# simpliplay-desktop
The desktop version of SimpliPlay, a simple, cross-platform media player.
## simpliplay
[Electron](https://electronjs.org) version of SimpliPlay for Windows, macOS, and Linux (x64 and ARM64).
## [simpliplay-lite](https://github.com/A-Star100/simpliplay-desktop/tree/lite)
[Neutralinojs](https://neutralino.js.org) version of SimpliPlay (significantly smaller filesize) for Windows (x64 only), macOS, and Linux (both x64 and ARM64).
> [!WARNING]
> This version of SimpliPlay has been [officially discontinued](https://simpliplay.netlify.app/docs/blog/lite-ver-end) and **will not** receive any more security updates.
> It is still stable and secure, but has not received a few patches (e.g, the infamous **[memory leak issue](https://github.com/A-Star100/simpliplay-desktop/issues/4)**) that the web version, Chrome extension, and main desktop version all have.
## [simpliplay-nwjs](https://github.com/A-Star100/simpliplay-desktop/tree/nwjs)
[NW.js](https://nwjs.io) version of SimpliPlay for Windows, macOS, and Linux (x64 and ARM64).
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This version is an example NW.js configuration, it won't be used in production, but you can use it if you would like. Files in this version won't be updated, so refer to files from the Electron release for production usage.
## [simpliplay-legacy](https://github.com/A-Star100/simpliplay-desktop/tree/legacy)
[Legacy](https://simpliplay.netlify.app/legacy) version of SimpliPlay for Windows, macOS, and Linux (x64 and x86).
> [!CAUTION]
> This version uses a very old, legacy version of NW.js that supports Windows XP and macOS 10.6 or later.
> Unless the main desktop version isn't supported on your operating system, **please don't use the legacy version**, it will open you up to **security issues** on newer devices!
