---

A media player with a novel interface allowing you to navigate by speaker.

- Visualize who speaks when & for how long

- Jump/skip speaker segments

- Set different playback speeds per speaker

- Auto-skip speakers

It's a better, more efficient way to listen to podcasts, interviews, press confrences etc.

Supports YouTube videos and your own local media files.

Visit the [website](https://zanshin.sh) for demo videos and screenshots of the UI/interface.

残心 / Zanshin is powered by the very fast [Senko](https://github.com/narcotic-sh/senko) speaker diarization pipeline.

## Installation

Zanshin is currently only available in packaged form for macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon.

Download from the [website](https://zanshin.sh) or Github [Releases](https://github.com/narcotic-sh/zanshin/releases/latest).

For Windows and Linux, packaging is not available yet and will be coming soon. In the mean time, you can get Zanshin running on both of those platforms by entering in some commands in the terminal. Refer to [`DEV_SETUP.md`](/DEV_SETUP.md) for instructions.

## macOS FAQ

Can I backup and restore all the items in my Zanshin Vault?




Yes, simply backup the following file:



  
~/Library/Application Support/Zanshin/zanshin/media.db



To restore it (like after you install Zanshin on a new Mac, for example), simply move the file into that same location.


How do I uninstall Zanshin?




Delete two items:



  


Zanshin.app in /Applications



  
The folder ~/Library/Application Support/Zanshin
