Midnight Contract
EP 14 · FREE

She signed the deal at midnight. She didn't read the last clause.

The core feature set

Nine things the app does out of the box, with no account upgrade and no trial period attached to any of them.

Free forever, no subscription

Every feature on this page works without paying. The catalogue is ad-supported, and there's no premium tier hiding the good parts behind a monthly fee.

Endless vertical feed

A full-screen, swipe-driven feed that mixes creator clips, drama episodes, and anime shorts so a session never runs dry.

Full mini-drama library

Complete series in 60-to-100 vertical episodes, organised by genre, with a progress bar that remembers exactly where you stopped.

Anime shorts hub

A dedicated tab for anime clips and short-form episodes, kept separate from the drama feed so your recommendations don't blur together.

Download for offline

Save episodes to the device and watch on a plane or a commute with no signal. Downloads expire only when you clear them yourself.

Subtitles in 12 languages

Auto-loaded captions with adjustable size and background opacity, plus a sound-off mode that keeps burned-in text legible.

Continue across devices

Your place in a series syncs between phone, tablet, and the web player the moment you sign in — no manual bookmarking.

Data saver mode

Cap streaming quality on mobile data, pre-load only the next episode, and see exactly how much data a session has used.

Screen-time controls

Set a daily watch limit, turn off autoplay, and get a gentle stop-point reminder between episodes instead of an infinite roll.

How three of them actually work

The features people ask about most, explained properly rather than as a one-line bullet.

Recommendations

A feed that learns fast, and forgets on request

The For You feed weights what you finish far more heavily than what you tap. Watch two episodes of a revenge drama end-to-end and the feed adjusts within the session; skip past five cooking clips and that category quietly drops away.

What's less common is the other direction: a "show me less of this" control on every clip, and a reset that clears your taste profile completely without deleting your account or your saved list.

Watch by episode, not by hour

Every series is cut into ninety-second episodes with a visible episode grid, so you always know how far in you are and how much is left — instead of guessing from a scrub bar.

Episodes marked free stay free permanently. Where a series uses coin unlocks for later episodes, the grid shows which ones before you start, so you never hit a surprise wall eight episodes deep.

Built for slow connections

Quality is a setting you control, not something the app decides for you mid-episode. Pick a ceiling for mobile data and a separate one for Wi-Fi, and the player holds to it rather than silently jumping to the highest bitrate it can reach.

Data saver also limits pre-loading to one episode ahead, which is the single biggest difference between a comfortable commute and a blown-through data allowance.

What "free" actually covers

Being straight about the line between the free experience and the optional coin unlocks, since that's the thing most apps in this category are vague about.
