🛰 Orbital - Video File Browser

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.
