Welcome to iList, a third-party client designed specifically for OpenList/AList users. Whether you’re streaming audio and video, browsing cloud photo albums, or managing files of all kinds, iList provides an intuitive, effortless experience. About the App iList lets you add OpenList/AList servers or share links as storage drives. Browse, search, add files to favorites, upload and download files, and perform batch file operations. You can also manage multiple servers, account credentials, and access URLs, and switch between them whenever you like! What Makes iList Stand Out - File Browsing: Display folders and files together. Set and save a different sort order for each folder, so there’s no need to reconfigure it when switching folders. - Favorites: Add files and folders to your favorites for quick access to the content you love. - Photos: Preloading and Scroll View support make browsing smoother. - Video: Supports subtitle effects, bilingual subtitles, gesture controls, and video zoom. iList can automatically select subtitles based on your preferences, save playback progress, and open VLC, Infuse, and other apps for streaming or local playback. - Audio: Supports playlists, line-by-line and word-by-word synced lyrics, sleep timers, and audiobook progress tracking. Audio can also be downloaded in advance for seamless transitions. - PDF: View PDF files directly in the app. - Text and Code Files: View and edit text and source code files. - Servers: Supports multiple servers, multiple users, and even multiple Endpoints. On launch, iList can automatically select the appropriate Endpoint for your internal or external network. You can also add share links as read-only storage drives. - Independent Passcode Lock: Unlike a system-level app lock, iList’s built-in passcode lock provides an extra layer of privacy when sharing a device. Privacy iList contains no advertising or analytics SDKs, and the developer does not actively collect your personal information. Your server addresses, account credentials, access history, favorites, and cache are stored locally on your device. The files you access and related data are processed by the OpenList/AList service you configure. Please note: iList is a third-party client and does not provide OpenList/AList servers. Before using the app, make sure you have permission to access the relevant servers, accounts, files, and share links.
