PopBox

PopBox

The native player for everything you watch.

The PopBox player on Mac playing an animated film, with a translucent inspector panel on the right reporting live playback statistics: resolution, H.265 Dolby Vision codec, bitrate, frame rate, dropped frames and the selected audio track.

Every format. Every codec. Dolby Vision and Atmos, in stunning fidelity, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.

Coming soon to the App Store

Your movies deserve a better player

PopBox is on the way. Free to start, Pro when you want it.

See it running.

The picture up front. The proof on the side.

That is PopBox above, playing a Dolby Vision MKV in real time. The inspector on the right is live, the same numbers you would chase in a desktop tool, right on the glass.

  • Real-time Dolby Vision

    That was a Dolby Vision MKV decoded and tone-mapped live. No remux, no transcode, no waiting.

  • Live playback inspector

    Resolution, codec, bitrate, frame rate, dropped frames and the audio track, updating frame by frame.

  • Controls that get out of the way

    A quiet glass scrubber and chapter bar that fade back to the film the moment you stop touching them.

One player. Every screen.

Native on the whole Apple lineup

No transcoding. No compromise.

Plays what your server throws at it

PopBox decodes the formats other players punt on, and preserves the picture and sound exactly as they were mastered.

  • Every format

    MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, and the long tail. If it plays, it plays in PopBox.

  • Dolby Vision & HDR

    Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, tone-mapped to your display.

  • Dolby Atmos

    Object-based, lossless, and multichannel audio passed through untouched.

  • Hardware decoding

    Apple silicon acceleration for 4K and beyond without dropping a frame.
