Home Video Player

Now a client for your whole library: Jellyfin, Emby, SMB and WebDAV — played straight from the file, no transcoding. On iPhone too. Subtitles translate on tap.

Every video you own — on your iPad, iPhone and Mac. From your photo library, a USB drive, your NAS, or a Jellyfin or Emby server. Played as it is: no converting, no transcoding, nothing re-encoded.

YOUR SERVER STOPS TRANSCODING Connect Jellyfin, Emby, SMB or WebDAV and play straight from the file. VC-1, MPEG-2, XviD, VP9, DTS, TrueHD — the formats that make a server fire up its CPU are decoded here, on your device. Nothing is re-encoded, so nothing is lost.

PLUG IN A DRIVE Plug in a USB drive or external SSD, browse it, and play instantly — no import, no iTunes sync, no cloud upload.

THE VIDEOS YOU SHOT YOURSELF Add your photo library and everything you filmed — or saved from a messenger — opens with the same player: gestures, speed, Picture in Picture, AirPlay. Nothing is copied and nothing is uploaded: the originals stay in Photos, and clips kept in iCloud are fetched only when you press play.

A LIBRARY THAT SORTS ITSELF Seasons and episodes are detected automatically and stay in the right order. Cover art and metadata for movies and shows. Continue Watching gathers every source into one shelf — finish an episode and the next one takes its place.

DOWNLOAD FOR THE FLIGHT Take a season from your NAS or server into your pocket. A dropped connection resumes from the last byte, and a download never slows down what you're watching.

TAP TO TRANSLATE Tap any word in the subtitles for an instant translation. Apple's on-device translator works offline; turn on online AI for context-aware quality. A whole subtitle track can be translated into a language the file doesn't have.

VOCABULARY JOURNAL Every word you tap is saved with its full sentence, episode and exact moment. Search it, review it, export to CSV.

EVERY DEVICE IN SYNC Watch history, settings and your servers travel through your own private iCloud — start on iPad, finish on iPhone. Passwords never leave your Keychain.

ALL THE FORMATS MKV, MP4, AVI, TS, M2TS, WebM, MPEG, WMV, FLV. 4K HEVC and H.264, multiple audio tracks, embedded subtitles, speed 0.5x–2x, Picture in Picture and AirPlay. An audio track lying beside the movie as a separate file is picked up too: choose it in the menu, nudge its delay by ear. And when a file can't play, the app tells you why instead of guessing.

YOUR FILES STAY YOURS No account, no analytics, no profile of you anywhere. Your files stay on your devices and in your own iCloud — nothing is uploaded to us.

AI SERVICES Translate a whole subtitle track into a language the file never had. Turn messy release names into clean titles. Translation on your device works offline; switch the online AI on when you want context and quality.
