iOS app

The native iOS client (iOS 17+) puts your recorder in your pocket — the same cameras, live and recorded, with the same graphite design as the web app.

The app is in preview and not yet on the App Store. This page is ready for when it lands — everything below also describes what the app does today.

Connect to your recorder#

Two ways in, same as everywhere else:

• On your network — enter the daemon address (http://192.168.x.x:8085) and sign in. If the daemon runs with auth off, the app skips the login step. The server and session are stored securely in the Keychain, so the app reconnects on relaunch.
• From anywhere — sign in with your Glide Vizion account and the app finds your recorder through remote access. No port-forwarding, no VPN app.

The camera wall#

The home view is a wall of every camera as live-refreshing snapshots — cheap on battery and data, no video decode until you want it. Each tile shows the full frame (wide and fisheye cameras are never cropped) with its name and a LIVE badge.

Tap to focus — real live video#

Tapping a tile opens that camera live, starting in well under a second. The app plays the daemon’s realtime stream and decodes HEVC in hardware (VideoToolbox), so even 4K H.265 cameras play smoothly on a recent iPhone — no transcoding, no relay.

Scrub recorded footage#

The same focused view slides into the past: drag the timeline beneath the playhead to scrub, pinch between a precise 5-minute scale and a 30-minute overview, or jump to an exact date and time. Preview thumbnails track your finger, and seeking commits the moment you let go.

When there’s no app for your browser#

On any iPhone browser, Safari falls back to native HLS automatically — live and playback both work without installing anything. The app is the better experience (faster start, hardware decode, scrubbing); HLS is the zero-install fallback.
