IINA: A Subtle Media Player

The IINA Mac media player takes an interesting direction. Instead of trying to develop its own separate design, it tries its best to integrate with the Apple ecosystem. This entails extensive support for Apple hardware and system functions, such as touchpad gestures and Retina technology.
It looks unremarkable, but that’s the intention - it blends in well. In fact, some might argue that it nails the "default app" look better than QuickTime itself. And it takes some creative risks, too, giving it that risqué Apple look. For example, the video seekbar is flipped - you don’t see that every day…
Pros
- Has the look and feel of a stock app
- Innovative design
- Browser integration possible
- Uses macOS to the fullest extent
