What it does

Built for watching, not managing.

Hover controls, seek shortcuts, speed controls, screenshots, looping, and track switching.

Avalonia UI with a compact custom title bar and a simple local-media workflow.

Stream to nearby Chromecast devices with automatic discovery, format support detection, and full playback control.

Automatically resume playback from where you left off, and create bookmarks to jump to your favourite moments instantly.
