Davvy streams the movies and TV shows already on your own server — any NAS or computer that speaks WebDAV — and presents them like a real streaming service. A LIBRARY THAT LOOKS THE PART • Posters, backdrops, ratings and synopses fetched automatically • TV shows organised into seasons with episode names, stills and runtimes • Recently Added, Continue Watching, and a Play button that always knows the next episode • Messy filenames, box sets and loose files cleaned up into proper titles PLAYS EVERYTHING • Native playback for MP4 and MOV with Picture in Picture and AirPlay • A built-in engine for MKV, AVI and more — no conversion, no transcoding server • Subtitle and audio-track selection, plus manual audio sync for wireless speakers • Resume positions sync between your devices through iCloud ONE LIBRARY, THREE ROUTES • Add a home address, a Tailscale address and a public address for the same server — Davvy picks the fastest one it can reach • Limit scans to the folders you choose and exclude the ones you don't PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no tracking, no analytics • Your server credentials and watch history live in your private iCloud, never on our servers Davvy requires a WebDAV server (Synology, QNAP, TrueNAS, Nextcloud, rclone serve, Apache or nginx DAV, and more) and does not provide any content of its own.
