Ten parts, one library.
A short map of what FoxDL does. Each part has a page of its own — what it is for, how it behaves, and the guides that take the subject apart properly rather than listing what the app has.
Opens the file other players hand back to you.
A full media engine, not a wrapper around the system player.
What it does VaultA locked room, and what is inside it is encrypted.
Move a file into the vault and it leaves your library, your search results and the Files app. What is left on disk is encrypted under a name that means nothing.
What it does File managerA library that stays tidy without you sorting it.
Real folders, visible in the Files app, with a media library layered on top.
What it does Download engineChunked, multi-connection, and it survives being closed.
Parallel chunks written straight into the final file, handed to a background session when you leave.
What it does Web browserA web browser whose job is getting things into your library.
Tabs, bookmarks and a content blocker, plus detection that notices playable media on a page.
What it does Live TV & IPTVYour own subscription, at provider scale.
FoxDL supplies the client; the service you subscribe to supplies the content.
What it does Podcasts & radioTwo libraries the world already publishes.
Podcasts from the open Podcast Index, stations from Radio Browser. We host neither.
What it does TransferGetting files in, without a cable or a cloud detour.
Two direct routes and every cloud you already use. Neither direct route touches a server we run.
What it does Privacy & securityNo account, because there is nothing to sign in to.
Your files, playlists, stations and panel credentials live on your device.
What it does Across your devicesOne app, sized for the screen it is on.
The iPhone build, the iPad layout and the Mac app are the same app, and one Pro subscription covers all three.
What it doesThe guides
Eleven pages on the subjects behind the features: what the formats are, why iOS behaves the way it does, and what to look for in any app that claims to handle them.
- Why your iPhone opens one video file and refuses the next Containers, codecs, and the three ways to watch a file iOS refuses to open.
- Subtitles, audio tracks, and the three ways they go wrong Embedded versus separate files, the encoding that mangles accented letters, and how to fix drift.
- Hidden, locked, encrypted — three words that are sold as one What separates hiding from locking from encrypting, and why the recovery code is the whole thing.
- What a download manager does that a web browser will not Why transfers stop when you switch apps, what resuming really requires, and how streams become files.
- What has to happen before a web page will give you its file The four ways a page delivers video, and why only one of them is a file you can keep.
- M3U, Xtream Codes, EPG: what the words mean and which one you have M3U or Xtream, what an EPG needs to work, what causes buffering, and who can fix it.
- Where your files actually live on an iPhone, and who can see them The sandbox, where downloads actually go, and why renaming a file breaks so many apps.
- Five ways to get a large file onto an iPhone, and when each is the right one Wi-Fi, device to device, cloud, WebDAV or a drive — which route suits which job.
- Lossless, bitrate and the equalizer: what changes the sound and what does not What lossless changes, what an equalizer really does, and what improves listening first.
- Nobody owns podcasting, and that explains almost everything about it Podcasting is RSS with no owner. That explains the offline, the delays and the dead stations.
- What a media app on your phone can see, and what it should never send What a media app can see, how to read a privacy label, and why a lock is not encryption.
