PeakMediaPlayer · VideoComing soon · private beta

Your own videos, in VR, on the phone you already have.

PeakMediaPlayer plays your own videos in a phone-in-headset VR viewer, the Cardboard kind you slide the phone into. Each eye gets its own picture, sized and centred for the lenses, and 360° and 180° clips turn as you turn your head. Holiday and travel clips, footage from an action camera, a school trip, the nature walk you filmed: it keeps the settings for each video, picks up where you stopped, and holds the ones you choose in a locked library on the phone.

Founder's Pass: free for the whole beta and the first year after it. 500 places, closing 31 December 2026.

What PeakMediaPlayer is

Your holiday clips and 360° videos, watched in VR.

A player for the videos you shot yourself, made for a phone-in-headset VR viewer. One picture for each eye, 360° and 180° clips that follow your head, and a locked library that remembers how you like each video.

The same frame twice, one for each lens, centred for the headset. 360° and 180° clips turn as you turn your head.
2

eyes, one picture each

Every video plays side by side, one picture for each eye, sized and centred for the headset's lenses. Flat mode is one tap away when the phone is in your hand.

360°

look around by turning your head

Normal, fisheye, 360° and 180° lens types. Head tracking turns the view as you move; drag to look when the phone is out of the headset, and recenter whenever you like.

0

accounts to make

There is no UPeak account. Your videos, the library and every setting stay on the phone.

Features

What ships in the beta

Everything below is either built or being built. Waitlist members get each piece as it ships.

  1. Tonight’s programme8 features
  2. 01

    One picture for each eye

    Your own videos split into a picture for each eye, sized and centred for the headset's lenses. Flat mode too, for watching on the phone screen.

  3. 02

    Normal, fisheye, 360° or 180°

    Pick the lens type the clip was filmed with. Head tracking lets you look around by moving your head, or drag to look; recenter puts the view back in front of you.

  4. 03

    2D, side by side or over-under

    The 3D format is guessed from the file name and the shape of the picture, and you can change it for any video.

  5. 04

    Picks up where you stopped

    Zoom, position, eye spacing and alignment, VR mode, lens type and 3D format are kept for each video. Skip to the next or previous video, with the volume on screen.

  6. 05

    A locked library

    Keep the videos you choose inside the app, behind your fingerprint, face or a PIN. They stay out of the Gallery, out of other apps and out of cloud backups.

  7. 06

    Tags, search and sorting

    Tag videos, search them, and sort by most viewed, most watched, most recent or name, with a thumbnail for each.

  8. 07

    The parts you watch most

    Each video gets a heat map of the parts you watch most, and a summary of its most watched moments. Tap one to play from there.

  9. 08

    Back up, restore, share in

    Back up the library to a folder you choose and restore it from there. Share a video into the app from another app to add it.

FAQ

PeakMediaPlayer, answered

What do I need?
An Android phone and a phone-in-headset VR viewer, the kind you slide the phone into, such as a Cardboard-style viewer. Without a viewer, flat mode plays the same videos on the phone screen.
Which videos can it play?
Your own: holiday and travel clips, 360° videos from an action camera, family moments, school trips, nature films you shot. It handles normal, fisheye, 360° and 180° lenses, and 2D, side-by-side and over-under formats.
Who is it for?
Anyone with videos they want to see bigger: a family looking back at a holiday, someone who films with an action camera, a class watching its school trip again. It plays the videos you put in it, and nothing else.
Where are my videos kept?
On the phone. There is no UPeak account. Videos you move into the locked library stay inside the app behind your fingerprint, face or a PIN, hidden from the Gallery, other apps and cloud backups. A backup goes only to a folder you choose.
Does it remember where I stopped?
Yes. Each video resumes where you stopped and keeps its own zoom, position, eye spacing and alignment, VR mode, lens type and 3D format.
Is there an iPhone version?
No. PeakMediaPlayer runs on Android only; there is no iPhone app.
What is the Founder's Pass?
It is how the first 500 people on the waitlist join. A founder gets every app they ticked free for the whole beta and for the first year after each one launches, founder pricing after that for as long as they stay, and an invite ahead of the general waitlist. It costs nothing and needs no card — only that you join before the round closes on 31 December 2026.
What happens when the founding round closes?
The waitlist stays open and stays free to join, but that is all it is: no free year, no locked-in price, and invites go out behind the founders. The round closes on 31 December 2026, or earlier if all 500 places are taken.

Founder's Pass First 500 only

Free for the whole beta — and the first year after launch.

Join before 31 December 2026 and you join as a founder. After it closes the waitlist stays open, but a waitlist is all it is: no free year, no locked price, and invites go out behind the founders.
