Serious local media tooling without streaming-service assumptions.

LMTV is being built for people who actually manage libraries: local files, duplicates, tags, derived clips, ratings, queues, and offline use that still makes sense months later.

Compact library

Fast review and tagging

Sync optional

Identity grouping

Duplicates and derived works stay coherent.

Designed around the same rules as the app: clear hierarchy, surface depth, and restrained motion.

Default mode

Local-first, not login-first

The app is meant to work before you ever create an account. Sign-in only exists for optional sync and cloud-backed metadata.

Library model

Identity-aware media management

Exact duplicates, visually identical files, and derived clips can be grouped so your library describes the work, not just the path.

Tagging flow

Built for repeated curation

Hierarchies, implied rules, queue-based review, and player-side tagging are there because one-off folder browsing is not enough.

Playback

Player-centric review

Move through media, keep context, make decisions quickly, and avoid bouncing between a viewer and a metadata tool.

Sync model

Optional cloud, bounded scope

Sync is about app metadata, not turning the product into a remote media host. Raw local media remains a local concern.

Release path

Store releases are planned, not rushed

The product is still in active development. App Store, Google Play, and Microsoft Store releases come after the core shell and workflows are stable.

Workflow

Closer to VLC and MPC-HC in attitude, with much stronger library structure on top.

Browse local media directly

Start with libraries you already own, not a cloud catalog or a mandatory account flow.

Tag, rate, and merge identities

Build structure into the collection with tags, ratings, works, and saved views that remain useful over time.

Sync only if it helps

Bring your metadata to another device without making cloud dependency the core of the product.

Development state

Active build, public website, embed surface, auth groundwork.

The website and auth bridge are live now. The app itself is still being assembled and refined before preview builds go out.

What exists already

Optional sign-in with Google and magic link flows
Local-first website, legal pages, and public embed route
Shared design language based on the app theme rules

Policies

Simple policies because the app default is simple.

LMTV is built around local ownership. That keeps the privacy story and the product obligations much cleaner than a cloud-first media platform.
