Deskemy 1.2.2

A small bugfix release. If you're on 1.2.1, Deskemy will offer this update automatically.

Fixed

Your PC no longer sleeps while a video is playing.
Watching a long lecture without touching the keyboard or mouse could let Windows sleep or blank the display, interrupting your session. Deskemy now keeps the system and display awake while a video is playing, and releases that hold the moment you pause, stop, or close the app. Thanks to @flipped0419 for the report.

Leftover update installers are cleaned up.
Installing an update left the downloaded installer (~37 MB) sitting in your temp folder. Deskemy now clears these on startup, including any left behind by earlier updates.

Download

Deskemy 1.2.1

A small bugfix release. If you're on 1.2.0, Deskemy will offer this update automatically.

Fixed

Finished videos now resume where you left off.
Previously, once a video crossed the "completed" mark, reopening it always restarted from the beginning — so if you stopped near (but not exactly at) the end, your position was lost. Videos now resume from your last spot even after they're marked complete, unless you were within a few seconds of the very end, where starting over makes sense. Thanks to @flipped0419 for the report.

Completion is marked a little later.
A video is now flagged complete at 95% watched (was 90%), so long videos aren't marked done while there's still a meaningful stretch left. The change only affects the completion badge and stats — actually reaching the end of a video still marks it done as before.

Deskemy 1.2.0

This release is built entirely from user feedback — thanks to everyone who sent it in. If you're on 1.1.0, Deskemy will offer this update automatically; this is the first release delivered through the in-app updater. Click Update when prompted.

New

Relocate a moved or renamed course.
Rename or move a course folder and Deskemy used to lose track of it. It now detects this on launch and flags the course, and the course page shows a Locate folder button — point it at the new location and everything reconnects: your progress, bookmarks, tags, and career-track placement all carry over. It repoints the stored paths directly, so there's no re-scan and nothing is re-probed.

Optional title cleaning.
By default, Deskemy tidies lecture and section titles on import (for example, 01. Intro.mp4 becomes Intro). If you'd rather keep the raw file names, there's a new Settings → Clean up lecture titles toggle. Turn it off to keep names exactly as they are on disk.

Auto-hide controls in fullscreen.
A new Settings → Auto-hide controls in fullscreen toggle, off by default. With it on, the control bar and cursor fade out after a few seconds without mouse movement and return the moment you move the mouse — like a typical video player.

Smoother bookmarking.
Adding a bookmark now pauses the video and opens a small panel, so the moment holds still while you type a label. The B shortcut no longer saves a blank bookmark before you get a chance to name it. Save it, or cancel with Esc, and playback resumes right where it left off.

Deskemy 1.1.0

The first feature update since launch — this one's about making Deskemy something you can settle into: your progress is now portable and backup-able, updates come to you, and a couple of small comforts for late-night watching.

(New here? Deskemy is a local, offline player for the video courses you already own — a browsable library with resume, search, bookmarks, and study stats. Everything stays on your machine; the media engine is bundled, so it just works.)

What's new

** Updates come to you now.**
Deskemy checks for a new version on launch and offers a one-click update — no more checking back here. You're always asked first; nothing installs behind your back.

This is the first version with the updater built in, so if you're on 1.0.x you'll need to grab 1.1.0 manually this one time. After that you're set — future updates are automatic.

** Back up and move your library.**
Settings → Data → Export saves everything Deskemy remembers — progress, bookmarks, tags, career tracks, study stats, thumbnails — into a single .zip. Import loads it back after a reinstall, on a new PC, or into a fresh portable copy. Your video files stay where they are; this is just your progress, safe in your hands.

** Sleep timer.**
Watching before bed? Set the player to pause after 15 / 30 / 45 / 60 minutes — a custom time, or at the end of the current lecture. The countdown shows right on the toolbar.

** "Recently watched" filter** in the library, so the courses you're actually working through are one click away — and filtering is snappier now, too.

Download

File	Use it if…
Deskemy_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe	You want a normal install (recommended) — it keeps itself up to date from here on.
Deskemy_1.1.0_portable.zip	You want zero install — extract and run Deskemy.exe.
Deskemy_1.1.0_x64_en-US.msi	You prefer an MSI (managed deployment).

Windows 10 / 11. WebView2 is installed by the setup program if it's missing.

A couple of notes

• Deskemy isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run — choose More info → Run anyway. That's the standard unsigned-app notice, not a malware flag.
• No accounts, no telemetry — nothing about your library ever leaves your machine.
• Want to verify your download? Check it against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Thanks for using Deskemy — issues and ideas are always welcome.

Deskemy 1.0.2

A polish release from first-run feedback — bug fixes, a faster import, and installer cleanup. If you're new here: Deskemy is a local, offline player for the video courses you already own — browsable library, resume, search, bookmarks, and study stats, all from one local database. libmpv is bundled, so playback works out of the box.

What's changed

Fixes

• Import confirmation no longer closes on a stray click. Clicking outside the dialog — including clicking to focus the window — used to cancel the import and force a full re-scan. It now closes only via Cancel or ✕.
• Player panel button reliably closes the sidebar instead of silently switching from Resources to Course content. (The P / R keys still jump to a specific tab.)

Improvements

• Faster course import with far less disk activity — noticeably better on HDDs, where scanning a large course was sluggish.
• Library sorting: added a Longest option and made every sort explicit (default is still most-recently-opened).
• Sidebar order tidied: Library · Search · Career Tracks · Favorites · Bookmarks · History · Stats · Settings.
• Installer: the license text now wraps cleanly, and setup shows the Deskemy logo (header + welcome page).

Downloads

File	Use it if…
Deskemy_1.0.2_x64-setup.exe	You want a normal install (Start-menu entry, clean uninstall). Recommended.
Deskemy_1.0.2_portable.zip	You want zero install — extract and run Deskemy.exe. Everything stays in the folder.
Deskemy_1.0.2_x64_en-US.msi	You prefer an MSI (e.g. managed deployment).

Notes

• Windows 10/11. The WebView2 runtime is installed by setup if missing.
• The build is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn on first run — choose More info → Run anyway.
• Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt.

Deskemy 1.0.1

Deskemy is a local, offline player for the video courses you already own. Point it at a folder of course videos and it becomes a browsable library with resume, progress tracking, search, and study tools — your files stay where they are, and everything it records lives in one local SQLite database. No accounts, no telemetry, no network.

Downloads

File	Use it if…
Deskemy_1.0.1_x64-setup.exe	You want a normal install (Start-menu entry, clean uninstall). Recommended.
Deskemy_1.0.1_portable.zip	You want to try it with zero install — extract and run Deskemy.exe. Everything stays in the folder.
Deskemy_1.0.1_x64_en-US.msi	You prefer an MSI (e.g. managed deployment).

libmpv is bundled in every download — playback works out of the box, no separate mpv install needed.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11
• The WebView2 runtime — installed automatically by the setup program, and already present on most systems.

Highlights

• Library — turns a course folder into sections and ordered lectures, cleaning numeric prefixes out of titles; attaches sidecar subtitles and resource files. Import shows a preview (sections, lectures, resources, runtime) with live progress.
• Playback — resume from your last spot, autoplay-next, adjustable speed, chapter and subtitle/audio-track selection, remembered per-course preferences, fullscreen (even from a maximized window), and keyboard shortcuts throughout.
• Organize — Continue Watching, timestamped bookmarks, tags, favorites, watch history, and Career Tracks (ordered groups of courses with aggregate completion).
• Search — full-text across titles, plus optional subtitle search that jumps to the spoken moment.
• Progress — activity heatmap, streaks, a daily goal, and rename-safe matching so a moved or renamed file keeps its progress and bookmarks.

Notes

• The build is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run — choose More info → Run anyway.
• Verify your download against SHA256SUMS.txt.
• Playback is powered by bundled libmpv (mpv's media library, GPL); see the license files included with the app.
