Candy Shorts on your computer: watching in a desktop browser
Candy Shorts are vertical videos, and a laptop screen is wide. They still work well on a computer once you know how the player behaves, which keys do what, and how your account carries over from your phone.
Quick answer
Open Candy AI in any desktop browser, go to Shorts and press play on episode 1. It runs in a tall player centred in the window, no login needed. Episode 2 needs a free account, which you can share with your phone. Episode 3 onwards costs tokens or Premium, exactly as on mobile; nothing extra unlocks on a computer.
Every character is an AI-generated adult (18+) and fictional. No real performers, no filmed footage, nothing hosted here.
Which browser, and nothing to install
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all run Candy AI without extensions. There is no desktop program and nothing in the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store. If a page offers a Candy Shorts installer for Windows or Mac, it is not from Candy AI and should be closed. Allow the site to play video; that is the only setting that matters. If the video area stays blank, pausing an ad blocker for the site is the first thing to try.
The vertical player in a wide window
The player keeps its upright shape and sits in the middle of the page with dark space on both sides. At full window width on a laptop it is roughly the size of a phone held at arm's length. Making the window narrower makes the video taller, up to the height of the screen. The browser's full screen mode (F11 on Windows, Control Command F on Mac) gives the largest picture. Episode titles and the lock or token labels sit beneath the player, so you can see where the free episodes end.
Keyboard controls
- Space: pause and resume.
- Up and down arrows, or scrolling: previous and next episode, the same as swiping on a phone.
- M: mute and unmute.
- F: toggle the player's own full screen, where Candy AI provides it.
- Escape: leave full screen or close a prompt.
Series to start with
One account, several devices
A free Candy AI account is not tied to a device. Create it on your laptop and log in on your phone, or the other way round; episode 2 is unlocked everywhere, and the player remembers where you stopped. There is no device limit. If you later buy tokens or Premium, they attach to the account too. Creating and deleting the account is covered in free account for episode 2.
What the free part gives you on a computer
Exactly what it gives on a phone. Episode 1 of every series with a free episode plays logged out after the age confirmation. Episode 2 plays with the free account on series marked with two free episodes. Everything from episode 3 costs 12 tokens per episode on most series, 30 or 50 on a few, or a Premium plan at 3.99 USD per month over 12 months, 8.99 USD per month over 3 months, or 9.99 USD then 13.99 USD monthly. A bigger screen changes nothing about the paywall.
Four series to open on the big screen
The Prince's Last Week Unwed is a costume piece that benefits from a larger picture: five episodes, two free, 12 tokens. Our Host Is Riley Reid is the digital twin series, five episodes, two free, 30 tokens each after that. The Witch Who Made Me King and Don't Tell Your Mother! both offer two free episodes of five, at 12 tokens. The full list is on the series page.

Is there a Candy Shorts program for Windows or Mac?
No. Candy AI runs in the browser. Any installer offered for Candy Shorts is from a third party and should not be run.
Do I get more free episodes on a computer?
No. The free allowance is per series and per account: episode 1 logged out, episode 2 with a free account. The device makes no difference.
Can I use my phone account on my laptop?
Yes. Log in with the same email and episode 2, your progress and any tokens are there. The free account has no device limit.
Why is the video so narrow?
Candy Shorts are shot upright for phones. On a wide screen the player keeps that shape and centres itself. Narrowing the window or using full screen makes it taller.
