Home Video Player library with cover art

Sources

Everywhere your films already live.

Add a drive or a server once — everything lands in one library.

  • USB and external SSD

    Plug it in, browse it, play instantly. No import, no iTunes sync, no cloud upload.

  • NAS over SMB

    Your shares appear as sources. Passwords stay in the Keychain, never on our side.

  • Jellyfin, Emby, WebDAV

    Connect the server and play straight from the file — the way it was encoded.

  • Your photo library

    Everything you filmed opens in the same player. Originals stay in Photos.

Engine

Your server stops transcoding.

Demuxing and decoding are ours — written from scratch in Swift, on top of VideoToolbox.

The formats that make a server fire up its CPU are decoded here, on your device.

  • VC-1
  • MPEG-2
  • XviD
  • VP9
  • AV1
  • DTS
  • TrueHD
  • FLAC
  • 4K HEVC

Software decoding goes up to 4K.

Library

A library that sorts itself.

Seasons, cover art and progress — without you filing anything.

A season downloading from a NAS
  • Seasons and episodes are detected automatically and stay in the right order.
  • Download a season and take it on the plane. A dropped connection resumes from the last byte.
  • Continue watching gathers every source into one shelf, on every device you own.

Formats

Will my file play?

Almost certainly — and if not, you get a reason instead of a black screen.

  • MKV
  • MP4
  • AVI
  • TS
  • M2TS
  • WebM
  • MPEG
  • VOB
  • WMV
  • FLV
  • H.264
  • HEVC
  • AV1
  • VP9
  • MPEG-2
  • XviD
  • VC-1
  • MJPEG
  • DTS
  • TrueHD
  • E-AC-3
  • FLAC
  • WMA
  • SRT
  • ASS
  • PGS

RM, VC-1 inside TS and software codecs above 4K return an honest error. That is a policy, not a bug.

Language

Tap a word. Read the translation.

Not one player in this category does it.

Translation on your device works offline; switch the online AI on when context and quality matter.

Every word you tap is saved with its full sentence, the episode and the exact moment — searchable, reviewable, exportable to CSV.

Privacy

We know nothing about you.

  • Data Not Collected

    Apple's own privacy label. No analytics, no trackers, no profile of you anywhere.

  • Your iCloud, not our server

    Watch history, settings and your servers sync through your own private database.

  • Keychain

    Server passwords and tokens stay on your devices. We never see them.

Price

One purchase, every device.

Subtitle translation and smart titles in the library are done by AI on our servers — that's a separate monthly plan. If you have your own Google Gemini key, you don't need the plan.
