A player that just plays

Open a file, paste a link or pick a server on your network. Flick works out the rest.

▶

MKV, AVI, WebM and more

MP4, MOV and HLS play with Apple's hardware decoder. Everything else goes to a built-in libVLC engine. If one fails, Flick tries the other on its own.

📡

DLNA / UPnP servers

Flick finds media servers on your Wi-Fi, like the ones in many NAS drives and routers. Browse folders, albums and cover art.

🌐

Network streams

Paste a link: HTTP and HTTPS files, HLS (m3u8), RTSP, RTMP and more.

💬

Subtitles that work

SRT, WebVTT and ASS/SSA in any text encoding. Movie.srt and Movie.en.srt are picked up automatically. Adjust delay, size and background.

☀

Gestures you know

Swipe the left side for brightness and the right for volume. Speed from 0.5x to 2x, fit or fill, rotation lock, resume where you left off.

🎵

Music in the background

Keep audio playing with the screen off, with controls on the Lock Screen. Your albums get cover art too.
