A video player with a built-in media toolkit. Play local videos with swipe gestures and subtitles, then compress, trim, convert or turn clips into GIFs, all on the device.

Where they started
People who watch videos on their phone usually need three or four separate apps: one to play, one to shrink a large file before sharing, one to cut a clip, one to change the format. We wanted a single app that does the everyday jobs well, with a player that feels as responsive as the established ones.
What we built
PlayHub is an Android video player for the videos stored on a phone. Unlike a plain player, it also has a media toolkit: compress large videos, trim a clip on a timeline, convert between formats and create GIFs. Everything is processed on the device.
- A custom player built on Media3 ExoPlayer: swipe gestures, a seek bar with live preview, subtitles, audio-track switching and picture-in-picture
- A toolkit on Media3 Transformer to compress, trim and convert, running in a foreground service so exports continue when the user leaves the screen
- A GIF maker with a custom colour-quantising encoder
- A library with folders, search, sort, watch history and favourites, plus a web shortcuts tab for one-tap links
- A guided first-run flow with a welcome screen, three feature slides and permissions
- Native-ad monetisation that stays out of the way: ads sit below buttons and navigation and never appear over video playback
