SyncWatch

Movie night should not depend on everyone pressing play at the same second; SyncWatch runs your own watch-party server so friends in different places watch the same frame together. The host controls play, pause, seeking, and playback speed for the whole room, and late joiners or drifting clients are corrected back to the shared position automatically. You build the program from uploads or direct HTTPS media links, with subtitles, audio, images, and documents handled in the same library. Rooms can be permanent or temporary, protected by passwords and member limits, with host, admin, and permission-group control over who may operate playback. Between scenes, people talk through public and private chat, on-screen danmaku comments, emoji, voice messages, or full-room voice. Anyone can share a browser tab, window, desktop, or phone screen into the room, so a clip, a game, or a presentation becomes the shared screen. The server also keeps friends, notifications, online presence, bans, registration approvals, and an operations log, so a private community can run itself without a platform account. Uploaded media is analyzed and thumbnailed automatically, with browser-compatible versions generated for awkward formats. Backups, data export, a recycle bin, mail verification, and network diagnostics round out the admin side. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
