A few things to know
Can I use the share sheet?
Yes. The regular share extension adds a copy to pippi. To open the main app and play directly, add the ready-made “Play in pippi” shortcut from Settings once.
Does it change my original videos?
Videos selected inside pippi are references to your originals. Custom names apply only in pippi. Deleting a copied video removes that copy from pippi too.
Can it play every format?
Playback uses formats supported by iOS. A codec, DRM restriction or file provider may prevent playback.
Are the controls the same in Picture in Picture?
iOS manages the floating window. The app’s swipe gestures and two-stage skip settings do not apply inside it.
What does it cost?
All features are free. An optional coffee tip in Settings is a one-time in-app purchase you can repeat. It never renews automatically.
