About:
iSwiff is a standalone desktop application that allows users to play Adobe Flash (SWF) files in a dedicated, full-screen window. It provides a sandboxed environment for running Flash content outside of a web browser, which was particularly valuable for testing, presentations, or preserving legacy interactive media. Its main value was offering a cleaner, more controlled playback experience for Flash animations and applications.

Key Features:

Full-screen Flash (SWF) playback
Standalone, browser-independent application
Dedicated window for focused content viewing
Support for legacy Flash file formats

Use Cases:

Testing Flash animations and applications in isolation
Running legacy Flash-based presentations or kiosk content
Viewing archived SWF files without a web browser

Alternatives:

Adobe Flash Player projector – Official standalone Flash player from Adobe, more feature-complete but discontinued.
Ruffle – Modern Flash emulator that runs in browsers and standalone, focused on security and preservation.
