What "Local-First" Means for Your Streaming Library
MigFLIX keeps your library on your device instead of a cloud account. Here's what that actually changes.
A lot of apps quietly assume your data belongs on their servers. MigFLIX takes the opposite default: your library, favorites, and watch history live on your device, not a cloud account you're required to create.
What lives on your device
The sources you've connected, the libraries built from them, your favorites, and your watch history all stay local. Browsing and playback don't depend on a server round-trip to MigFLIX just to show you your own library.
What that means in practice
- No account required to start using MigFLIX.
- Your viewing activity in one source doesn't get mixed with another, since nothing is being merged in a shared cloud database.
- Provider credentials you enter are stored securely on your device.
Local-first isn't a claim of total isolation
Local-first describes where your core library and viewing state live by default — it's not an absolute promise that MigFLIX never talks to a server for anything. See the Privacy Policy for the precise, current detail on what's collected and why.
