Nightstand

Movies and TV,
whenever you want.

Thousands of movies and TV shows, streaming right to your television, phone, tablet or computer — through Plex, Jellyfin or Emby.

If you can use Netflix, you can use this. It works the same way — and nothing ever leaves.

Prefer texting? works too.

How it works

1

Send me a chat

Tap the chat button on this page and say you want in — I'll send you a one-time invite link. Rather text? That works too: .

2

Set up your app

Most people should pick Plex — it's the easiest to get going: the link connects your free Plex account and you're watching in about two minutes. Prefer Jellyfin or Emby? Those work too; just tell me which when you message. Which should I pick?

3

Watch anywhere

Phone, tablet, smart TV, Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, browser. Pick up where you left off on any of them.

4

Chip in when your time runs low

Send me a chat (or a text), send your share, and I'll add the time. One month at a time or several at once.

The share

$10.00/ month

This isn't a subscription service — it's a group of us splitting what the server actually costs to run.

Everything's included: movies, shows, requests. No tiers, no add-ons. If more people join, everyone's share goes down, not up.

Electricity, running 24/7~$100/yr
Internet (server's share)~$240/yr
Content sourcing~$200/yr
Drive replacement fund~$400/yr
Domain, tunnel, tooling~$60/yr
Roughly$1,000/yr

Questions people actually ask

Plex, Jellyfin or Emby — which should I pick?

Plex — best if you're new to this. You sign in with a free Plex account, the apps are the most polished, and there's nothing to configure. If you're not sure, pick Plex.

Jellyfin or Emby — if you'd rather skip a Plex account. You get a username and password on our server instead. Setup takes a little longer: the first time you open the app, you type in our server address (I'll send it with your invite).

Same movies and shows on all three, and your time covers whichever you use. Want to switch or add another later? Just message me.

What can I watch it on?

Just about anything. Phones and tablets, smart TVs, Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox, PlayStation, or any web browser. Search your device's app store for Plex (or Jellyfin / Emby if that's what you picked).

How many people can watch at once?

You can watch on more than one device at a time. If everyone piles on at once it can slow down, but in practice that rarely happens.

Can I download things to watch offline?

Yes. In the Plex app, tap the download icon on anything you want on a plane or in the car. Works on phones and tablets.

Something's missing. Can I request it?

Yes, and please do — that's the easiest way for me to know what to add. There's a request site you get access to; ask me for the link. There's a weekly cap so no one person fills up the drives.

What happens when my time runs out?

Access pauses. Nothing is deleted — your watch history, your watchlist, and where you left off in everything all stay exactly as they were. Chip in again and it picks right back up.

How do I pay?

Cash, Cash App, Venmo, or Apple Cash — whatever's easiest. Send me a chat from this page and I'll tell you where to send it. I add the time manually once it lands, usually the same day.

Is there auto-renew?

No. Nothing bills you automatically and I don't keep any payment details. You send it when you want more time, and only then.

How do I know how much time I have left?

Scroll down and enter your phone number or name. It'll tell you.

Can I share my login with someone else?

Please don't. Each person gets their own access, and it's how I keep track of who's chipping in. If someone wants in, point them at me.

Something's broken. What do I do?

Check the server status below first — if something's down, I probably already know. If it looks fine and you're still stuck, send me a chat with what you were trying to watch and what device you're on.
