Boilerplate

One line: Mira is a focused video player for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — less noise, more video.

Short: Mira is a native video player for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that skips sponsors, intros, and other unwanted segments automatically, makes YouTube transcripts searchable, summarizes videos with AI, and keeps watch parties in sync across devices.

Long: Mira is a native video player for iPhone, iPad, and Mac built around one idea: watching with less noise. It integrates SponsorBlock natively — community-marked sponsors, intros, and recaps skip automatically, with per-category control — bringing to iOS a capability browser extensions can't offer there. Every YouTube video's transcript is searchable: tap a line and the video jumps to that moment, or use your own Claude, OpenAI, or Grok API key to summarize and ask questions about long videos. Watch Together keeps playback in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with built-in chat. Mira is built by an independent developer in pure Swift on Apple's native frameworks, with no third-party SDKs, no analytics, and no accounts.
