Turn your iPhone or iPad into a local WebDAV server and personal content hub. Zwind maps local files, SMB/NAS, cloud drives, RSS/OPML feeds, web media, and Emby libraries into one WebDAV-style resource tree, so files, feeds, web lists, media, and links can be browsed, read, played, streamed, and shared. Zwind is more than a file server or player. It is a lightweight workspace with built-in WebDAV Browser, Web Browser, Feed View, Video Player, Music Player, Image Viewer, Text Editor, Markdown Reader, Bookmarks, and more. Map content into Zwind instead of copying it into the app, then read, play, edit, search, cast, or continue in third-party WebDAV clients and players. Background WebDAV server operation is supported. Start free with one WebDAV server. Upgrade to Zwind VIP for multiple servers, advanced resolvers, and richer content workflows. Selected resolvers can also be unlocked separately.

Supported resolvers: * RSS Projection: RSS, Atom, podcasts, and OPML imports as readable feed resources. * Quark Search Import: search and save supported Quark Drive shares. * Web Media Projection: parse web media sites into clean virtual folders, so webpage media can be browsed, read, or played like files. * Emby Library Projection: browse Emby libraries as WebDAV directories with metadata, filters, pagination, search, and playback. FEED VIEW Feed View is Zwind’s unified reading layer. Aggregate RSS, Atom, OPML, podcasts, YouTube channels, Reddit communities, and web sources connected through Web Media rules. Articles, images, audio, and video resources can appear together in one subscription timeline.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WebDAV Navigator at 4.2 against Zwind's 3.6. WebDAV Navigator also leads on ratings volume (752 vs 11). Zwind's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebDAV Navigator sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Zwind sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WebDAV Navigator holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebDAV Navigator has 752 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of WebDAV Navigator's written reviews are positive against 80% of Zwind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WebDAV Navigator ships an update every 3 months, Zwind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
