Frequently Asked Questions
Limelight is a mobile app that helps you figure out what to watch and where to watch it. Instead of bouncing between streaming apps trying to find something, you can search once and see every option. Save movies to a watchlist, track what you've seen, and get recommendations based on what you like—all in one clean, ad-free app.
Most streaming apps do one thing well—tracking, search, or discovery—but not all three. Limelight combines them into one app. It's also completely ad-free, includes features you won't find elsewhere (like SceneSnap, which identifies movies from a photo), and is built by an indie developer who actually uses it. No clutter, no ads, no corporate bloat.
Yes. Search, streaming availability, Watchlist, Seen List, trailers, cast and crew info, recommendations, and sharing are all free. Limelight+ unlocks extra features like SceneSnap, QuickSort, streaming Top 10s, and multi-source ratings for $24.99/year or $2.99/month.

You can browse and search without an account, but creating one lets you save your Watchlist and Seen List so they sync across devices. Accounts are free and powered by The Movie Database (TMDB)—just enter an email and password, and you're set in about 30 seconds.
No. Limelight doesn't track, sell, or share your personal information. The app is supported entirely by Limelight+ subscriptions, not ads or data harvesting.
Limelight is built by Jordan Kennedy, an independent developer in Nashville. No big company behind it—just one person who wanted a better app for finding something to watch.
