TopWaatch is a streaming platform for discovering and watching movies and TV shows with bookmarks, progress, and history that follow you across devices.
We do not host video files. Streams come from third-party sources on the open web. We do host account data (profiles, bookmarks, watch progress, preferences) on TopWaatch’s own servers and databases. Users can deactivate or permanently delete their account from Settings.
TopWaatch continues the P-Stream / Z-Stream lineage as a unified product: our own API, auth, Cinema sources, and Cloudflare playback proxy.
