Introducing CoreView
Your Cameras, Your Network, Your Control
CoreView is a professional-grade camera streaming and recording platform built natively for every Apple device. Monitor, record, and manage all your cameras from a single app — no cloud accounts, no data leaving your network unless you choose otherwise. CoreView is designed from the ground up to work fully offline.
Coming May, 2026.
Why CoreView
Most camera apps force you into a single vendor's ecosystem or route your video through remote servers you don't control. CoreView takes a different approach: it connects directly to cameras on your local network and keeps everything under your control. You decide where footage is stored, who can access it, and whether anything ever touches the internet.
- No cloud dependency. CoreView works entirely on your local network. There's no service that can go offline and take your cameras with it.
- No vendor lock-in. Connect to virtually any IP camera — ONVIF, RTSP, UniFi Protect, or any device that speaks standard protocols. Mix and match brands freely.
- One app, every Apple device. iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro are all first-class. The same cameras, the same layouts, the same recordings — everywhere.
What You Can Do
Discover and Connect Cameras Instantly
CoreView automatically finds cameras on your network using three discovery methods — ONVIF broadcast, RTSP port scanning, and Bonjour/mDNS — and presents them in a unified search interface. Add a camera in seconds. You can also stream from your device's built-in cameras or capture your Mac's screen.
Supported camera sources:
- ONVIF-compatible IP cameras (the broadest industry standard)
- Any RTSP (H.264, H.265), or HLS stream via URL
- UniFi Protect cameras with full authentication support
Monitor Everything at a Glance
The multi-camera grid view gives you a live dashboard of all your cameras at once. It's fully customizable:
- Choose between 1 and 10 columns
- Scale individual cameras to 2x2, 3x3, or larger to emphasize what matters most
- Drag and drop to reorder your layout
- Go fullscreen on any camera with a tap
- On Apple TV, navigate the entire grid with your Siri Remote
CoreView is smart about resources — it only streams cameras that are currently visible on screen, so scrolling past a camera pauses its stream automatically.
Privacy and Security First
CoreView is built around the principle that your camera footage is sensitive data and should be treated accordingly.
- Offline by default. The app never phones home, never requires an internet connection, and never sends video anywhere you haven't explicitly configured.
- Credentials stay local. Camera passwords, OAuth tokens, and API keys are stored exclusively on your device.
- No tracking. CoreView includes crash reporting (Sentry) to help us fix bugs, but there is no analytics, no usage tracking, and no ad infrastructure.
Runs on Everything You Own
CoreView is a single universal app that runs natively on:
| Platform | Highlights |
|---|---|
| iPhone | Full camera monitoring and recording on the go |
| iPad | Split View and Slide Over multitasking, pointer and trackpad support |
| Mac | Native window management, keyboard shortcuts, screen capture, menu bar integration |
| Apple TV | Full Siri Remote navigation, focus-driven interface, ideal for a dedicated monitoring display |
| Vision Pro | Spatial interface with platform-appropriate window sizing |
Every feature works on every platform unless the hardware makes it impossible.
How It Stores Your Data
CoreView keeps things simple. There's no database engine, no sync service, and no hidden complexity: camera configurations, groups and preferences are saved locally on your device.

Add your first camera in under a minute:
- Open CoreView on any device.
