Edendale is a free, open-source video player and personal watch tracker for iPhone and iPad. It plays the movies and shows you already own and turns them into a beautiful private library: no account, no ads, no analytics. PLAY YOUR OWN VIDEO - Open individual video files, import whole folders, or connect your own network shares (SMB). - Smooth playback with gesture controls, chapters, playlists, and audio and subtitle track selection. - Search and load online subtitles on demand, or use the tracks already inside your files. A LIBRARY WITH REAL DETAIL - Edendale reads your filenames locally, then optionally enriches them with metadata from TMDB. - Browse movies, shows, seasons, episodes, cast, crew, release dates, and trailers. - Trailers only ever open after you tap play. TRACK, RATE, REVIEW - Pick up where you left off with Continue Watching. - Rate what you have seen, write private reviews, and keep a Watchlist of what is next. - A Young Audience filter keeps age-appropriate content front and center. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS - Continue Watching and Trending widgets put your library one tap away. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - There is no Edendale account and no tracking. Your library and watch history live on your device and the services you choose to connect. Edendale uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
