Your library is yours.
Last updated September 4, 2026
No 4789 account
You do not create an account with 4789 to use the app. The public iPhone build stores its library, watch history, settings, and connected-service list on the device.
Settings export
You can deliberately export a portable settings file through the system share sheet and save it in Files, iCloud Drive, or another location you control. Importing that file updates settings on another installation. The public build does not automatically upload an owner backup to a 4789 service.
Credentials
Credentials entered in the Apple app are stored in the system Keychain. A compatible manifest or install URL can itself contain private access information, so treat exported settings files as sensitive. 4789 does not write full credentials to diagnostic logs.
Requests to connected services
When you browse, search, play, download, or refresh metadata, the app makes requests from your device to the services and public metadata providers involved in that action. Those operators receive the normal technical information required to answer a network request and apply their own privacy policies. 4789 does not claim that connected-service traffic stays entirely on the device.
Local receiver traffic
Receiver discovery and control use the local network. A television or Mac receiver can receive title, artwork, playback state, and stream information needed for the action you started. Some local or protected media is relayed from the phone so the receiver can play it without receiving the original credential.
Optional features
Some features can connect to additional services for ratings, lists, metadata, or assisted ranking. They remain inactive until their required configuration is provided. When enabled, relevant requests go to the selected service under its terms.
