Cinematic color for every video. Reference-grade grading, real-time upscaling, HDR playback, and video scopes — free to play, and Kuro PRO unlocks the pro color tools.
Kuro is a native macOS video player built for accurate color. It plays a wide range of formats through libmpv and adds a full real-time color-grading and monitoring pipeline powered by Metal — matched to a professional Rec.709 / Gamma 2.4 reference, control by control.
