Frequently Asked Questions
What is SFTP?
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure way to transfer files over a network. If you have a server or NAS that supports SFTP, Nightbeam can connect to it and stream your media.
What video formats are supported?
Nightbeam supports common video formats including MP4, MKV, AVI, and MOV. Playback compatibility depends on the codecs used in your files and your device's capabilities.
How do I organise my media?
Long-press on any folder to mark it as "Movies" or "TV Shows". Nightbeam will remember your choices and display your content accordingly.
Are my credentials secure?
Yes. Your server credentials are stored securely on your device using the system keychain. They are never transmitted to any servers or third parties.
Can I use Nightbeam offline?
Nightbeam requires a network connection to access your SFTP server. However, any content you've downloaded for offline viewing will be available without a connection.
Does Nightbeam work with all SFTP servers?
Nightbeam is compatible with standard SFTP servers. This includes most Linux servers, NAS devices (Synology, QNAP, etc.), and cloud servers with SFTP enabled.
Overview
Nightbeam is designed with your privacy in mind. Your data belongs to you, and the app is built to reflect that principle.
Data Collection
Nightbeam does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. The app operates entirely on your device.
- Your SFTP server credentials are stored securely on your device only
- Your media organisation preferences remain on your device
- No analytics or tracking data is collected
- No data is shared with third parties
Server Connections
When you connect to an SFTP server, Nightbeam communicates directly with your server. Connections are not routed, proxied, or monitored in any way. Your credentials and all data transferred remain between you and your server.
Local Storage
Nightbeam stores the following data locally on your device:
- Server connection details (encrypted)
- Your folder organisation settings
- App preferences and settings
This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export or back it up through your device's standard backup mechanisms.
Third-Party Services
Nightbeam does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
