One of the best apps I’ve used
The layout and UI just makes sense. There’s a lot of buttons and switches that make Frigate a versatile tool. This app shows exactly what makes sense, but also doesn’t hide anything.
If you use Frigate, this is the iOS app to use.

Thank you so much! This means the world to me! I’m thrilled that you’re enjoying the app. I’ve invested a significant amount of time into it, striving to create an app that I’d be proud to use and recommend. There are still many exciting ideas in the pipeline. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to write this thoughtful review.
Solid Frigate Interface

Thank you so much for taking the time to review! This really means the world to me!
Good App
It’s impressively good to see features and fixes continually being added to an app with a smaller dev team. Not to mention, the app is visually beautiful. I had a small issue with the app and it was resolved very fast via email.
Response from developer
Thanks so much—I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review. I’m also really glad you reached out by email instead of just living with the issue or giving up on the app. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people who use Kapal, whether it’s a bug, a feature idea, or just general feedback. Those conversations help shape where the app goes next. Thanks again for giving Kapal a chance, and for the kind words. They really do mean a lot.
Solid app for Frigate mobile access
Response from developer
Hello! Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. I’m working on the next version now and i will have these requests baked in. If you have suggestions like this please send me an email from the support area of the app and I’ll always see what I can do! This means the world to me! Thanks again!
Great viewer for Frigate NVR
1) easier way to switch between servers if you have multiple defined. It’s buried a few taps deep right now.
2) a way to deep link into a particular camera from another app (e.g. home assistant) so I can have a notification from HA launch Kapal into a camera live feed or recording.
Thanks for the great work!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot to hear that Kapal is the app you’ve been missing. I also really appreciate you taking the time to write up such thoughtful feedback. Good news on your first request: an easier way to switch between multiple servers is already coming in v1.9. I completely agree that the current flow takes too many taps, so that should be a much smoother experience soon. I also love your second idea. Deep linking directly into a specific camera from apps like Home Assistant makes a ton of sense, especially for notifications, and I’m going to add that to the roadmap as well. I’d like to get both of these completed for you. Thanks again for the encouragement and for helping make Kapal better!
