Wootch 1.6.5 — the app has a name and a face of its own. Same Netflix, same Watch Together, now wrapped in a real product.

New identity

  • Meet Wootch. Discord-Netflix is now Wootch — a red W mark across the app, the installer, the tray and the window. Your settings, history and rooms carry over untouched; this installs over your current version as usual.

Redesigned

  • A cleaner frame. The title bar is now just what belongs to the window — back/forward, the current title, Discord status. All navigation moved into a persistent left rail: home, search, Watch Together, notifications, profile, stats and settings. No more duplicated buttons.
  • Watch Together lobby. The room panel is crisp and solid instead of a blurry sheet, with a clear "Start a room" and a tidy join-by-code row.

New

  • Keep watching. Wootch answers Netflix's "Are you still watching?" for you, so a late-night binge never stops on its own. (Toggle it in Settings › Player.)
  • Auto-recover playback. If the player freezes on a black screen, Wootch reloads and resumes right where you left off.
  • A quick tour. First launch after this update walks you through the command palette, the rail, Watch Together and your profile — once, then never again.

Fixes

  • Presence keeps a clean Netflix mark. When a title has no poster yet, the Discord card now shows Netflix's own square icon instead of a cropped wordmark.
  • No more update pop-up. The Windows "what's new" notification is gone — the app just opens.

Some of this is best seen in motion. If anything looks off, let us know.
