About uMediaPlay

We built uMediaPlay because we were tired of downloading heavy desktop applications just to verify a video export, or uploading sensitive audio files to web services just to trim or play them back quickly.

The Cloud Assumption

Modern software operates on a massive assumption: that everything should live in the cloud. We disagree. Media files are large, bandwidth is constrained, and privacy is rarely guaranteed when data leaves your machine.

Your hard drive is faster than your internet connection. Your local GPU is designed to decode video efficiently. Why bypass this local power just to stream a file back to yourself from a remote server?

Our Principles

• Zero Data Exfiltration: We never upload your files. Not even temporarily. The <video> element reads the file locally using standard Web APIs.
• Zero Accounts: You don't need a login to play a video file. We do not collect emails, passwords, or usage statistics.
• Radical Transparency: The entire application is static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Anyone can inspect the code in their browser developer tools.
