Find what you’ll love next.

Films and series, picked for you and played right in the app. nexttupp learns what you like, tells you why each pick is there, and runs on your own computer.

The nexttupp app showing the title page for Charade (1963): its title art, year, running time, synopsis, a Play button and buttons to download, add to a list, like and dislike.
Charade (1963), in the public domain, on its nexttupp title page.

Picks that explain themselves.

Like or dislike anything you see. nexttupp learns from both, and every pick says why it’s there: because you liked a film, or because it’s from the director of one.

Curious what it thinks of you? Your taste puts it in a sentence, and lets you set it straight.

You lean towards silent classics and witty mysteries, and come back to Fritz Lang.

Your computer. Your data.

nexttupp is an app you install, not a website you visit. It plays, downloads and works out what to recommend on your own computer.

Your likes, lists and history live there too. An account is optional: sign in, and only your likes, lists, profiles and progress sync between your devices.

Download it. Watch it later.

One press on a title’s page saves it to your computer. It downloads in the background, carries on after a restart, and plays offline once it’s done.

A profile for everyone at home.

Everyone gets their own likes, list and picks, so one person’s horror marathon never takes over someone else’s home screen.

When there’s more than one of you, nexttupp asks who’s watching.

Invite-only.

nexttupp is shared between friends. Any member can invite someone, and an invite is how you get an account. Been sent one? Open the link and follow the three steps.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There’s nothing to buy and no subscription.

Do I need an account?

No. nexttupp works fully without one. An account only syncs your likes, lists, profiles and progress between your devices, and creating one takes an invite from a member.

My Mac says nexttupp can’t be opened.

The app isn’t signed with Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm it the first time. In Applications, right-click nexttupp and choose Open, then choose Open again.

On macOS Sequoia and later, try to open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. After that it opens normally.

Windows says it protected my PC.

That’s SmartScreen, which flags apps that aren’t signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Which Linux file should I pick?

The AppImage runs on most distributions: allow it to run as a program (in its file properties, or with chmod +x), then open it. On Ubuntu, Debian and their relatives, the .deb installs it like any other app.

Is there an app for phones or TVs?

Not a separate one yet, but you can already watch on them at home. With nexttupp running and signed in on your computer, open nexttupp.com/watch on your phone, sign in, and tap Watch. To watch on a TV with Chromecast or Google TV built in, press Cast in the player. Both work over your home Wi‑Fi, with your computer doing the work.

Get nexttupp.

Free for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Mac

Not sure which? Apple menu → About This Mac. If it lists a Chip, choose Apple Silicon; if it lists a Processor, choose Intel.

Windows

An installer for 64-bit Windows. If SmartScreen appears, choose More info, then Run anyway.

Linux

The AppImage runs on most distributions. The .deb suits Ubuntu, Debian and their relatives.
