Floating streams.
Zero window friction.

Streamy is a picture-in-picture floating stream & video player for macOS. Equipped with smart mouse evasion (ghost fade, slide dodge, edge tuck) so your media floats over your work without getting in your cursor's way.

Smart Evasion Engine

Media that steps aside when you work.

Streamy solves the core problem of picture-in-picture players: taking up valuable screen space when you need to type or click behind the video window.

With custom mouse tracking monitors built on macOS AppKit, Streamy detects incoming cursor paths and evades before your workflow is disrupted.
