Lumehush

Coming soon for Windows

Your library, beautifully kept.

Lumehush brings the films, shows and music on your PC into one calm, cinematic app. No server, no account, nothing running in the background.

What it does

One library for everything you own.

Films, TV and music share one home and one look. Lumehush reads your folders and keeps them in order.

Organised for you

Point it at your film, TV and music folders and new files appear by themselves. Library health finds wrong matches, duplicates and missing artwork, with fixes you can undo. An existing Jellyfin library comes across read-only.

The picture, untouched

Files play as they are, with no converting. Your graphics card does the decoding, so the processor stays nearly idle, even in 4K HDR. Resume, skip intro and credits, subtitles, audio tracks and media keys.

Dialogue you can hear

Night mode quiets loud scenes and lifts quiet voices. Clear dialogue, a surround-to-stereo mix for headphones and TV speakers, and level volume from one title to the next.

Music, properly

Gapless albums, crossfade up to 12 seconds, synced lyrics from the file or a .lrc beside it, mixes, a queue and Liked songs with the newest first.

A profile for everyone

Each person gets their own progress, My List, Liked songs and settings, with an optional PIN. A Kids profile shows only titles rated PG or lower.

Light and private

No server, no background service, no browser tab. Lumehush runs only while it's open, gives memory back when minimised, and keeps your library on your PC.

All features

A closer look

Now playing takes its colour from the cover. Synced lyrics move line by line, and the queue is one click away.

Questions

Good to know

What is Lumehush?

A Windows app that plays the films, TV shows and music on your own drives, in a home-cinema style interface. It's a lighter alternative to running a media server: everything happens inside the app on your PC.

When can I get it, and what will it cost?

Lumehush isn't available to download or buy yet. Join early access and we'll email you when it is, with the price and the details.

Does it stream films or music from the internet?

No. Lumehush plays files you already have. It doesn't sell, rent or include any content.

Do I need a server, a NAS or an account?

No. There's no server to set up and no account to create. Your library, profiles and watch history are stored on your PC.

Will it change or move my files?

Never. Lumehush only reads your media folders. Corrections you make, like fixing a title, are kept in Lumehush's own library, not written into your files.

Does it go online at all?

Only for artwork and details lookups, such as TMDB with your own free key (optional) and music artwork, and to check for updates. Your library is never uploaded.

I already use Jellyfin. Can I switch?

Yes. Lumehush can bring across your Jellyfin library, including watched state and resume points. It works from a copy and never changes Jellyfin's data.

Which formats does it play?

Virtually all common video and audio formats, including 4K HDR video, embedded and external subtitles, multiple audio tracks and lossless music such as FLAC, without converting anything first.

Mac, Linux, phones or TVs?

Lumehush is for Windows PCs to begin with. Other devices aren't planned for the first version.
