Why Mimasu?

Finding what to watch shouldn’t feel like work. Mimasu (みます) focuses on fast browsing, clean presentation, and rich detail so you can pick your next movie night pick without the fluff. It’s designed for phones, tablets, and even Android TV, with a UI that scales gracefully across form factors.

Key Features

Browse trending movies and discover popular TV series, with detail pages that help you decide quickly.
Built on The Movie Database (TMDB) for fresh data and imagery.
UI optimized for Smartphones, Tablets, and Android TV.
Actively evolving - recent updates simplified onboarding (e.g., account no longer required).

Extension Support (Providers & Integrations)

Mimasu supports an extension system so streaming providers can integrate directly in the app. That means services (for example, Netflix or Crunchyroll) could ship an extension to enable discovery and playback inside Mimasu—subject to their terms, DRM, and platform policies. Extensions are packaged as separate apps that Mimasu can discover and use seamlessly once installed.

Note

Mimasu does not bypass DRM or provider restrictions. Extensions must comply with each service’s terms and legal requirements. The extension mechanism simply provides a clean, official path for providers to plug in their catalogs and players.

Great UX by Design

Speed first: snappy lists, fast search, and minimal taps to details.
Readable by default: clean typography, balanced spacing, and accessible color use.
Consistent layouts: a single mental model across phone, tablet, and TV.
Delightful details: subtle motion and clear affordances without getting in your way.

How Extensions Work (High-Level)

A provider ships an extension app implementing the Mimasu extension interface.
The user installs the provider’s extension alongside Mimasu.
Mimasu discovers the extension and surfaces the provider’s catalog/results; playback uses the provider’s allowed methods.

This architecture keeps providers in control of their content and policies while giving users a unified, polished browsing experience.
