Your private cinema, worn on your head

1. Add the local folder

   On the Cloud Storages page, click Add Cloud Storage and pick Local Folder under Local Storages. The photo library is at /Documents/Photos — pick that for photos and videos only, or its parent /Documents to take the app’s other files along with them. You are asked for photo library permission the first time.

2. Create the backup

   On the Backups page, click Add Backup, set the source to the local folder you just added, and name one or more cloud directories as destinations — several clouds at once is fine.

3. Turn on File System Watcher

   Enable it in the backup's settings and it monitors the source folder in real time, so new photos, new videos and newly saved files are backed up on their own.

The photo library is read on demand: an original is pulled from the system library only when the backup uploads it and released straight afterwards, so the library is never duplicated into the app’s own storage. Full steps are on the help page.

• Emby and Jellyfin client

  Connect your own Emby or Jellyfin servers and browse libraries with posters, cast and Continue Watching. When your CloudDrive can reach the same file, Direct Stream plays it straight from the cloud at full quality — including formats servers can't transcode — while watch history stays in sync.

  On the server side there is also an Emby and Jellyfin companion plugin: live library updates, playback-aware prefetch, and path mappings that configure themselves.

• Immersive formats supported

  180° and 360° VR video, Apple Spatial (MV-HEVC) video, side-by-side and over-under stereo 3D, fisheye, EAC cubemap, and MVC 3D Blu-ray from an ISO. Passthrough stays available while you watch.

• Cross-cloud transfers

  Copy or move files between providers, with transfers you can pause and resume, and whole folders upload recursively. Backup is above.

• Security

  Two-factor authentication, encrypted folders and active session monitoring, with API tokens that grant scoped, expiring access.

• A WebDAV server of its own

  Your Vision Pro is itself a WebDAV server: every cloud you have connected is served over a standard protocol, so third-party apps on the same network — players, file managers, backup tools — read your cloud content directly without signing in to each provider again.

• Archive folders

  Open ISO, zip, 7z, RAR and tar archives in cloud storage as read-only folders, without downloading or extracting them; a SACD ISO shows as DSF audio files. A Core Pro feature.

• Progress sync

  Stop on one device and continue on another at the same place, with the same audio, subtitles and delays; PDF, text files and e-books keep their reading position. Progress stays in your own cloud. An App Pro feature.

• VoiceOver reads subtitles and PDFs

  With VoiceOver on, the player reads each new subtitle line, recognising Blu-ray and other picture subtitles first. PDF pages are read paragraph by paragraph, and scanned pages and comics are recognised on the device first.

• E-books

  EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 and CBZ files open straight from the cloud, without downloading the whole book. There is a table of contents, font size, line spacing, margins and themes; turn pages one at a time or scroll continuously, and vertical books work too. Tap either side of the page or swipe to turn it. The reading position syncs across your devices through progress sync (App Pro). Books with DRM and Kindle KFX books can't be read.

• Lyrics

  The audio player shows timed lyrics from a .lrc file next to the song, and reads the lyrics stored in the song's own tags. The line being sung follows the music, with its translation underneath, and tapping a line plays from there. Songs in a CUE sheet or an SACD find their lyrics file by title.

• And these

  Library metadata from local .nfo files and artwork in Plex, Jellyfin and Emby naming (no online scraping), disk cache with configurable eviction, independent audio and subtitle delay, dark and light themes, English and Chinese interfaces.
