With an uncompromising emphasis on a premium, cinematic user experience, GoodTime magically transforms disorganized folders of downloaded videos into a sleek, professional streaming-platform-like interface—completely offline and safely on your local machine.

✨ Features

• Netflix-Inspired UI: A cinematic, premium interface featuring dynamic gradients, smooth hover effects, royal color palettes, and auto-generated dynamic thumbnails.
• Smooth Cinematic Transitions: Experience seamless cross-fades and elegant slide animations throughout the app—from opening courses and switching lectures to collapsing the sidebar—delivering a truly premium, native feel.
• Smart Folder Scanning: Simply point the application to your root directory containing your downloaded courses. GoodTime automatically parses the folder structure and neatly organizes everything into Courses, Modules, and Episodes.
• Intelligent "Continue Watching": Automatically tracks your exact watch progress and position. The home screen presents a dynamic "Continue Watching" section that lets you resume right where you left off.
• Autoplay & Binge-Watching: Seamlessly jumps to the next lecture—even across different modules—once the current episode finishes.
• Adjustable Playback Speed: Essential for lectures and educational content; easily adjust playback speeds (0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x) on the fly with convenient keyboard shortcuts.
• Dedicated About & Settings Modules: Built-in screens for managing preferences, learning keyboard shortcuts, and exploring application details right from the sidebar.
• Custom Window Controls: A sleek, borderless, frameless window experience with custom minimize, maximize, and close controls built seamlessly into the UI.
• 100% Offline First: Built entirely for local media consumption. No internet connection required. All watch history and metadata are securely stored locally on your machine.

📥 Download & Installation

You can install GoodTime in two ways: via the direct MSIX installer or by downloading the portable ZIP file.

Option 1: Direct Installer (Recommended)

1. Go to the Releases page.
2. Download the GoodTime-Installer.msix file from the latest release.
3. Important Note on Installation: Because this is a self-signed open-source application, you need to trust the developer certificate to install it:
   • Right-click the downloaded .msix file -> Properties -> Digital Signatures tab.
   • Select the signature, click Details, then View Certificate, and click Install Certificate.
   • Choose Local Machine, and click Browse to select Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
   • After a successful import, double-click the .msix file to install it seamlessly as a native Windows app!

Option 2: Portable ZIP

1. Go to the Releases page.
2. Download the GoodTime-Windows-Release.zip file.
3. Extract the contents to any folder (e.g., your Desktop or Documents).
4. Double-click playit.exe to launch the application.

⚠️ Windows SmartScreen Warning (Please Read) If you see a blue warning screen saying "Windows protected your PC", it simply means the app isn't digitally signed with an expensive enterprise certificate. To bypass this: Click on "More info" and then click "Run anyway".
