Zwind is more than a file server or player. It is a lightweight workspace with built-in WebDAV Browser, Web Browser, Feed View, Video Player, Music Player, Image Viewer, Text Editor, Markdown Reader, Bookmarks, and more. Map content into Zwind instead of copying it into the app, then read, play, edit, search, cast, or continue in third-party WebDAV clients and players. Background WebDAV server operation is supported.

Supported resolvers: * RSS Projection: RSS, Atom, podcasts, and OPML imports as readable feed resources. * Quark Search Import: search and save supported Quark Drive shares. * Web Media Projection: parse web media sites into clean virtual folders, so webpage media can be browsed, read, or played like files. * Emby Library Projection: browse Emby libraries as WebDAV directories with metadata, filters, pagination, search, and playback.
