What makes Matinee different
Built for people who actually live in their libraries.
The Plex app gets the job done. Matinee makes the job worth doing.
🎬
Library Browsing
Everything. Right here.
Browse your entire Plex library — movies, shows, music, home videos — in a native macOS interface that feels exactly like it belongs on your machine. No web wrappers. No lag. Just your content.
⧉
Resizable & Dockable Player
Your player. Your layout.
Drag it to a corner. Snap it to the edge. Resize it to exactly the footprint you want. Matinee fits into your workflow instead of demanding you fit around it.
🪟
Always-on-Top Mode
Watch while you work.
Pin the player above every other window. Keep a show running in the corner while you work, code, or browse. One click — it floats. One click — it docks back. No fuss.
🗑
Library Management
Keep things tidy.
Delete files directly from your Plex library without jumping to Finder. Watched something you’ll never revisit? Gone. Your library, maintained on your terms.
The Player
A player that
stays out of the way.
Resize it to a thumbnail. Float it above your workspace. Expand it full-screen when you’re ready to commit. The Matinee player adapts to how you actually use your Mac — not the other way around.
Native macOS
Designed for Plex users who demand more.
You’ve built a serious library. You deserve a serious app. Matinee is built from the ground up for macOS — not ported, not wrapped, not an afterthought. It uses native frameworks, respects system preferences, and feels like it was always supposed to be there.
Dark mode. Keyboard shortcuts. Trackpad gestures. The details are there because they matter.
