What it does

It organises itself, then lets you make it yours.

Large local libraries usually end up as folders of file names. Media House reads those names and turns them into something you can browse.

From file names

Actors, series, years, categories

Names, episode numbers, quality tags and recurring words are detected automatically. Accept a suggestion and it becomes a real category on every matching file.

Your call

Favourites, scores, genres out of 10

Score any file, give each genre its own strength, tag freely, and drag labels between sections when the app guessed wrong.

Smart collections

Rules, not lists

“4K, over 90 minutes, unwatched, Action scored 7+”. Collections update themselves as files arrive and can be pinned to Home.

Player

Markers, previews, resume

Hover the timeline for a frame preview, drag to scrub, mark moments with a screenshot, resume where you stopped, and switch subtitles or audio tracks.

Anywhere in the house

Phone & TV access

Turn on a PIN-protected page on your own network and any phone, tablet or TV browser can browse and play. Scan a QR code to open it.

Private by design

App lock and a local library

Password or Touch ID lock, nothing uploaded, no telemetry. Optional online lookups for actor photos, film details and subtitles happen only when you ask.

In use

Pricing

Try everything for 15 days. Then one small yearly price.

No sign-up, no card to start. When the trial ends the app keeps your library, favourites, scores and categories exactly as they are and asks whether you want to carry on. Subscriptions are handled by the App Store or Microsoft Store and can be cancelled any time.
