely on your device.
Why is the APK size only 5 MB?
It uses aggressive ProGuard/R8 code shrinking and native AndroidX components without bloated third-party frameworks.
Can I use it on PC, Mac, or iPhone?
Yes. The four Web Screens run directly in any browser with the same interface and features.
