KEY FEATURES
• Play Almost Any Format
Play MKV, MP4, AVI, WebM, TS, FLV, MOV and more, with modern codec support including HEVC and AV1.

Enjoy high-resolution video with hardware-accelerated decoding, HDR auto-detection, and tone mapping.

Create and manage M3U playlists, scan folders, keep playback history, and resume videos where you left off.
• Audio & Subtitles
Switch audio and subtitle tracks, load external SRT, ASS, SSA, and VTT subtitles, and display two subtitle tracks at the same time.
• Video Adjustments
Fine-tune brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma, and hue. Rotate, crop, and choose custom aspect ratios.
• 10-Band Equalizer
Shape your sound with a 10-band equalizer and presets for classical, acoustic, electronic, rock, and pop.

Use A-B loop, chapter navigation, playback speed control, thumbnail scrubbing, and one-click screenshots.
• Mini Player & Shortcuts
Use mini player mode, customize keyboard shortcuts, and enable loop or shuffle playback.
PRIVACY FIRST
Playback history, playlists, and settings are stored locally on your Mac. No personal information is collected, no data is uploaded, and no network access is required.
Tips & Notes
• Drag and drop a video file, or a whole folder, onto the window to start playing right away.
• Scan a folder once and the app keeps an M3U playlist that follows your library as it grows.
• Playback position is remembered per file, so you can quit and resume exactly where you stopped.
• Load two subtitle tracks at once — ideal for language learning or dual-language releases.
• If subtitles drift out of sync, nudge the delay in milliseconds without re-encoding anything.
• Hardware decoding keeps 4K HDR playback smooth; switch to software decoding if a file shows artefacts.
• The 10-band equalizer ships with presets for classical, acoustic, electronic, rock and pop.
• Set an A–B loop to repeat one scene, one riff or one drill over and over.
• Hover the timeline to preview thumbnails before you commit to a seek.
• Use the mini player or picture-in-picture to keep watching while you work in another app.
• Every shortcut can be rebound, so the player fits the way you already work.
• Playback speed runs from 0.25× to 4× with pitch correction, so voices stay natural.
• Grab a still frame with one keystroke — no screen recorder needed.
• Rotate, crop and pick a custom aspect ratio for footage shot on phones or action cameras.
• Nothing is uploaded and no network access is required: your library, history and settings stay on your Mac.
