Your media, every screen
One self-hosted server, rendered natively on TV and desktop, and in any browser on phone, tablet, or desktop. Movies, TV, and music in the same shelf.
Free during the open beta
Your media server, on every screen, with privacy-reviewed cloud edges.
Beamfall brings your own library to Apple TV, Mac, and the web — beautifully. The server is open source and self-hosted. Account systems are scoped to purchases and signed-in devices.
Beamfall Core and the self-hosted Web UI are free and open source — AGPL v3, no account required.
Why Beamfall
A premium player for the library you already own.
Native apps for the TV and the desktop, a complete free web app, and a privacy line we don’t cross.
Direct play first
Beamfall plays your files as-is whenever the device can, and transcodes honestly when it can’t — the player tells you which route it took.
Privacy you can verify
Account systems are scoped away from library and playback data.
Privacy-review gates keep Beamfall Account data limited to purchases and signed-in devices, with library, playback, and viewing data out of the account ledger.
Profiles & Restrictions
Per-Profile libraries and a restricted Profile for the household. Content limits stay on the server; clients only ever see what a Profile is allowed to see.
Works with the screens you have
Native clients for Apple TV and Mac — plus the free, complete self-hosted Web UI in any browser, on desktop, tablet, or phone. Shared tokens, native to each platform.

Windows: run Beamfall Core today via Docker Desktop (our tested walkthrough covers install to first scan) — a native Windows installer is on the roadmap.
Hosted Relay transparency
Remote access should not become a viewing log.
If Beamfall Hosted Relay graduates from the roadmap, it stays byte-blind and metadata-minimal: the relay authorizes a tunnel, not a history of what you watched.
No durable viewing fingerprint
The relay does not keep per-stream SNI, byte-volume, or duration history tied to an account. Abuse and capacity work use aggregates and short-lived operational logs.
Bounded retention
Any transient relay operational log has a published maximum retention window, measured in days rather than months, and is not joined to the account or entitlement ledger.
Legal-process posture
For historical viewing behavior, our answer is simple: we do not have it. We disclose only data that genuinely exists within the narrow operational window, where lawful.
On your screens
The library, the way the apps show it.
Concept artwork — fictional movies, shows, and albums. Real screenshots replace these once the clients ship.
