## What is Castora?

Castora is the private home for everything you own — one smart player for your local files, network media, cameras, and personal sources.

No accounts. No catalogs. No content included. Just your own media, beautifully organized and completely under your control.

EVERY SOURCE YOU OWN

- Play video and audio stored right on your device
- Connect media from your local network (DLNA/UPnP)
- View your own network cameras in the same place
- Add your personal live sources and lists — you stay in charge

DESIGN YOUR VIEW, SAVE THE SCENE

- Watch several sources side by side on a freeform canvas
- Resize and arrange tiles any way you like — audio follows your tap
- Save any layout as a Scene and bring it back in one tap

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

- Lock any collection behind Face ID or Touch ID
- Backups encrypted with a key only you hold — no one else can read them

SMART GUIDE

- Bring your own program guide and it lines up automatically
- Intelligent matching connects guide entries to your items, even when names differ
- Merges guides across sources, fixes time offsets, fills the gaps

PAUSE LIVE, CATCH THE MOMENT

- Pause live playback and rewind to see what you missed
- Jump back to live any time
- Runs in a temporary buffer — nothing is ever recorded or saved

ON THE BIG SCREEN

- Send your playback to any AirPlay display
- Full external display support

YOUR ACTIVITY, YOUR EYES ONLY

- On-device insights: your sessions, habits, and best-performing sources
- Never transmitted, never shared — it stays on your device

BUILT FOR SERIOUS LIBRARIES

- Collections, groups, and favorites — structure everything your way
- Import structured lists with full control over organization
- Fine-tune playback behavior, buffering, and performance
- Smooth and reliable even with the largest libraries
- Back up your setup and restore it anywhere — settings only, never media
