Couch is a web-based space for watching movies, playing board games, and hanging out at a distance. Its copy frames it as a replacement for awkward video calls, with the idea that the content stays central while people spend time together.
The service synchronizes screens so playback stays aligned: if one person pauses, the other screen pauses too. It also shares audio so everyone hears the same soundtrack, dialogue, and reactions. Other named features include Dark Mode and a private space for two people, where moments can be saved with a tap. The page also mentions that saved memories can be revisited, including a scene, an inside joke, or a late-night reaction.
Couch is described as working with streaming services users already pay for, and the page names Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+, YouTube, Paramount+, Max, Hulu, and HBO Max. It is presented as working with any tab and any stream, and the supported browsers and devices section begins with Chrome. The page copy says that it is in beta.
Couch sits in PulseGate's Communication & Collaboration category. It focuses on making remote movie watching and social hangouts feel natural and synchronized for friends at a distance. It is built as a consumer product for friends and remote social groups. The product is available for free. It runs on the web.
Couch first shipped in 2023. Key capabilities include synchronized playback, screen sharing, and audio sharing. Couch is currently in beta.
