Gyuni Player is a macOS video player built for people who still feel something missing in other players with less intrusive controls, more intuitive viewing adjustments, and a more refined overall playback experience.
I made Gyuni Player for people who have used other Mac video players and still felt like something was missing. For me, the issue was never just features - it was the overall viewing experience. I wanted something more Mac-native, less intrusive, and more satisfying to actually watch with over time. That meant rethinking the UI, controls, image tone, and how common adjustments like framing and subtitles should feel in real use. There’s a fully unlocked 15-day trial, and I’d genuinely love to hear what feels better, what still feels missing, and what you’d want refined further.
Fellow macOS video app builder here. Curious about your playback engine — AVFoundation or something custom?
The Mac deserves better native video tools and this looks clean.
media players rarely stand out anymore tbh. what’s the actual hook here under the hood
What were the biggest pain points in existing players that pushed you to rethink the experience? I mean once I maximize the screen in vlc it doesn't matter
