About

TVOne Player

Read full description

TVOne Player plays the video files you already own — on your television, your phone, your iPad and your Mac. It has its own player rather than the system one, so the formats that usually fail simply play: MKV, HEVC, 10-bit, multiple audio tracks, and ASS subtitles rendered with the fonts embedded in the file. Hardware decoding keeps it smooth and cool on the device. YOUR FILES, WHEREVER THEY ARE • TVOne Server, our free companion for Mac — point it at your folders and every TVOne Player on the network finds it • Network shares over SMB, discovered automatically or added by hand • Files on the device itself, dropped in from the Files app on iPhone and iPad ONE LIBRARY Posters, episodes gathered under their show, artwork and descriptions, and Continue Watching along the top. Search across everything you have. PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Watch positions and watched marks are shared between your own devices, so finishing an episode on the television is known to the iPad. Downloads let you take something with you. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR HOME No account, no sign-in, no cloud, no analytics, no advertising. Your videos move directly between your own machines and are never uploaded anywhere. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

Read full description

TierDeck is a tier list maker with no ads, no account and no subscription. Rank anything you love, from anime characters and video games to movies, music, food and sports, and export a tier list image sharp enough to post anywhere. It opens fast and works offline. RANK ANYTHING • Start from S to F, 1 to 5, Tier 1 to 3, or Yes / Maybe / No. You can also write your own labels • Drag items between tiers, and reorder them inside a row • Add, insert, move, recolor, and delete tiers as you go • Undo and redo every change • Unlimited lists, always ADD IMAGES FROM ANYWHERE • Share photos, screenshots, posts and links to TierDeck from almost any app, and they land right in the unranked pool • Paste a link to a post or a video and TierDeck finds the picture in it • Pick several photos at once from your library, or paste an image from the clipboard MADE TO LOOK RIGHT • Tile shapes: square, poster, cover, wide, or each image's own proportions • Fill or fit, and drag any image inside its tile to frame it exactly • 1 to 8 columns, three row heights, item names on or off • Four colorblind-safe palettes, plus any hex color you like • Light and dark modes, and a board background you choose • A roomy layout on iPad and tablets EXPORTS THAT DON'T LOOK COMPRESSED • Your images are never recompressed when you add them. Compression is an export-time decision that only happens once • PNG or JPEG, with a quality slider • Standard, High, and Max resolution. Max renders the whole board at 4Ɨ, around 4000 px wide • Transparent background for PNG, for when the board goes into a thumbnail or a stream overlay • Save straight to Photos, or send it to the share sheet SHARE THE TIER LIST, NOT JUST THE PICTURE • Export a .tiers file. Your tiers, placements and images are rebuilt exactly on someone else's device • Or export a tier list template: the same items with nothing ranked, so a friend can make their own ranking • Opening a .tiers file someone sent you is always free PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no tracking, no ads • Your lists and images stay on your device because there is no server to send them to • Everything except adding an image from a link works with no connection at all FREE, AND ONE UNLOCK Free: unlimited lists, up to 25 images per list, standard-resolution exports with a small TierDeck mark, the built-in palettes, and .tiers import. The unlock is one payment, not a subscription: unlimited images per list, no watermark, High and Max exports, transparent backgrounds, any hex color, and .tiers export.

The call
