The features

Make every session
your own.

A focused set of controls for watching, listening, and finding your place. These describe the current development app; release validation is still in progress.

A comfortable place to watch

Video playback with direct, familiar controls.

  • Open files, folders, and local drag-and-drop media.
  • Fit or fill the view, adjust aspect ratio, zoom, rotation, and crop.
  • Step through frames and save screenshots; previous-frame stepping is best effort.

More say in how you listen

Choose the sound and pace that work for you.

  • Select audio tracks and output devices.
  • Adjust speed, audio timing, equalizer, and processing controls.
  • Use bookmarks and the sleep timer for longer listening sessions.

Bring the words into focus

Subtitle controls that stay close to the video.

  • Choose embedded tracks or attach an external subtitle file.
  • Adjust subtitle timing in 0.1-second steps.
  • Change style and encoding through the available dialogs.

Keep the next thing ready

A queue you can build as you go.

  • Add files or folders without replacing your current queue.
  • Put selected media next and manage playlists.
  • Use history and bookmarks to return to a moment.

A keyboard-friendly rhythm

Make familiar actions easy to reach.

  • Space to play or pause, arrows to seek, and F for full screen.
  • Explore named actions through the Commands menu.
  • Search the shortcut editor and save your own supported bindings.

A desktop-first foundation

A native app built with Qt 6 Quick and libmpv.

  • Current development and automated testing focus on Windows.
  • macOS and Linux release validation remains ahead.
  • Hardware decoding availability depends on the media, device, and driver.

Playable formats depend on the source and decoder. A filename extension alone is not a playback guarantee.
