Folders become playlists
Files are sorted by their numbers and subfolders become sections. Nothing is copied, converted, or uploaded.
Play your media folders in order
Turn any folder of numbered videos or audio files into a playlist that remembers your place. Free and offline on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

What it does
Durations up front
The length of every file and of the whole folder is read when it opens, before you play anything.
Resume where you stopped
Your position in every file is saved as you watch or listen. Finished files are ticked off and the next one starts.
Skip what you know
Mark any file as done without playing it, or reset one file or a whole folder.
Your own order
Reorder tracks, star favorites, hide what you don't need and add tracks from other folders. The files on disk stay as they are.
Tabs and full window
Keep several folders open in tabs. Theater mode, full window, fullscreen, speed control and keyboard shortcuts for everything.
Who it's for
Online courses
Work through a course you downloaded, lesson by lesson. Every video remembers where you stopped, and the folder shows how far you've got.
Lectures and talks
Recorded lectures, conference talks and tutorials play in the order of their file names, with a section for each subfolder.
Audiobooks
A book split into dozens of files plays in order and resumes in the right chapter, even weeks later.
Language practice
Listening practice and video lessons for a language you're learning, with speed control and a quick ten-second replay.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. EVB Player is free and open source under the MIT license, with no ads, accounts or subscriptions.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The desktop app reads your folders directly and keeps its progress on your computer. The browser version plays your files in the browser; nothing leaves your device.
In what order does it play files?
By the numbers at the start of file names, so 10 comes after 9, not after 1. Subfolders become sections. You can also reorder a playlist yourself.
Which formats does it play?
Plays MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, WAV, Ogg, and Opus. Files the built-in player can't decode, such as AVI, open in your usual media player.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. Is it safe?
The Windows installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows warns about an unknown publisher. Choose More info, then Run anyway. The app is built from its public source code on GitHub.
Can I use it without installing anything?
Yes, in the browser at evb-player-web.vercel.app. Chrome and Edge remember your folders between visits; in other browsers you choose the folder again.
How does it update?
The desktop app checks for new versions and asks you before it downloads one.
