## What is loopStream?

loopStream turns any device into a private file server—share folders across your Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch. No cloud. No account. No limits.

Pick one folder. Start the host. Pair a device with a 6-digit PIN or a QR scan. That folder is now reachable on your Wi-Fi—or anywhere in the world over an encrypted relay. Same PIN, no cloud storage, nothing leaves your control.

WHY loopStream
• Local-first—runs on your Wi-Fi at full LAN speed, zero cloud round-trips
• Remote when you need it—an encrypted relay reaches your files from anywhere
• Truly free—every feature, every platform, $0, no subscriptions, no seats
• Private—your files live on your devices, never on someone else's server

FEATURES
• Zero-config discovery—mDNS/Bonjour finds every host on the network automatically
• PIN & QR pairing with signed tokens kept in secure storage
• Full file browser—navigate, search, sort, create, rename and delete
• Resumable transfers with a background-safe upload queue, progress and retry
• Trusted devices & roles—grant read-only, upload-only or full access per folder
• Audit log—every pair, upload, download and delete recorded; export or wipe anytime
• Sandboxed—nothing outside the one folder you choose is ever reachable

EVERY PLATFORM, BOTH ROLES
Host or connect from macOS, iOS, Apple TV, Apple Watch,, and the web. Your phone can host its camera roll, a laptop connects to grab it, a headless server shares over the command line—all speaking the same local API.

APPLE TV & APPLE WATCH
On Apple TV, browse and stream your library on the big screen—video, photos, music and any file. On Apple Watch, browse, play audio on your wrist, hand video to the TV, act as its remote, and approve access requests on the go.

Your files. Your network. Nobody else's servers.
