# VLC Alternative for Mac: An App Like VLC

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/vlc

Free, open-source media player that plays almost any video or audio file, disc or stream.

VLC is free, open source and plays almost anything, but on the Mac it does not look or feel like other Mac apps. Alternatives offer a more Mac-like design, a library for your films, or better support for picture in picture and other macOS features.
