About
A native HDR video player for Mac that plays Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and every file you have with the colour it was mastered in.
Accurate Colour Reproduction: Stoic measures colour, brightness, and timing, unlike other players that guess. It ensures every transform is named and every guess is flagged, providing accurate colour representation.
Dynamic Brightness and Timing: Highlights are mapped to your display's peak brightness (up to 1,600 nits), and frame rates are matched to your panel (up to 120 Hz) without dropped or doubled frames.
Dolby Vision Support: Accurately plays Dolby Vision files, preserving the mastered colour information, which is often ignored by other players.
Performance Efficiency: Uses significantly less CPU and memory compared to other players like VLC and Elmedia, especially when playing demanding 4K Dolby Vision content.
In-Moment Notes and Looping: Save specific frames with timestamped notes, create A/B loops for specific sections, and export clips or notes.
HDR Stills and Exports: Save moments as HDR stills (HEIC) with highlights intact, or as PNG for SDR.
Private Folders: Secure your sensitive footage with password or Touch ID protection for specific folders.
Broad File Format Support: Plays a wide range of formats including MKV, MP4, MOV, WebM, M2TS, MXF, with support for HEVC Main10, AV1, DTS-HD, and ASS subtitles.
Native Mac Experience: Built natively for Apple Silicon using Metal and VideoToolbox, ensuring a quiet and efficient performance.
Privacy Focused: No account, no telemetry, no sign-in, and no network requests at runtime. Videos remain on your Mac.
One-Time Purchase: Buy once and use on up to three Macs, with all future updates for Stoic 1 included.
