About this app

UnitPlayer plays your videos and your music: the files on your phone, the shares on your NAS or computer, and what you're watching on the TV. Lossless music with synced lyrics, gestures you already know, no account and no ads.

Small, lovely apps and games. Free, no ads, and private — your data stays on your own devices.

Music
• Lossless and everything else: FLAC (up to 24-bit / 192 kHz), ALAC, APE, WavPack, TTA, TAK, DSD, WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, Opus; whole-album files with a .cue play as separate songs
• USB DACs (USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0): on Android 14 and later, play at each song's own sample rate, or bit-perfect where your phone supports it
• Synced lyrics from .lrc files or the song itself: word by word, with translations; tap a line to jump there
• Albums, artists, folders and your own playlists; queue, shuffle, repeat, no gaps between songs
• 10-band equalizer and ReplayGain volume levelling
• Sound tuning: parametric EQ (imports AutoEq and EqualizerAPO files), left-right balance, headphone crossfeed, pitch
• Swipe the cover to skip; the playing screen follows your finger and takes its colors from the cover; swipe songs out of the queue, with undo
• Plays in the background, with controls in the notification and on the lock screen
• Old Chinese, Japanese and Korean song tags show correctly instead of gibberish

Gestures that feel natural
• Swipe left or right to seek; up or down for brightness (left) and volume (right)
• Double-tap the sides to skip 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds; taps add up
• Hold to play at 2× until you let go; lock the controls against accidental touches
• Pinch to fill the screen or go back to the original size

Your home network
• SMB (Windows and Mac file sharing, most NAS boxes), WebDAV, FTP, SFTP (password or private key) and DLNA media servers, for videos and music
• Servers on your Wi-Fi are found by themselves, and an SMB server lists its shared folders: nothing to type
• A second address for when you're away from home, and Wake-on-LAN for a sleeping NAS
• .strm files, .m3u playlists and video links, including HLS (.m3u8)
• Share a web page from your browser to play the plain video file on it; nothing is downloaded
• Send videos from a computer's browser to the phone over Wi-Fi

Play on a TV
• Cast to TVs and boxes on your Wi-Fi (DLNA) and carry on from where you are
• The phone becomes the remote: play, pause, seek and the TV's volume

Subtitles and sound
• Subtitle files next to a video load by themselves (.srt, .ass, .vtt, .ttml, Blu-ray .sup)
• Subtitle timing, size, color, background and edges; forced subtitles only, if you like
• Separate audio files, stereo downmix for 5.1/7.1, volume boost up to +10 dB
• "Only the sound": keep a video's sound playing when you leave the app, like music

Made for Android
• Picture-in-picture, aspect ratio, speed from 0.5× to 2×, a sleep timer that fades out, headset and Bluetooth buttons
• Light, dark and pure black themes, a saving mode with fewer animations; in 9 languages
• Start every video muted, with a switch in Settings

Private space
• Move videos from your phone into an encrypted space; other apps, the gallery and file managers can't read them
• Different passwords or patterns open different spaces, and one space can open with your fingerprint
• Videos are decrypted as they play and never saved decrypted; the space locks when you leave the app or the screen goes off
• Forgot the password? Reset it with your recovery code or key file. We have no server and can't open your space

Privacy
UnitPlayer collects nothing. Your videos, music, history and logins stay on your phone; logins are stored encrypted and sent only to the server they belong to.

If you like it, you can buy the developer a coffee in Settings › About, through Google Play. Entirely up to you: it works the same either way.

Free forever. No ads, ever.

What’s new

New in 1.10: Private space. Videos are encrypted on your phone; different passwords or patterns open different spaces, and one space can open with your fingerprint. They're decrypted only as they play. Forgot the password? Use your recovery code or key file. Also new: a switch to start videos muted, and a storage page. Free forever. No ads, ever.
