Kapal

Kapal
A minimal, secure viewer for your Frigate NVR system.

Kapal is a lightweight and privacy-focused iOS and iPadOS app built specifically for users of the Frigate NVR (Network Video Recorder) system. Designed with simplicity, performance, and security in mind, Kapal lets you connect to your Frigate server and monitor your camera feeds with ease, without any unnecessary bloat.

Key Features:
• Live Camera Grid: View all your cameras in a clean, real-time grid layout.
• Minimal Mode: Hide borders, labels, and UI elements to maximize visibility. See more cameras at once with less scrolling.
• Full-Screen Playback: Tap any feed to enter fullscreen live view.
• Event Review: Browse and replay past detection events, as long as they are recorded in H.264 format.
• Privacy-First Design: Built natively with no third-party libraries or trackers. No analytics, no data collection.

Whether you’re reviewing a single feed or monitoring multiple zones, Kapal keeps the interface fast, clean, and efficient.

Disclaimer:
Kapal requires an existing Frigate NVR system to function. Event playback is only supported for recordings encoded in H.264. If your Frigate setup stores clips in another format (such as MPEG-4), you can download them through the app and open them in an external player such as VLC. This limitation is intentional to maintain a minimal and secure architecture without any third-party dependencies.
