APlay 1.2

A capable player.
A simple way to watch.

Local videos, network media and the controls that make the difference. Get to know Avora APlay for Mac.

FILES & CONNECTIONS

Your media,
where you keep it.

Local video: Open MKV, MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM and other popular containers. Drag a file from Finder or use File → Open. Compatibility depends on the codecs inside the container.
NAS and shared folders: Browse SMB / Samba and WebDAV servers. Discover local servers and save connections for later.
Media URLs: Open direct HTTP, HTTPS, HLS and SMB media URLs. APlay is a media player; a website page URL is not necessarily a playable media URL.
Hardware decoding: Playback built for Apple silicon, with hardware decoding for supported media. Performance depends on the source file and your Mac.

PLAYBACK & PICTURE

Seeking and speed: Preview in the full picture while seeking, use arrow-key controls, choose playback speeds from 0.5× to 3×, or step backward and forward frame by frame with the comma and period keys.
Zoom and pan: Zoom from 100% to 800% with trackpad pinch or the mouse wheel. Pan with two fingers or the middle mouse button. An on-screen indicator shows the current zoom.
Aspect ratio and color: Choose automatic sizing or aspect ratios including 16:9, 4:3 and 21:9. Use picture styles or adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma, temperature and tint.
HDR output: HDR and XDR support on compatible displays. The result depends on the source media, your display and macOS settings. Website screenshots use SDR demonstration media.
Subtitles: Switch embedded tracks or load external SRT, ASS, SSA and VTT subtitles. Adjust timing to keep dialogue and text together.
Audio: Switch audio tracks, play multi-channel audio up to 7.1 and adjust volume up to 400%. Available output depends on your audio device and the source.

BUILT FOR MAC

Mini player: A floating window that fits portrait and landscape videos, keeping playback close while you use other apps.
History and resume: Pick up from your last position. Manage or clear playback history and change history-saving and resume preferences in Settings.
Native appearance: Choose appearance and language preferences. Native Liquid Glass controls are available on macOS 26 and later. The app interface supports 24 languages.
System requirements: macOS 14 or later. A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later). Intel Macs are not supported.
No account required: Open and play without an APlay account or a media-library import. Local playback works without a network connection. Read the privacy policy.
