 Just Watch
Firmly based on Mac OS X’s QuickTime Framework, yFlicks can play any movie format the QuickTime Player can play. And yFlicks is much less obtrusive if you just want a small window showing a movie — instead of the QuickTime Player’s massive “brushed metal” surface.
 Please Remain Seated
Don’t you just hate it when you have to get up to tinker with your player’s settings while watching a movie in full-screen mode? yFlicks comes with full support for the Apple Remote. And that doesn’t just mean play/pause and the likes. You can also access all of your library via remote control — just hit the “Menu” button.
 First Glance
Sometimes, a static preview image just doesn’t ring a bell. That’s why yFlicks starts playing the movie your mouse hovers over automatically; and you don’t have to open the movie first, then play, wait a while, stop, close it, and go to the next movie. Just move your mouse to the next movie’s preview image, and that movie will start playing.
 Spin Me Around
So you’ve shot a video with your digital camera in upright format. Now you’re trying to watch it, and it’s shown sideways. Duh. But never mind — with yFlicks, a perfectly oriented movie is just one click away.
 You’ll Love the Interface
Beauty isn’t just an end in itself. Whenever you find yourself playing around with something because you like the way it works, it really just goes to show that as far as user interface design is concerned, beauty is nothing more than a sign of intuitive, non-obtrusive handling. We strongly believe that the beauty that lies in yFlicks will meet your eye. And by the way: If yFlicks loves you, too, its main window will be full of hearts for you (see the “Appearance” preferences).

 Stay Organized
Quite similarly to Apple’s iApplications, yFlicks not only lets you arrange movies in groups; you can also have yFlicks reflect any change to your library on the file system level — keeping your movies folder nice and tidy on the fly. Moreover, “smart groups” let you filter your library’s contents by criteria such as rating or date.
 Finders Keepers
If you’re like us, you don’t just want to watch web clips online. If they made you smile, you’re inclined to keep them. So it’s a good thing that yFlicks supports downloading from video communities such as YouTube, Google Video, DailyMotion, CollegeHumor, MyVideo, SevenLoad, and ClipFish. And it couldn’t be easier: yFlicks can add a button to your browser’s toolbar, which then triggers a download to your library whenever you’re on one of those communities’ video pages. (Playback requires the excellent free Perian codec.) Or do it the Mac way via Drag & Drop directly from your browser window to the yFlicks library. And you can even export downloaded movies to other movie formats — e.g., for viewing them on your iPod.
 Non-Stop Fun
Every group in your library doubles as a playlist: Just set a sorting order or shuffle the movies for any given group, then lean back and watch yFlicks play them consecutively.
 Clever Enough to Forget
yFlicks doesn’t permanently add each and every movie you watch to its library. Rather, movies that are opened via double-click are added to a special section of your library that gets cleared each time you quit yFlicks. If you want to keep them, just drag them to somewhere else in your library.
