# Opal

> Play everything — the evolved media player

One media player for everything — files, sites, servers, and feeds. Say a title, a file, a magnet, or a vibe, and Opal finds and plays it a moment later. AI-powered discovery built for speed in Zig, running on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

## Built for

People who want one fast, native place to find and play media instead of a browser full of services, players, feeds, and tabs.

## Product thesis

The Next Decades of Entertainment Should Belong to Whoever Is Holding the Remote.

## Capabilities

- **Ask for Media Naturally:** Start with a title, local file, magnet link, server, feed, or a mood. Opal turns the request into something playable.
- **Keep One Clean Surface:** Search, discovery, chat, browsing, and playback share one window instead of handing the journey across disconnected apps.
- **Stay Native and Extensible:** A Zig core keeps startup and runtime lean while source plugins let endpoints evolve without turning the player into a monolith.

## Evidence

- 1 input titles, files, magnets, vibes
- 3 OSes macOS, Linux, Windows
