Your movies are everywhere.
Different hard drives, inconsistent folder structures, cryptic release filenames, and no single place that remembers which drive holds what.
Shutter turns all of that into one library.
Fingerprints every physical volume. Parses audio languages, HDR specs, and video formats. Automatically matches verified TMDB posters and artwork without touching or renaming your original files.
A library that knows where everything lives.
Other media players give you broken grey squares when a drive is unplugged. Shutter treats offline as a natural first-class state.
Interstellar
The Godfather
Drive disconnected? Your library doesn't disappear. Artwork, ratings, plot synopses, and resume positions are safely stored in your local catalog.
Built from the ground up for movie collectors.
Every feature is designed around real media habits: large external drives, multi-audio tracks, offline storage, and pristine local playback.
One library
Movies and series from every drive and network share in one place. Stop browsing separate drives or switching between file explorer windows.
Offline-aware
Shutter remembers content even when the drive is unplugged. Posters, details and resume points stay immediately accessible.
Best version automatically
4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, HEVC, audio quality, and bitrate are evaluated to play the highest fidelity copy.
Indian languages, properly handled
Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and English audio tracks are treated as first-class metadata, not hidden tags.
Clean names. Untouched files.
Shutter creates clean display names without modifying, renaming, or moving your original media files.
Collections
Movie franchises grouped automatically and shown in release order.
Continue Watching
Pick up exactly where you stopped. Progress, watch history and Watch Again rows are kept for every title.
Windows + Mac

Drives on your router or NAS

Curated Collections & Franchises
Made for people who actually own their movies.
“Streaming services come and go. Licenses expire. Content gets quietly altered or deleted. Your collection stays yours.”
You spent years building your high-bitrate archive. Shutter provides the luxurious, modern playback interface your media library deserves.
Multiple drives converge into one unified library
One Unified Library
Unified search, single poster wall, cross-drive collections, and seamless offline-aware playback.
The mess stays on the drive.
The library doesn't.
Other organizers bulk-rename your folders. Shutter shows clean display names without changing a single byte on your drive, and renames files only if you ask, with a preview and one-click undo.
Ponman
