OKOBoxLocal media and history
When you import media, the app reads the files you select and stores local copies for playback and organization. File names, sizes, formats, duration and thumbnails are processed on your device.
Playback progress, watch history, favorites, playlists and preferences are stored locally. Local playback and organization do not automatically upload your media or watch history to our servers.
Private space
Media added to Private space and its catalog are encrypted on your device. The encryption key is managed by the system’s secure storage. Unlocking uses system authentication; the app does not receive your facial data or device passcode.
Viewing or playing an item creates a temporary decrypted file, which is cleaned up when the space locks. Exported copies are managed by the destination or app you choose and are no longer protected by Private space. Adding an item does not automatically delete the original from Photos or other source locations.
Wi-Fi transfer
When enabled, Wi-Fi transfer starts a temporary receiver on your local network. It uses your device’s local IP address and port, together with the selected file’s name, size and contents, to complete the transfer. Files travel directly from your computer to your device, without our cloud storage.
The receiver uses HTTP. Enable it only on a trusted network. The service stops when you leave the transfer page or the app enters the background.
Casting
When you choose AirPlay or DLNA casting, the system or app discovers playback devices on your network and processes device names, network addresses and playback controls. Your selected receiver gets the media you cast and the information needed to play it.
Local DLNA casting serves a temporary media address on your local network and requires the app to stay in the foreground. Cast only to devices you trust.
System permissions
| Permission or capability | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Photo and file selection | Read media you choose in the system picker and import it into the library or Private space. |
| Local network | Receive Wi-Fi uploads, discover casting devices and transmit selected media. |
| Device authentication | Unlock the key for Private space. The system performs authentication; the app does not receive biometric templates or your device passcode. |
You can change relevant permissions in iOS Settings. Denying a permission affects features that depend on it.
Storage and deletion
Media and history stay on your device until you delete them. The library and Private space each provide file management. Clearing watch history removes history, not media files.
Deleting an imported copy does not delete the external original. Files placed directly in the app’s directory through file sharing are local files in that directory.
In iOS, Delete App removes the app and its local data; Offload App may keep documents and data. The Private space key is tied to the current device, so export important files before changing devices or deleting the app. Separately saved copies and system backups must be managed separately.
Feedback emails and attachments you send are used only to respond and troubleshoot, and are deleted when no longer needed.
