PLAY YOUR OWN VIDEO FILES - 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. ORGANIZE YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION - Edendale reads your filenames locally, then optionally enriches them with catalogue information from The Movie Database (TMDB). - View titles, seasons, episodes, cast, crew, release dates, and trailers sourced from TMDB. - Trailers only ever open after you tap play.

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.
