Glyph is a local media platform for Video / Series / VR libraries, with built-in Funscript heatmaps, metadata tools, playlists, and device integrations.
Glyph combines media library management , funscript workflows , and device-aware playback in one consistent system. Instead of juggling multiple tools, you can manage metadata, tags, scripts, playlists, playback, and device controls in a single app with shared UX and history-aware manager tools.
This software is free for everyone to download and use.
I’ve also been creating Funscripts for some time, and if you’d like to support me, I’d really appreciate it. Your support helps me keep making more Funscripts
