HDfy: movies, TV shows, stand-up, documentaries and anime in HD

The menu rail

The rail runs down the left side of every page on a wide screen. At the top sits the HDfy mark: a gold play tile beside the letters HD in white and fy in gold. Under it, each menu item pairs a simple line icon with a label: Home, Movies, TV Shows, Stand-up, Documentaries, Anime, Top IMDb, Latest, My List and Help.

The page you are on is marked with a thin gold bar on the left edge of its menu item and a gold icon. The rail stays in place as you scroll, so every section of HDfy is one click away wherever you are on a page.

On tablets and phones the rail folds away and the same items open from the gold Menu button in the top bar. The drawer drops in just under the bar, with the search box at the top.

The top bar

Across the top of the content runs a slim bar with the search box and a My List pill. The search box is rounded, with a gold magnifier on the right and the prompt Type a title.

The My List pill has a gold outline and a pin icon, and opens your saved titles in one click. On narrow screens the pill shrinks to its icon and the search box drops to a line of its own.

The bar stays at the top as you scroll through the rows, so a new search is always within reach, even deep in the Documentaries row.

The featured billboard

The first thing on the home page is the billboard. A backdrop from the featured film fills the width, darkened on the left so the words stay readable. A small gold Featured label sits above a line introducing HDfy and a short welcome.

The featured film comes next in large type: at the moment The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's retelling of Homer's epic. A line of details follows with the year, the audience score in gold, the genres and the runtime, then a few lines of story and the names of the director and the lead cast.

Two buttons close the billboard: a gold Watch now and a translucent Details. Beneath them runs a strip of small posters for the other featured titles, including Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Stranger Things, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and The Last Dance.

The rows

Under the billboard, HDfy is organised in rows. Each row has a bold heading on the left and a gold See all link, and its posters scroll sideways with a swipe, a trackpad or the scroll bar.

The rows follow the kinds of title HDfy is built around: Recently Added Movies, Recently Added TV Shows, Recently Added Stand-up Comedies, Recently Added Documentaries and Recently Added Anime, followed by Top rated.

At the end of every row a tall tile with a dashed gold border says See all. It opens the full page for that row, so the row is a preview and the page behind it is the whole shelf.

Posters and the play button

Each poster has softly rounded corners and a small black badge in the top right with a gold star and the audience score. The title appears under the poster in bold white, with the year in grey and a TV tag for series.

Point at a poster, or move to it with the keyboard, and the image zooms slightly while a round gold play button appears in the middle. One click opens the title page.

The same card is used on every list page, from genres and years to search results and My List, so HDfy reads the same way wherever you browse.

The title page

Every film, series, special and documentary has its own page. The poster sits beside the title, the original title, the year, the runtime or seasons and the genres, followed by the synopsis and two buttons: a gold Watch now and Add to My List.

A panel of facts lists the original title, release date, original language, country, runtime, studio and the TMDB audience score with its votes. Cast and creators appear as chips, and similar titles close the page.

Each page has a clean address based on the title and its TMDB number, so links you share keep working.

Series and episodes

Series pages add a list of seasons. Each season has its own page with every episode in order, its title and its air date.

Beside each episode is a Reached this episode button. Press it and HDfy remembers your place; the series page and My List then show where you left off, so returning to Reacher or Ted Lasso after a break is easy.

The series guide explains the season pages, and the latest episodes page lists new episodes from every show by air date.

Watch now

The gold Watch now button leads to a panel where you choose your viewing country. HDfy then opens the title on JustWatch, the directory that tracks which services carry each title in each country.

JustWatch lists subscriptions such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max or JioHotstar, rental and purchase stores such as Google TV and Apple TV, and free services with adverts where they exist. One more click opens the title in that service.

The listings are updated daily, so Watch now always shows where a title is today. The How to watch guide walks through each step.

Your viewing country

What you can watch depends on where you are, so HDfy asks for your viewing country once. India is first, followed by the United States, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and others.

The choice is saved in your browser and used on every title page after that.

The country in the facts panel is different: it tells you where a title was made, such as Japan for Spirited Away or the United Kingdom for Planet Earth II.

Search

The search box reads titles, original titles, cast and directors, which makes it handy for stand-up: type a comedian's name and every special appears. Typing Attenborough brings up the nature documentaries, and typing Nolan brings up his films.

Extra words people often add, such as hdfy, movie, 1080p, download or subtitles, are skipped automatically, and season and episode numbers are understood.

The search page adds filters for type, genre, year, language, status, minimum rating and order. The Finding a title guide has examples.

New films

The movie row starts with this year's releases. The Odyssey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Project Hail Mary, Toy Story 5, Minions & Monsters, The Mandalorian and Grogu and Supergirl lead the list, with Zootopia 2, Avatar: Fire and Ash and Jurassic World Rebirth close behind.

New films usually open in cinemas and reach rental and subscription services later, at different times in each country. Watch now always shows the current step for yours.

The New on HDfy guide explains the timing, and the Latest page lists every film by release date.

Blockbusters and superheroes

HDfy's film catalogue is rich in the big-screen favourites people return to. The Marvel run includes The Avengers, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Deadpool & Wolverine.

Spider-Man appears across eras: The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: No Way Home, the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and this year's new film.

DC brings The Batman, Joker and The Dark Knight Rises. The Superheroes collection gathers them all.

Science fiction on the big screen

Science fiction films are some of the best reasons to choose the highest picture quality. Interstellar, Dune, Dune: Part Two and Blade Runner 2049 are made for a large screen.

Mad Max: Fury Road and Top Gun: Maverick bring spectacle of a different kind, and Oppenheimer and Everything Everywhere All at Once show how varied the big awards winners have become.

The Sci-fi and fantasy films collection lists them by popularity.

Animated films

Animated films on HDfy suit every age. Pixar's Inside Out and Coco are favourites for family nights, and DreamWorks brings The Wild Robot and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Big franchises continue with Toy Story 5, Minions & Monsters, Zootopia 2 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Anime films have their own shelf, covered further down, and the Animation and family collection holds the rest.

Drama and thrillers

For grown-up evenings, HDfy has drama and suspense. Whiplash follows a young drummer and a ruthless teacher, The Imitation Game tells the story of the Enigma codebreakers, and Gone Girl turns a disappearance into a thriller.

The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood and Django Unchained bring star directors, and Fury follows a tank crew at the end of the Second World War.

Horror fans can start with The Conjuring and move on to this year's new arrivals.

Crime and drama series

The TV row is full of shows built for a weekend. Reacher follows a drifter who solves crimes with his fists, Tulsa King sends a New York mobster to Oklahoma, and Fargo tells a new dark story each season.

Better Call Saul traces how a small-time lawyer became Saul Goodman, Yellowstone follows a ranching family defending its land, and True Detective pairs detectives with haunting cases.

The Crime and drama series collection lists them all with their seasons.

Fantasy and science-fiction series

Fantasy fans have plenty to follow. House of the Dragon returns to Westeros, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power goes back to the Second Age of Middle-earth, and The Witcher and Outlander bring monsters and time travel.

Science fiction is just as strong: Silo follows a community living underground, The Expanse spreads humanity across the solar system, Westworld questions what is real, and FROM traps its characters in a town that keeps every visitor.

Stranger Things mixes both, with a small town, a secret lab and the Upside Down.

Superhero series

Superheroes are on the small screen too. The Boys imagines heroes as celebrities first and heroes second, INVINCIBLE is an animated story of a teenager with his father's powers, and Loki sends the god of mischief through time.

DC's television world includes Superman & Lois, The Flash, Supergirl, Gotham and DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

The Sci-fi and fantasy series collection includes them.

Comedy series

For shorter, lighter episodes, the comedy series shelf delivers. Ted Lasso follows an American football coach managing an English football team with kindness, and Young Sheldon tells the childhood of a genius in Texas.

BoJack Horseman is an animated comedy with surprising depth, and Nathan for You and The Rehearsal blur comedy and documentary.

The Comedy series collection lists them all.

Case-of-the-week series

Some series are perfect for dropping in on an episode at a time. The Rookie follows a late starter in the Los Angeles police, 9-1-1 follows first responders, and Chicago P.D. follows an intelligence unit in Chicago.

The Good Doctor follows a surgeon with autism at a busy hospital, and Blindspot and Scorpion mix cases with mysteries that run across seasons.

These long runs are where the Reached this episode button earns its place.

Stand-up: the stars

Stand-up comedy has a whole row on HDfy, something few catalogues offer. Kevin Hart: What Now? was filmed in front of a stadium crowd, and Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain was an early hit.

Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones and Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer show a master at work, and Chris Rock: Selective Outrage was the first live stand-up special on Netflix.

Adam Sandler: Love You mixes jokes and songs, and Your Friend, Nate Bargatze is gentle, clean comedy for the whole family.

Stand-up: new voices

New comedians fill the row as well. Taylor Tomlinson: Prodigal Daughter, Marcello Hernández: American Boy, Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life and Kumail Nanjiani: Night Thoughts are recent specials.

Bo Burnham: Inside was written, filmed and edited by one person in one room, and remains one of the most talked-about specials of recent years. Bo Burnham: Make Happy and Bo Burnham: What. show how he got there.

Ali Wong: Baby Cobra and John Mulaney: Baby J round out the favourites. The Stand-up guide has more.

How to enjoy stand-up

Stand-up specials are short, usually an hour, which makes them ideal for a weeknight. Most premiere on a single service, so Watch now usually shows one clear place to watch each special.

Subtitles help with fast delivery and crowd noise, and many specials include them in several languages.

For a comedy night, line up two specials in My List: one from a veteran and one from a newer voice.

Documentaries: sport and music

The documentary row covers every subject, but sport and music are favourites. The Last Dance follows Michael Jordan and the 1990s Chicago Bulls, and Formula 1: Drive to Survive goes behind the scenes of each racing season.

Free Solo follows a climber up the face of El Capitan with bare hands, and The Greatest Night in Pop goes inside the recording of We Are the World.

Music portraits include Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry and Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, and film history includes Ennio.

Documentaries: nature and science

Nature documentaries are some of the most beautiful titles on HDfy. Planet Earth II, Our Planet and Prehistoric Planet are best watched on the largest screen available.

David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet is a personal look back at a lifetime of filming nature, and Life on Our Planet and The Dinosaurs travel back through the history of life on Earth.

Cosmos turns astronomy into an adventure. The Documentaries guide collects the highlights.

Documentaries: true stories

True-crime and investigative documentaries draw big audiences. The Tinder Swindler follows the women who exposed a con man, The Jinx investigates a wealthy suspect, and Tiger King became a phenomenon.

The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley tells the story of Theranos, The Social Dilemma looks at social media, and American Factory follows a factory in Ohio under new owners.

The Docuseries collection groups the longer stories.

Anime series

The anime row is where many visitors spend their evenings. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End follows an elf mage after her hero's quest has ended, JUJUTSU KAISEN follows students who fight curses, and SPY x FAMILY builds a family of a spy, an assassin and a telepath.

Solo Leveling, Kaiju No. 8 and Attack on Titan bring big action, Haikyu!! brings volleyball, and Hunter x Hunter, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Mob Psycho 100 are long-loved classics.

Each series has its seasons and dated episodes, and the Anime guide explains subtitles and dubs.

Anime films

Anime films deserve their own evening. Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, Arrietty and The Boy and the Heron are here, alongside Makoto Shinkai's Your Name., Weathering with You and Suzume.

Series films include Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Movie: Mugen Train, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc.

A Silent Voice: The Movie and Look Back are quieter and deeply moving.

Picture quality

HD is in the name, and the services you open from HDfy deliver it. Streams adjust between 720p and 1080p to match your connection, and premium plans add 4K with HDR for many new films and series. A steady connection keeps the picture at its sharpest.

Some titles are made to show off a good screen. Dune: Part Two and Avatar: Fire and Ash in 4K, Planet Earth II and Prehistoric Planet with their close-up wildlife, and House of the Dragon with its dragons in flight are the ones to save for the big TV.

Most apps let you fix a quality or choose a data-saving mode. The Picture quality guide explains the settings.

Subtitles and audio

Every major service includes subtitles in several languages, timed and translated for its own copy of the title. Switching them on takes a moment: open the speech-bubble or audio menu in the player and pick a language.

Subtitles are especially useful on HDfy's own specialities. Stand-up comedians talk fast over laughter, documentaries record voices in the field, and anime offers the Japanese soundtrack with subtitles as well as dubs.

The original language of every title is shown on its page. The Subtitles and audio guide has more.

Data on mobile

Watching on mobile data is common, so the numbers help: an hour of standard definition uses under a gigabyte, an hour of 1080p about three, and 4K several times more.

Every major app has a mobile data setting. Choose a data-saving mode on the move and the best quality on Wi-Fi, and your plan will last much longer.

Stand-up specials are a good choice for a commute: most run about an hour and work perfectly well at a lower resolution.

Downloads

Most major services let you download films, episodes and specials inside their apps, to watch later on a plane, a train or anywhere the signal drops.

Downloads stay available while your subscription is active, with a viewing window once you start, and you can pick the quality to save space.

A season of Silo or a few documentaries downloaded over home Wi-Fi make a long journey much shorter.

HDfy on a phone

On a phone, HDfy keeps the same look in a narrower frame. The rail folds into the gold Menu button, the search box drops below the logo, and rows become swipeable strips of slightly smaller posters.

The billboard stays at the top with the featured film, its details and its buttons, and the thumbnails strip scrolls sideways under it.

For one-tap access, add HDfy to your home screen from the browser menu. Titles play in each service's official app. The Apps and devices guide explains more.

On the television

The big screen is where many titles belong. The simplest route is to choose a title on your phone, then open it in the same service's app on your smart TV or streaming stick.

Chromecast and AirPlay send a title from phone to TV in one tap, and the phone becomes the remote.

HDfy also opens in a TV's web browser, where its dark background and large posters are easy to read from the sofa.

My List

My List keeps the titles you want to watch. Press Add to My List on any title page, and the title joins the My List page with the same posters as everywhere else.

For series, My List also shows Where you left off, the episode you marked with Reached this episode, with a link back to its season.

The list lives in your browser and works right away. Export My List saves a small file you can import on another device. The My List guide has more.

Collections

Collections are ready-made shelves. HDfy's specialities each have one: Stand-up comedy specials, Documentaries, Docuseries, Anime, Anime series and Anime films.

Films are grouped into action and adventure, horror and thrillers, sci-fi and fantasy, comedy, drama, animation and family, and superheroes; series into crime and drama, sci-fi and fantasy, and comedy; and both into the 2020s and the 2010s.

The Collections page lists every shelf with its number of titles.

Free and legal

Watching free and legally is possible in most countries. YouTube, Tubi, Pluto TV and Plex carry free films and series with adverts, and India has free sections on JioHotstar and MX Player.

Many comedians post full sets or long clips on their official YouTube channels, and public broadcasters such as BBC iPlayer, SBS On Demand and ABC iview stream documentaries free.

Watch now marks free options for your country. The Free and legal guide lists more.

Official services

Netflix carries many stand-up specials and docuseries, Prime Video carries Reacher and The Boys, and Disney+ and JioHotstar carry Marvel, Pixar and many series. Crunchyroll carries most current anime.

In the United States, Max, Peacock, Paramount+ and Apple TV add their own libraries; in India, ZEE5 and SonyLIV add Indian cinema; in the United Kingdom and Australia, the public broadcasters add free titles.

Watch now lists every option for a title on one page. The Official services guide compares them.

The official HDfy

This HDfy has one fixed address, shown in your browser, and its own layout, writing and title pages. Bookmark it or add it to your home screen and it always opens with your country and My List in place.

Look-alike pages are easy to spot by their pop-ups and app prompts. The Official site and Site status guides explain what to check.

Every Watch now button on HDfy leads to JustWatch and official services.

Staying safe

HDfy shows posters, details and links to JustWatch and official services, and every button goes exactly where its label says.

Official services protect your device and pay the people who make films, series, specials and anime, from studio crews to stand-up comedians and animators.

Elsewhere, leave any page that opens windows on its own or asks for card details. The Safety guide has a short list of warning signs.

How HDfy chooses its titles

HDfy's catalogue follows the five rows. Films come from this year's releases and from the most popular titles of the last decade and more, and series from the English-language shows audiences keep watching.

Stand-up specials come from the comedy keyword on TMDB, documentaries from the documentary genre, and anime from Japanese animated films and series.

HDfy is a catalogue for a general audience. Titles sold on sexual content and anime built on fan-service are left out, so every row is comfortable to browse with anyone nearby.

Where the information comes from

Posters, backdrops, titles, synopses, genres, runtimes, seasons, episodes, casts and audience scores come from TMDB, the community film and television database.

Where to watch comes from JustWatch, updated daily for every country. The help pages and this guide are written for HDfy.

The catalogue is refreshed regularly, so new films, seasons and specials arrive and scores settle as votes come in.

Where to start

New to HDfy? Start with the billboard and the thumbnails strip under it, then scroll the rows until something catches your eye. The stand-up row is a good place for a quick laugh, and the documentaries row for something true.

If you know the title, type it in the search box. If you know the mood, use the left menu, the collections or the filters on the search page.

When you find it, press Watch now to see where it plays in HD in your country, and save the next one to My List. Enjoy the show.

How the rows are ordered

Each row on the home page is sorted to show what is new first. The movie row follows release dates, newest first, while the TV, documentary and anime rows follow the date of the latest episode, so a series that has just returned for a new season moves to the front.

The stand-up row follows the release date of each special, which keeps the newest sets at the start. Top rated is the exception: it follows the audience score, so it changes slowly and always shows the titles people love most.

Because the rows update with the catalogue, the home page looks a little different every week, even when your favourites stay close at hand in My List.

More comedians on HDfy

Beyond the headliners, the stand-up shelf covers a wide range of styles. Ricky Gervais: Armageddon and Ricky Gervais: Mortality bring British bite, Jimmy Carr: Natural Born Killer is built on rapid one-liners, and Bill Burr: Paper Tiger and Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years are pure storytelling rants.

Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love, Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking, Marc Maron: Panicked and Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs show how different a single microphone can sound, and Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe is observational comedy at its most relaxed.

Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only pairs two stars on one bill, and The Roast of Kevin Hart turns the tables on one of them.

Planning a comedy night

Stand-up specials make easy evenings because each one stands alone. A good plan is two specials of about an hour each, with a short break between them, and HDfy's row makes choosing quick.

Mix a big arena show with a smaller club set: Kevin Hart: What Now? followed by Your Friend, Nate Bargatze, or Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones followed by Taylor Tomlinson: Prodigal Daughter. Each special page shows its runtime, so you can see exactly how long the night will be.

Save the pair to My List in the afternoon and the evening is ready when you are.

Music on film

Music documentaries sit in the documentary row alongside sport and nature. The Greatest Night in Pop goes inside the famous all-night recording session of 1985, and Ennio tells the life of the composer Ennio Morricone through his film scores.

Pop portraits include Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry, which follows the making of her first album, and Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, an honest account of fame and health.

Everybody’s Everything remembers the rapper Lil Peep. Each of them makes a good companion to an evening of stand-up or a long series.

Behind the screen

Some documentaries look behind the making of films and series people already love. Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts reunites the cast, Friends: The Reunion brings the six friends back to their sets, and Game of Thrones: The Last Watch follows the crew through the final season.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return goes behind the Star Wars series, and Marvel Studios Assembled and Marvel Studios Legends cover the Marvel films and series episode by episode.

They pair naturally with the titles they celebrate, which makes them easy additions to My List.

History and big questions

The documentary shelf also covers history and ideas. The Vietnam War tells the story of the conflict across ten films, and Rise of Empires: Ottoman dramatises the fall of Constantinople.

Human gathers voices from around the world, Flee tells a refugee's story through animation, and Amend: The Fight for America traces a constitutional amendment through American history.

Unsolved Mysteries brings back the classic format of real cases waiting for an answer, a good choice for a late evening.

Anime for action fans

Action fans have a strong anime shelf. Solo Leveling follows a weak hunter who becomes the strongest, Kaiju No. 8 turns a monster-cleanup worker into a monster himself, and Attack on Titan builds a war story behind giant walls.

Tokyo Ghoul and Sword Art Online are long-running favourites, Overlord and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime follow heroes reborn in fantasy worlds, and Classroom of the Elite turns school into a strategy game.

All of them have season pages with dated episodes, so you can pick up exactly where you stopped.

Anime comedy and romance

Anime is just as good at laughs and romance. SPY x FAMILY is warm and funny, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War turns a crush into a battle of wits, and Rent-a-Girlfriend is a comedy of awkward dates.

Mob Psycho 100 mixes psychic battles with gentle comedy about growing up, and Haikyu!! turns volleyball into pure excitement.

For a first taste of anime, these are easier starting points than the long action epics, and many are available with both subtitles and dubs.

A Studio Ghibli evening

Studio Ghibli films are among the most loved animated films anywhere, and HDfy has several of them. Spirited Away is the place to start, followed by Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo.

Arrietty and When Marnie Was There are quieter stories from later years, and The Boy and the Heron is Hayao Miyazaki's most recent film.

They work for every age, which makes them perfect for a family evening. Most services offer both the Japanese soundtrack with subtitles and a dubbed version.

Family evenings

Family nights are easy with HDfy's animation. Inside Out, Coco, Big Hero 6 and The Wild Robot suit everyone from young children to grandparents.

For a comedy night with children, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Minions & Monsters are safe choices, and Young Sheldon works for families with older children.

Nature series such as Our Planet and Prehistoric Planet are another good choice: short episodes, beautiful pictures and something to talk about afterwards.

Series marathons

Some series are best watched in long runs. Better Call Saul rewards patience across six seasons, The Expanse builds a whole solar system over six, and Outlander follows one couple through decades.

For shorter commitments, True Detective and Fargo tell a complete story each season, and Loki and Silo have short seasons that fit a weekend.

Mark your place with Reached this episode as you go, and HDfy keeps track between sessions.

New episodes

The latest episodes page lists new episodes from every series on HDfy by air date, newest first. It is the quickest way to see which of your shows has something new.

Each entry links to the right season page, where the new episode sits at the bottom of the list with its title and date.

Series that premiere a whole season at once appear with all their episodes on the same day, while weekly shows add one at a time.

Top IMDb and scores

The number in the corner of each poster is the TMDB audience score out of ten. The Top IMDb page ranks the hundred highest-scoring titles with at least five hundred votes, films and series together.

TMDB and IMDb scores usually agree on older titles and can differ a little on new ones while votes arrive. Stand-up specials and documentaries often score very well because their audiences choose them with care.

The Top rated row on the home page shows the first fourteen of the list.

Genres, years and languages

The genre pages list every title in a genre, from action to western, and most titles appear in more than one. The documentary genre page is another way into the documentaries row.

Year pages group titles by release year, and language pages by original language, which puts English, Japanese, Korean and other languages each on their own page.

The A-Z page lists every title in alphabetical order, handy for stand-up specials, which are usually named after the comedian.

Easy to use

HDfy is built to be easy with a mouse, a finger or a keyboard. Every poster, button and menu item can be reached with the Tab key, and the play button appears on focus just as it does on hover.

Text sits on dark backgrounds with strong contrast, and the gold used for buttons and highlights is paired with white text.

A skip link at the top of every page jumps straight to the content, past the menu.

Five evenings on HDfy

A sports night: The Last Dance followed by an episode of Formula 1: Drive to Survive. A nature night: Planet Earth II on the biggest screen in the house.

A comedy night: Bo Burnham: Inside and Ali Wong: Baby Cobra. An anime night: Frieren: Beyond Journey's End for a few episodes, then Your Name..

A blockbuster night: Dune followed by Dune: Part Two. Save each plan to My List and the evening is ready.

Horror and suspense

Horror fans will find a steady supply of scares on HDfy. The Conjuring follows the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren into a haunted farmhouse, and it remains one of the most effective haunted-house films of its decade.

New arrivals keep the shelf fresh, from Insidious: Out of the Further and Evil Dead Burn to Backrooms, which turns an internet legend into a feature film. On the television side, FROM and Stranger Things bring slow-building dread over whole seasons.

The Horror and thrillers collection lists every one, and each page shows its runtime so you know how long the lights will be off.

Westerns and wide open spaces

Modern westerns have found a large audience on television, and HDfy follows them. Yellowstone follows the Dutton family and their Montana ranch across five seasons of land disputes, politics and family loyalty.

Westworld reimagines the western as science fiction, with a theme park of artificial hosts who start to remember, and Tulsa King brings a New York gangster into the plains of Oklahoma.

On the film side, Django Unchained is Quentin Tarantino's take on the genre, full of style and sharp dialogue.

Sport beyond the documentaries

Sport runs through more of HDfy than the documentary row. Top Gun: Maverick puts viewers in the cockpit, and the anime Haikyu!! shows why volleyball has so many fans.

Ted Lasso is a comedy about football and kindness, and Undertaker: The Last Ride follows a wrestling legend through the final years of his career.

For a full sports evening, pair The Last Dance with a racing weekend from Formula 1: Drive to Survive and save both to My List.

The featured strip

Under the billboard, a strip of small posters shows the other featured titles. It is a quick way to see what HDfy is highlighting this week before scrolling down to the rows.

The strip mixes kinds on purpose: a new film, a popular series, an anime season, a stand-up special and a documentary sit next to each other, the same variety the rows offer further down.

Each small poster opens its title page, and its border turns gold when you point at it.

The See all pages

Every row ends with a See all tile, and every row heading has a See all link. Both open the full page behind the row, where every title appears in a grid of posters.

The movie row opens the Latest page with every film by release date, the TV row opens the latest series page, and the stand-up, documentary and anime rows open their collections.

These pages use the same posters and play button as the rows, so moving between them feels natural.

The ideas behind HDfy

HDfy is built on the idea that a good evening can start from many kinds of title. Some nights call for a two-hour film, others for an hour of stand-up, a nature documentary or three episodes of an anime series.

Giving each kind its own row keeps the choice clear, and the single Watch now button keeps the path to watching the same whatever you pick.

The design is dark so posters stand out, and gold marks the actions: play, watch and the page you are on.

Your data on HDfy

HDfy keeps very little about you, and all of it in your own browser. My List, your viewing country and the episodes you marked are saved in local storage on your device.

Export My List creates a small file you keep, and Import a saved copy reads it back on another device. Clearing the site's data in your browser settings empties everything at once.

Posters load from TMDB's image servers and the font from Google Fonts. The privacy page explains the details.

Finding more

When a title you want is missing from the rows, search is the next step, because the catalogue is larger than the home page shows. Genre, year and language pages open more of it.

The catalogue grows with each refresh, adding new releases, new seasons and new specials as they arrive.

Watch now also works for titles on other shelves, so once a title is on HDfy, the path to watching it is always the same.

A week on HDfy

A simple plan uses every row across the week. Start on Monday with a stand-up special, try a documentary on Tuesday, and follow a series from Wednesday to Friday.

Save the weekend for a new film from the movie row and an anime film such as Suzume or Weathering with You on Sunday.

My List keeps the whole plan in one place, and Reached this episode keeps the series on track.

Your first visit

On a first visit, HDfy is ready at once: the home page opens straight to the billboard and the rows, and every title can be opened and explored at once.

The only choice to make is your viewing country, the first time you press Watch now. After that, HDfy remembers it on every title page, and My List starts saving as soon as you add a title.

From there, the menu rail, the search box and the rows are all you need to find tonight's film, show, special or anime.

Questions
