Orbital is a local-first desktop app that allows you to search, filter, and preview video (and image) files on your computer. It turns your computer's file browser into YouTube.

Orbital is available to 👉 purchase on Gumroad for $10 USD. All love (hate, questions, and suggestions) can be directed to me on Twitter 👉 @SuboptimalEng.

• Gallery view of videos and images.

  

• Search files through all sub-folders with filename.

  

• Preview media files and traverse them with keybindings.

  

• Drag and drop media files into other apps like iMovie or Da Vinci Resolve.

  

• Choose between light, dracula, and gruvbox color themes.

  

First of all, thank you. Seriously - thanks a bunch! I recently quit my job to become a YouTuber + indie hacker and I really appreciate your support.
