About
Porthole is a native iPhone and iPad client for Frigate—the open-source NVR you run yourself.
Built by a small business for the self-hosting and Frigate community: connect to your own server, watch go2rtc WebRTC streams, and keep video between your device and your installation. There is no Hallway Trails account and no cloud relay.
FEATURES (NOW)
• Live camera grid with tap-to-open detail view
• Landscape fullscreen for wide cameras
• Works with authenticated or unauthenticated Frigate setups
• Passwords stored in the iOS Keychain on your device
• Reorder cameras to match how you actually use them
• Local network support for home LAN servers
COMING NEXT
We’re bringing more of the Frigate web experience into a native app—supported by ads and optional Pro:
• Event review (detections and alerts from your Frigate server)
• Timeline browsing across cameras
• Recordings playback
• Export clips to share or save
• More of the day-to-day Frigate workflow without leaving your phone
SUPPORTING THE APP
Porthole is free to use. A small banner on the Live grid and an optional Porthole Pro subscription ($4.99/year) help fund continued development, maintenance, and these upcoming features for Frigate users. Pro removes ads and is billed through your Apple ID—entirely separate from your Frigate server.
REQUIREMENTS
• A running Frigate NVR with go2rtc live streams
• Network access from your device to that server (LAN or HTTPS)
If you already self-host Frigate and want a clean native client—not another cloud camera subscription—Porthole is for you.
