No server to set up, no Plex Pass subscription to pay, no transcoding overhead. LocalCast streams your media directly from phone or NAS to any TV. Free, fast, and simple.
Unlike Plex, you don’t need to set up a dedicated server on a PC or NAS. Your phone is the remote control — just pick files and cast directly.
LocalCast is free to download and completely ad-free. Browsing your files, IPTV playlists and the web is free; casting to your TV is part of LocalCast Pro. Start with a free trial, then pick a weekly or yearly plan — or buy Lifetime once.
Plex transcodes videos on the fly, eating CPU and degrading quality. LocalCast streams the original file directly — no quality loss, no server load.
Cast videos, music, and photos straight from your phone, cloud drives, or DLNA servers to Chromecast, Fire TV, Roku, Smart TVs, and more.
Get LocalCast free on Android or iOS. No account, no sign-up, no server to configure.
Choose from your phone, NAS, cloud storage, DLNA servers, or the built-in web browser.
Tap the cast icon and pick your TV. Direct streaming, no transcoding, no waiting. Just play.
