Keep your own photos and videos in a private library on iPhone, then enjoy them full screen. Private Play is a video vault and offline player. Import from Photos or Files, unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, and use it without an app account. Imports are copies: your originals stay in Photos until you delete them yourself. Use it as: • An encrypted vault for the photos and videos you import, stored on your iPhone • An offline video player for flights and travel • A swipe-through player for your own videos, with Shuffle, Favorites and Highlights • A way to download your own NAS videos over WebDAV, or with DS file and SMB through Files. NAS downloads stay in your local library, outside the vault Your photos and videos, in one private player. Private Play keeps them in an encrypted library on your iPhone. Watch full-screen, save favorite moments as Highlights, and enjoy them offline. No app account, ads, or tracking. Mark multiple Highlights in a video and replay them in a looping grid. Browse All, Favorites, or Highlights, and play in order or on shuffle. Import from Photos, Files, or the share sheet, or select files and folders from your own NAS. The app lock uses biometrics only. Playback pauses and private content is covered when the app moves to the background. Private Play Pro offers an auto-renewing Monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase for full access. Both plans support Family Sharing. Apple shows local prices and terms before purchase. Existing library items remain exportable without Pro. Before changing phones or deleting the app, export important media to Photos; encryption is not a backup. — Privacy Policy: https://yangworks.dev/private-play/privacy Terms of Use: https://yangworks.dev/private-play/terms Private Play Monthly is an auto-renewable subscription. Eligible new subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial. If you start a free trial, payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand.
