Sidetracked
Plays in sync with what you’re watching

Every film, with the commentary it deserves

Director’s commentary was always the best part of the DVD — and then it quietly disappeared. Sidetracked brings it back, opens it to everyone, and keeps it in time with whatever you’re streaming.

How it works

No new streaming service, no re-encoded films. Just a second audio track that knows where you are.

  1. 01

    Start your film

    Play anything on Netflix, Prime Video, Max or Shudder — on the TV, exactly as you normally would.

  2. 02

    Sidetracked follows along

    It reads where you are in the film and keeps the commentary locked to it. Pause, rewind, skip around — the track stays with you.

  3. 03

    Listen in your headphones

    The film's audio stays on the TV for everyone else. The commentary plays privately on your phone.

Questions

Watch something twice

The second time is better with someone talking you through it.
