I wanted a video player that simply stayed out of the way.
Most of the time, I just want to open a video and watch it. No account, no upload, and no library to maintain.
So I built Braun Player — a focused native macOS player for local video. It opens quickly and keeps the controls familiar.
Braun Player plays files already on your Mac, with external audio and subtitles when you need them.
Local video
Choose a video from your Mac and start playback in a clean, familiar interface. Fullscreen and keyboard controls are close at hand.
SRT & WebVTT subtitles
Load an external subtitle file, adjust the text size, and keep subtitles readable without adding clutter to the player.
External audio
If a video comes with a separate audio file, choose that file directly. Braun Player keeps the workflow local and simple.
