My girlfriend and I tried Google Meet and Zoom, but they always felt like meetings, not hangouts. Then we tried Discord, but the UX just felt cluttered and not made for this.
We just wanted something simple. A calm, personal space that feels like sitting on a premium couch. Relaxed, cozy, good vibes.
So I built Couchspace.
A place where you can watch movies, play games, and just hang out together in real time without switching apps or dealing with setup.

@latitudeGreat question 🙂
Right now it works via screen sharing. You create a room, invite your friends, and one of you can share your screen to watch together in sync.
So you can use your own streaming services and just share it inside Couchspace.
We also have built-in games that you can play directly with your friends inside the room, so you don’t always need to rely on external stuff.
And yes, this can work for games too. You can share your screen while playing, or use the inbuilt ones.
I’m also exploring deeper integrations to make this even smoother.
Let me know what kind of setup you had in mind 🙂
I just checked it out and it looks really nice!
I’ve always had issues with platforms like Netflix blocking screen sharing — how are you handling that?
Couch
@cecilia_penin_san Thanks a lot 🙂
Yeah, platforms like Netflix have strict restrictions around that.
Right now, Couchspace doesn’t try to bypass those. The focus is on creating a smooth space where you can hang out, watch together in general, and play built-in games without friction.
Always exploring ways to improve the experience while staying within platform guidelines.
Curious how you usually handle your movie nights today 🙂
Oh wow, that's so interesting. My bestie and I live live in different countries and can't see each other at all, but if this tool help us hanging out together (watching series, or movies) - that will be so cool. Can't wait for the launch to test it

@hanna_volskaya This is exactly why I built it 🙂
I’ve been in the same situation, and honestly nothing really felt right. Everything either felt like a meeting or just too clunky to enjoy.
Good news, it’s already live 😄
You and your bestie can try it right now. Just create a room, share the link, and start watching together.
Would love to hear what you both think once you try it ❤️
Finally something that doesn’t feel like a work meeting. Been using Couchspace with family and it’s the closest thing to actually hanging out together. Smooth, cozy, zero setup. Highly recommend for anyone doing long-distance with people they care about.
OMG I love this.
I do a lot of remote movie nights with friends and it's always kind of hacky. This feels like what we needed. Really excited to try it out. Thanks for making it happen🙌

@kiyaaa_ Thanks! That’s exactly the problem I was trying to solve. It’s live now, so you can try it right away. Just create a room, share the link, and you’re good to go.
Would appreciate if you have any idea or feedback to make this product even better!
