Skip the intro.
Keep the data free.

SkipDB is crowdsourced intro, recap, outro and preview timestamps for movies and TV - contributed by people, reviewed by the community, and published openly so the data can never be quietly locked away or sold.

Try Breaking Bad or Suits.

6.6k+

The data stays open

Code is AGPL-3.0, data is ODbL 1.0 + reciprocity. A public dump means SkipDB can never be made proprietary or shut down with the data held hostage.

Stream-aware matching

Optional per-submission stream duration lets SkipDB compare versions and smart-shift timestamps when a stream has an extra logo or scene at the start.

No account needed to submit

Generate an API key without signing up to submit, edit, or delete your own timestamps — no email, no password. Submissions are still linked to avoid abuse, allowing for bulk removal.

Four kinds of skippable segment

Intro

Opening titles / theme song

Recap

"Previously on…"

Outro

End credits

Preview

"Next time…"

A free, open API

Reading is open with sensible rate limits — no key required. Pass a stream duration and SkipDB returns the best-matching segment, adjusting timestamps across differing stream lengths.

No auth required to read
