Read full descriptionHide full description
Your photos, videos, and favorite moments, in one private player. Private Play combines full-screen playback, an encrypted on-device library, and Highlights that bring you straight back to the parts you love. No app account, ads, or tracking. Supports iOS 27; requires iOS 17 or later. SAVE THE BEST PARTS WITH HIGHLIGHTS β’ Mark multiple moments in one video. Adjust the start and end, preview, then save. β’ Highlights remember time ranges without copying or re-encoding the original video. β’ Revisit them in an autoplaying, looping grid. Watch All, Favorites, or Highlights in sequential or shuffle order. A NEW HOME FOR YOUR MEDIA β’ Discover random previews and shelves for Highlights, favorites, and your library. β’ Swipe vertically through full-screen photos and videos. Pause, seek, jump ten seconds, or hide controls for an unobstructed view. β’ Search and filter your library, pinch to change grid density, and inspect media information. IMPORT AND ORGANIZE β’ Import from Photos, Files, or the share sheet. Photo imports leave the originals untouched; supported Live Photos retain their motion. β’ Skip identical imports automatically. β’ Optionally browse and download from your own NAS: use DS file or SMB through Files, or connect to WebDAV. Select files or folders before downloading. β’ NAS sync downloads from your configured source; it does not upload media. Downloaded media is encrypted on this device. PRIVATE ON YOUR IPHONE β’ On-device encryption, keys in the iOS Keychain, and an app lock with device authentication. β’ Playback pauses and private content is covered when the app moves to the background. β’ Play imported media offline. Optional NAS connections use your own server; we do not host your library. β’ Export vault items back to Photos, including without Pro. Keep your own backups: we cannot recover a lost device or forgotten app passcode. PRIVATE PLAY PRO Choose an auto-renewing Monthly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase for full access.
