What Prune is
A dedicated place to watch, not another browser to manage.
Prune opens streaming sites in a simple Windows app. You get the parts you need for watching - service shortcuts, basic navigation, mute, fullscreen, picture-in-picture, and privacy actions - without the clutter that builds up in everyday browsers.
Start with built-in shortcuts for YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Stan, and Binge, or add your own streaming site. Prune is designed to get you to the video quickly and stay out of the way.
One-stream mode
When you switch services, Prune closes the old stream first.
1
Remember where you were
Prune can keep the last safe page you visited for each service, so you can return more easily next time.
2
Close the current stream
The current video is stopped instead of staying open in the background like a hidden browser tab.
3
Open the next service cleanly
The next service opens in its own Prune space, with the viewing mode you chose for that service.
Features
Everything is shaped around watching, switching, and staying in control.
Useful viewing controls
Use back, forward, reload, home, mute, fullscreen, picture-in-picture, close stream, and settings when you need them.
Performance choices
Choose a mode that fits the moment, whether you want balanced viewing, lower memory use, better battery life, or maximum compatibility.
Privacy controls
Clear data for the current site, clear all Prune browsing data, reset saved sessions, or use a private session.
Optional downloads
Use download helpers only on sites and content where downloading is supported and allowed.
Screen recording
Record your screen and system audio for personal, lawful uses such as saving your own sessions or creating notes.
Easy troubleshooting
Check common setup details on your own computer without sending Prune logs anywhere automatically.
Safer service links
Built-in service shortcuts are kept to the websites they belong to, helping reduce accidental trips to unrelated pages.
Privacy
Prune keeps its data separate from your everyday browser.

SettingsYour app choices and custom services
Service dataCookies and sign-in sessions for each streaming service

Troubleshooting notesLocal information that can help diagnose playback problems
Nothing automaticPrune does not send usage analytics from the app
Prune does not mix with your normal Chrome or Edge data. Streaming services opened in Prune keep their Prune data separate, so your day-to-day browser stays out of it.
Private sessions are temporary. When you close one, Prune removes that session's local data. Troubleshooting information stays on your computer unless you choose to share it.
Services
Quick shortcuts for popular streaming sites, plus your own custom options.
Playback notes
Most sites are simple to open. Paid streaming may need a quick test.
Some paid streaming services have extra playback protection. Whether they work can depend on your Windows setup, the Microsoft Edge web engine installed on your PC, your graphics drivers, your account region, and the service's current rules. Prune gives these services a clean place to run, but the final check happens on your computer.

FAQ
Clear answers before you install.
Is Prune a full web browser?
