## What is GPlay?

GPlay is a privacy-first video player for your personal videos. Import your own videos into an in-app private vault, protect them with a passcode plus Face ID / Touch ID, and stop worrying when a family member, coworker, or friend borrows your phone for a moment.

Core Security
• Passcode + biometric lock: passcode on first launch, then instant unlock with Face ID / Touch ID
• Auto-lock: the app locks automatically when backgrounded; your identity is re-verified on return
• Intruder detection: the front camera captures a snapshot after repeated wrong-passcode attempts
• Panic gesture: flip the phone face down to instantly lock (the PiP window closes too)
• Private storage: imported videos live inside the app, fully isolated from the system photo library

Powerful Playback
• Free formats: MP4, MOV, M4V
• Premium formats: MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, WebM, and more
• Continuous playback: tap any video on the home screen to auto-build a queue, auto-advance to the next, and keep controlling via the MiniPlayer after returning home
• External subtitles: SRT / VTT with auto-discovery of matching files and in-player switching
• Watch history: browse records by date, resume, delete single items, or clear all
• Gesture controls for brightness and progress, variable playback speed
• Picture-in-Picture: keep watching in a floating window while using other apps
• AirPlay: cast to compatible devices with a global status strip and disconnect control

Smart Management
• Albums + custom tags for quick organization
• Wi-Fi transfer for batch import of videos and matching subtitle files
• Waterfall grid with smart portrait/landscape layout
• Recycle bin — recover accidentally deleted videos
• Privacy Dashboard: at-a-glance view of active protections and security event timeline

【Privacy Commitment】
All videos are stored only on your device. GPlay does not upload, access, or collect any video content or user data. Face ID / Touch ID data is managed by the system and is not accessible to the app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.21 — 2026-08-19

GPlay 1.0.21 (iPhone / iPad / Mac)

Added Library Recovery on iOS and macOS. It can try to restore abnormal local video information and relink media files that are still present on your device.
Fixed an issue where local videos could appear incorrectly or fail to play in some cases.
Improved the stability of library loading and recovery flows.

### 1.0.20 — 2026-07-31

GPlay 1.0.20 for iPhone & iPad

This update focuses on reliability and polish for the private video vault:
• More stable lock, library, player, and Wi‑Fi Transfer flows
• Fixes for layout overflow and edge-case crashes
• General performance and stability improvements

Your videos stay on your device. Local-first privacy is unchanged.

### 1.0.19 — 2026-05-19

1.0.19 Trust Hardening + Album Re-entry:

Stronger transfer trust:
• Wi-Fi Transfer now shows a one-time PIN on your phone before a browser can access the file list
• Protected routes stay locked until the browser session is authorized
• Expired PIN, wrong PIN, authorized session and ended-session states are clearer

Better organization:
• Albums return as a Library filter on iPhone and a Library sidebar item on iPad
• Multi-select actions again include Add to Album and Create Album
• The default Home grid stays focused on videos instead of mixing album cards into the main poster flow

Release cleanup:
• GPlay theme tokens now come from the app's own Paper / Cinema color system
• Screenshot seed videos are kept outside the release asset bundle
• Membership verification and AirPlay status documentation were audited for this release

### 1.0.18 — 2026-05-08

1.0.18 Private Cinema Redesign:

A full visual refresh:
• New Lock, Splash and Onboarding screens built around GPlay's aperture mark
• Redesigned Home library with brighter cards, clearer import states and a stronger MiniPlayer
• Immersive Cinema player controls with a cleaner rail, progress surface and AirPlay state
• Rebuilt Settings, Membership, Privacy Dashboard, Albums, Tags, Wi-Fi Transfer and Watch History surfaces

Still privacy-first:
• Your videos remain local to your device
• Passcode, Face ID / Touch ID, auto-lock, intruder detection and panic gesture behavior are preserved
• Continuous playback, PiP, AirPlay, subtitles, albums, tags and Wi-Fi import stay intact

This release makes GPlay feel like a dedicated private cinema without changing the privacy promise.

### 1.0.17 — 2026-04-25

1.0.17 Stability and Performance Release:

Under the hood:
• Leaner database: retired legacy playlist and secondary-space fields for a smaller app and faster launch
• Safe migration: all existing videos, albums and playback history are preserved during the upgrade
• Healthier codebase: cleared ~300 legacy references to pave the way for upcoming features

All core features preserved:
• PIN passcode lock with Face ID / Touch ID biometric unlock
• Intruder detection and panic gesture (flip face-down to lock instantly)
• Continuous playback, automatic background PiP, and the global AirPlay status strip
• Albums + custom tags, Wi-Fi transfer, resume-from-history playback
• Recycle bin and the Privacy Dashboard

A polish-only update — no new buttons, just a steadier GPlay.
