Most "DLNA clients" for Android are either paid, bloated, or locked to one hardware brand. LocalCast is a clean, free UPnP/DLNA browser that finds every media server on your network and plays content directly on your phone — or forwards it to any TV, speaker or receiver.
LocalCast discovers DLNA / UPnP servers automatically: Plex, Kodi, Jellyfin, Windows Media Player, Synology, QNAP, ASUSTOR, TerraMaster — anything that speaks the UPnP AV standard.
Free on Google Play. No account or sign-up — the app runs entirely on your local Wi-Fi.
Open the UPnP / DLNA source in LocalCast. Every UPnP server on the network appears by name — your NAS, Plex, Kodi, Windows PC, and so on.
Navigate the server's library, tap any item, and either watch locally or forward to a TV. LocalCast handles transcoding if your hardware needs it.
Yes. DLNA browsing and playback is free and always has been. There is an optional premium tier that removes ads from other parts of the app, but you never need to pay to use the UPnP client.
Join 50 million users streaming from NAS, Plex and Kodi with LocalCast.
