Field notes
The free tier covers MP4, MOV and HLS, while Pro unlocks the built-in libVLC engine for other formats and DLNA/UPnP servers. The page lists monthly, yearly and lifetime options; yearly access starts with a three-day trial, but prices are shown in the app by local currency. Guides cover NAS setup, Tailscale/VPN access and subtitle handling. The site says the library stays on-device and cites an App Store privacy label of “Data Not Collected.”
