Everything you play, in one clean player

Video playback

PurePlay is built on LibVLC, the same open-source engine that made VLC the default answer to "will this file play?". In practice that means you can stop converting files before watching them. Downloaded MKV releases, camera footage in MOV, screen recordings in WebM, old AVI archives and 4K HEVC rips all open the same way: tap, play.

• Hardware and software decoding — PurePlay asks for hardware decoding first and falls back to software when the decoder fails, instead of showing a black screen.
• Multi-track audio — switch between the original language and a dub from the player without restarting.
• Subtitles — embedded subtitle tracks, plus sidecar SRT, ASS/SSA and VTT files loaded from storage, with a delay adjustment in 0.5-second steps.
• Gesture controls — swipe on the left half for brightness, the right half for volume, horizontally to seek, double-tap to skip back or forward, long-press for 2× speed.
• Picture-in-Picture and background audio — keep watching in a floating window or keep listening after you leave the app.
• Speed, sleep timer and A–B repeat — for lectures, language practice and audiobooks.

Music playback

The Music tab reads your device's audio library and lists every track with its title, artist and duration. Tapping a track opens the audio player: album art where the file has it, the track name and artist, and the same transport controls as video. Playback continues in the background with lock-screen controls, exactly like a dedicated music app.

• Formats — MP3, AAC/M4A, FLAC, ALAC, OGG Vorbis, Opus, WAV and more, decoded by the same engine.
• Metadata — title, artist and album are read from the file tags, not from filenames.
• Album art — cover images from your files appear in the list, the player and the mini player.
• Browse by artist or album — switch between Tracks, Artists and Albums, with search across all three.
• Mini player — a now-playing bar above the navigation, so playback follows you around the app.
• Shuffle, repeat and queue — including a queue sheet that highlights the current track and lets you jump anywhere.
• One queue — next and previous move through the music library in the order it is shown, with shuffle and repeat available from the player.

Library and organisation

• Grid and list views, with search and four sort orders: date added, name, size, duration.
• Folder view that mirrors how your files are actually stored, with counts and total sizes.
• Continue watching / continue listening, based on per-file resume positions.
• Details, share and delete from the item menu, using Android's own delete confirmation.

Privacy

PurePlay has no account, no analytics SDK, no advertising ID and no upload of your media or history. It asks for read access to your media and, optionally, permission to post playback notifications. That is the whole list. Everything else stays on the device.

Languages

The interface ships in 52 language variants covering the 50 most widely used languages worldwide, including right-to-left layouts for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu. On first launch PurePlay picks a sensible language from your region and your system language, and you can change it any time in Settings → Language.

What PurePlay does not do

Being honest about scope is part of a good product page:

• No online catalogue, streaming service, downloads or DRM support.
• No DLNA/casting to TVs yet — casting is on the roadmap.
• No video editing, transcoding or conversion.
• No cloud sync: history and resume points are local to each device.
