libmpv at the core. HEVC, DTS, EAC3, 4K, program guide — all local, all fast. Bring your own M3U playlist or XMLTV guide.
Every feature designed around the act of switching streams, searching, scheduling, and watching — not around selling you ads or upsells.
HEVC, AV1, DTS, EAC3, MKV, 4K. libmpv handles codecs natively — no stutter, no fallback.
Stream switches don't tear down the pipeline. Switching feels instant.
12-hour timeline grid built from your XMLTV file. Tap any programme to schedule a recording.
Pick a show, ffmpeg copy-codec captures it. No re-encoding, no quality loss.
Live + Film + Series with debounce, history and trending.
Detects sibling cameras of the same event automatically.
Keep a second stream floating while you work.
PIN lock, category filter, daily time limit.
No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Your playlist stays on your device.
Because most playlist players on the market are Electron wrappers with tracking, paywalls, and broken codec support. Nightmare is different by design.
Not Electron. libmpv talks to the GPU directly. Less RAM, less heat, more frames.
Your playlist, credentials and watch history never leave your PC. Sentry is opt-in.
HEVC, DTS, EAC3, PGS subs, AV1. All the things free players choke on.
No banner ads, no data partners, no "Pro upsell" every five minutes. One clean app.
All plans include every feature and every future update. Activate on up to 2 devices. Cancel anytime on subscription plans.
