Free and open-source Mac media converter for Apple Silicon. We build a small, fast, privacy-first converter that "just works" using FFmpeg, Tauri, and Vue.

Honeymelon is a free and open-source desktop app for macOS (arm64) that converts video, audio, and images with a clean, preset-driven UI. It favors remux-first workflows, re-encoding only when required, and runs FFmpeg out of process for reliability.

• Simple, guided presets instead of complex flags
• Remux when possible; transcode only when needed
• Local processing by default; no media leaves your machine
• Apple Silicon performance with hardware acceleration via VideoToolbox
• Small footprint and fast startup using Tauri

Media converters tend to be either heavyweight or overly technical. Honeymelon aims for a narrow, reliable core:

• Sensible defaults for common tasks
• Minimal UI with strong affordances
• Predictable output compatible with mainstream players and editors

• Desktop: Tauri (Rust) + Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript + shadcn-vue
• Engine: FFmpeg and FFprobe invoked out-of-process
• Packaging: macOS Apple Silicon, signed and notarized
• Updates: Optional in-app updates with signed feeds

• honeymelon — desktop app (Tauri + Vue), licensed under GPL v3
• website — marketing website and downloads
• support — issue tracking, bug reports, and community discussions
• docs — user guide and technical documentation
• .github — organization profile and shared GitHub configuration
