Private video library
Your memories were never meant to live in folders.
Thousands of personal videos disappear into forgotten folders, old drives, and filenames that no longer mean anything. LocalStream transforms the videos already on your computer into a beautiful, private library you can browse, organise, and enjoy again.
No account. No uploads. Your videos stay on your device.
Those are not just files.
They are birthdays, holidays, first steps, road trips, family voices, old homes, favourite pets, and people as you remember them.
When videos become too difficult to find, those moments quietly disappear from everyday life.
From clutter to clarity
Find the videos you forgot you had.
LocalStream replaces endless folders and meaningless filenames with a visual library built around recognition. Browse thumbnails, preview moments, organise collections, and return to the videos that matter.
A better way
From scattered folders to a library you will actually use.
Recognise
Automatic thumbnails and preview frames reveal what is inside each video.
Organise
Use tags, playlists, favourites, titles, cover art, and filters in ways that match how you remember things.
Rediscover
Find forgotten moments, continue watching, and enjoy your collection again.
Every collection has a story
Whatever you record, give it a place worth returning to.
Family memories, travel, creative projects, concerts, wildlife, sports, learning, and private archives all become easier to recognise and enjoy when they live in one visual library.
Recognise before you open
Know what is inside a video before pressing Play.
LocalStream generates multiple preview frames for each video, helping you recognise people, places, and moments without opening files one by one.
- Recognise videos without relying on filenames
- Move across multiple preview moments
- Keep previews cached locally on your device
Built for returning to your videos
Organising is only useful when it helps you enjoy your collection again.
LocalStream gives personal video collections the tools they need to remain easy to browse, understand, and revisit over time.
- Bring videos from different folders and connected drives into one browsable library
- Recognise content through generated thumbnails and hover previews
- Find moments using search, filters, tags, and playlists
- Return to unfinished videos with watch progress and Continue Watching
- Keep important videos close with favourites and custom cover art
- Protect your organisation with local backup and restore
- Watch supported 2D and 3D video formats
What makes the difference
Tools designed around how people actually find and remember videos.
Bring scattered folders together
Turn folders and connected drives into a searchable visual shelf. Browse videos in one place, save progress, build playlists, add tags, and keep important clips close.
Recognise memories instantly
See what is inside a video before pressing Play. Generated thumbnails, preview frames, hover navigation, custom cover art, and cinematic backdrops make large collections easier to understand.
Protect and expand your library
Back up the organisation you have taken time to build, restore it when needed, and watch supported 180 side-by-side or 360 mono videos using LocalStream’s available 3D viewing modes.
Built around how people remember
Recognition is easier than remembering filenames and folder paths.
You may not remember where a video is stored or what it was called, but you will recognise the people, places, and moments inside it. LocalStream uses visual browsing, previews, tags, playlists, cover art, and local metadata to make that recognition easier.
Less searching. Less mental clutter. More confidence that the moments you care about are still within reach.
Make it feel like your library
Your memories, presented in a theme that feels like yours.
Choose from eight carefully designed themes while keeping the same familiar LocalStream layout and organisation.
Private by design
Your personal history should remain personal.
LocalStream works directly with folders and connected drives selected by you. Your videos are not uploaded, no account is required for the desktop workflow, and your collection remains under your control.
- No cloud upload
- No required desktop account
- Your videos remain on your storage
LocalStream is not a streaming service and not a media server. It is designed around local storage, so the videos you already own stay where they are while your library becomes easier to use.
Why folders stop working
Storage keeps videos safe. LocalStream makes them usable.
File Explorer
Stores files reliably, but large collections become difficult to recognise, browse, organise, and revisit.
Media servers
Powerful for network streaming, but they often require server setup, account management, and ongoing configuration.
Streaming platforms
Easy to browse, but designed around someone else’s catalogue rather than the videos you already own.
LocalStream
Turns your own folders and connected drives into a private visual library with thumbnails, search, organisation, progress, playlists, and local control.

Does LocalStream upload my videos?
No. LocalStream is designed around local folders and connected drives selected by you.
Do I need an account?
No account is required to use the desktop app.
Can I use videos stored on an external drive?
Yes. LocalStream can work with user-selected folders on connected drives. The drive must be connected for those video files to play.
Is LocalStream a media server?
No. It is a desktop library app, not a server setup for streaming across a network.
Can it organise home videos?
Yes. It is suitable for personal collections, home videos, project clips, and local media folders.
Can I use custom cover art?
Yes. LocalStream includes custom cover art tools for videos in your local library.
What happens if a connected drive is disconnected?
The library can still show organisation data, while files on that drive will need the drive reconnected to play.
Can I back up my LocalStream organisation data?
Yes. LocalStream Pro includes export and import tools for supported organisation data.
Can LocalStream handle a large video collection?
LocalStream is designed to make large local collections easier to browse and organise. Performance will depend on the number and size of files, the speed of the connected storage, available system resources, and the formats being used.
What video formats are supported?
Support depends on the desktop playback stack, installed codecs, and the video format. Common supported formats will provide the most reliable experience.
