Scene-level precision
Every flagged moment is researched and timestamped: violence, language, sexual content, and emotional scenes, each with a plain-English description of exactly what's coming.
FilmScout alerts parents to flagged scenes in PG-13 movies 30 seconds before they happen. Violence, language, sexual content and more. So you can skip, mute, or talk it through.
Open FilmScout before you press play. Four steps and you're covered for the whole film.
Browse our growing library of PG-13 films and see a quick verdict before you commit: Clean, Manageable, or Needs Attention.
Tell FilmScout where you're watching. Timestamps auto-adjust for Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more.
Tap "I'm Pressing Play Now," set your phone down, and enjoy. FilmScout tracks every second quietly in the background.
30 seconds before a flagged scene, your phone sounds and vibrates, even through a locked screen.
Every feature exists to keep movie night enjoyable for the whole room.

FilmScout maps the good stretches too. Green "All Clear" windows show you when you can relax and enjoy the film without watching the clock.
Heavy scenes don't always mean skip. For moments worth discussing, FilmScout surfaces a conversation prompt to help you talk it through with your kids.
Pause for snacks or rewind a scene. FilmScout's mic listener re-syncs the timer automatically so alerts stay accurate no matter how many interruptions.
Set alerts to fire 15 seconds ahead for a quick heads-up, or 2 full minutes if you'd rather pause and have a conversation before the scene arrives.
Different services encode films differently. Select your platform and FilmScout adjusts every timestamp automatically.
Content most parents will want to fast-forward past entirely.
Language you'd rather not play. The visuals are fine.
Intense or upsetting, but watchable. Worth knowing about.
A safe window. Put the phone down and enjoy.
