myVideoDrawer

About this app

This simple app provides a widget that displays videos (with posters or cover art), in an easy-to-use interface, similar to Netflix, Plex, or Prime Video. It shows video thumbnails or poster images for videos found in a selected folder.

I originally created this app for my young child. It's perfect for preloading videos onto a device for long trips, camping, shopping, or anywhere you might not have access to streaming.

myVideoDrawer is a launcher only; It doesn’t play videos directly. Instead, it opens the video using the player you've set as default on your device (or the stock player if none is set).

While myVideoDrawer scans for many common video formats, your device must be able to decode the video for proper playback.
