IINA
The modern media player for macOS
Subscription-free alternative to Infuse, Movist Pro.
IINA is the media player macOS deserves: it plays virtually any video and audio format (powered by mpv underneath) while looking native — with dark mode, picture-in-picture, trackpad gestures, Touch Bar and a tidy interface.
The details add up: thumbnail previews while seeking, customisable shortcuts, online subtitles, playlist handling and a browser plugin that opens videos straight in IINA. Coming from VLC, you mainly gain polish.
The app is open source, free and ad-free — community-funded, with no trackers.
Why no subscription? A player is a tool, not a service. Playing video costs nothing and shouldn’t belong to anyone.
