Panura: Video Browser, TV Cast
Web player with subtitles
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: cast videos from your phone to Chromecast with your choice of audio language and subtitles. Panura finds the video on any page and plays it ad-free.
Panura is a web browser and a video player in one. What plays on a page and what
is already on your phone open in the same player — full screen, free of the
page's ads and pop-ups.
Browse to a page, press play, and Panura finds the stream the page is playing.
Or open the Videos tab, where the same player opens your library. Either way you
get real controls, a picture that fills the screen properly, and subtitles you
can size, colour and re-encode until they are readable.
BUILT-IN BROWSER
• Ad and pop-up blocking, so a page that opens six tabs opens none
• Private mode that keeps nothing once you leave it
• Desktop mode for sites that hide their player from phones
• Bookmarks, history and Watch Later, with the address bar where your thumb is
YOUR PHONE'S VIDEOS
• Every video in your photo library, in a grid or a list
• Albums, search, and sorting by name, date or size
• Length and file size on every row, and delete without leaving the app
• iCloud videos play too — Panura fetches them at full quality when you tap
• The same player, the same gestures, the same subtitle settings
• Add any of them to Watch Later, beside the pages you saved
THE PLAYER
• Plays what other players refuse: HLS, MP4, MKV, AVI, and more
• Gestures for seek, brightness, volume and hold-to-speed
• Pinch to zoom and move the picture inside the frame
• Subtitle control that goes past on and off: size, font, colour, outline,
background, and the character encoding that fixes garbled non-English files
• Audio and subtitle track switching, with sidecar subtitles found on the page
• Picture in Picture, so the video follows you out of the app
• Background audio, resume where you left off, and a sleep timer
PLAY ON TV
• Cast to a Chromecast, or to Panura on an Android TV
• Videos from your phone cast too — pick the audio language, and built-in subtitles come along
• Subtitles show on the TV, from the page or from the file
• Videos whose sound comes separately are combined on your phone, so they play on TVs that refuse them otherwise
• Control playback from a bar at the bottom of every screen, even with your phone locked
• Discovery runs on your own network and stops when you leave the screen
WHAT PANURA DOES NOT DO
• No account, ever. Nothing to sign up for
• No downloading of anything you browse to
• No ad tracking. Your history, bookmarks and resume positions stay on the
device and are deleted with the app
Panura is a player and a browser. It hosts no content of its own, indexes
nothing, and only ever opens the pages you ask it to.
