## What is CineLocal?

CineLocal turns the video files you already own into a private, beautiful movie library. Import movies from Files, iCloud Drive, USB storage, or other local sources. CineLocal organizes your collection with poster artwork, details, ratings, genres, runtime, collections, playlists, and seamless resume playback—so finding something to watch feels like browsing your own streaming service.

YOUR MOVIES STAY YOURS
• No account required
• No cloud uploads
• No recurring subscription
• Your library stays private and available offline

BUILD A LIBRARY YOU’LL WANT TO BROWSE
Choose the view that suits your collection: Poster Grid, Compact, List, Cinematic, Shelf, or Carousel. CineLocal can match movie details from clear filenames, create a Continue Watching row, and let you organize titles into collections and playlists.

WATCH ON YOUR TERMS
Play your local video files wherever you are. Connect to SMB shares on a NAS or home server, stream over your local network without uploading to the cloud, transfer movies directly between devices, or watch together on nearby devices connected to the same Wi-Fi.

Try every feature free for 7 days. After that, browsing and playing your library stays free, and a one-time $1.99 purchase unlocks watch parties, transfers, Nearby Stream, network shares, unlimited imports and extra skins. No subscription.

For best metadata matching, use clear filenames such as:
Inception (2010).mp4
Dune 2021.mkv
