Labstream docs

Labstream is a native Apple-platform media client for Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. Its coordinated pre-release App Store set includes Apple Vision Pro, one universal iPhone/iPad target, a streaming-only Apple TV target, and a native Mac target. Labstream is distributed publicly as source. A retired personal-identity visionOS build exists in invitation-only internal TestFlight, and the neutral four-platform App Store record now has processed 1.6.1 (build 1) builds in invitation-only internal TestFlight. Initial product metadata and privacy-safe screenshots are staged, but review access, hardware acceptance, storefront scope, and App Review remain open. There is no public App Store release. Labstream is designed around privacy: the app has no developer-operated backend, talks to the media services/server you choose, and does not automatically send diagnostics or analytics to the developer.

What the site is for

These pages describe the current source tree: how to build it, how to report problems safely, and how the major subsystems fit together. Repository-internal material stays outside the published navigation in explicit lanes: active plans under docs/plans/, unresolved investigations under docs/research/, immutable observations under docs/evidence/, and completed or superseded context under docs/archive/. The repository-root manual checklist remains a deliberate operational exception.
