Introducing InstantWatcher

Who is this website for?

It’s for Netflix users who want to traverse and explore Netflix’s catalog of streaming titles more efficiently and painlessly. All the information and cross-links on this website are limited to Watch Instantly titles so you don’t have to waste time sifting through a bunch of DVD-only titles to find the ones that you can start watching right away. You can also play or queue these titles directly from this website.

Can I use this website for free?

Yes. But you do have to have a Netflix membership to make full use of this website.

How are you associated with Netflix?

Recently Netflix released something called the Netflix API, which lets independent software developers to tap into Netflix’s database to build useful applications of Netflix users. Through the Netflix API, Netflix is encouraging the development of complementary websites like this one. At the same time, instantwatcher.com is an independent operation. It is not owned or controlled by Netflix.

Who created this website?

Daniel Choi, a solo, independent Ruby software developer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Another website of mine is kindlefeeder.com, a free service for Amazon Kindle users.
