About PlacePod
The lock screen is a clock elegant enough to double as decor. Behind it: serious file management, sharing, and transcription.
■ A beautiful clock
- Swipe through classic, minimal, Roman-numeral, neon, and photo-real faces
- Alarm and time signal — rings even when the app is closed, like a real alarm clock
- Per-second ticks and spoken time announcements
■ File management
- Organize and store files safely inside the app in My Files
- Move things freely to and from your photo gallery
- Copy or move whole folders; filter lists by photo, video, or audio
- Photos and recordings taken in the app go straight to My Files, never to your gallery
■ Transcription and subtitles (13 languages)
- Turn video or audio into a subtitle file (.srt) with one tap
- Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese
- Translate subtitles into another language (the original is kept)
- Everything runs on your device — audio and text are never sent anywhere
- Media with an .srt next to it plays with subtitles automatically
■ Network connections
- Connect directly to Samba (Windows/Mac/NAS), NFS, and SFTP servers
- Stream videos without downloading
- Plays mp4 and far beyond: mkv, webm, wmv, TS, AV1, and more
■ Sharing
- Share encrypted files with just the people you choose in Cloud Files (auto-deleted after 7 days)
- Chat and exchange files with your circle
- Hand files to and from other apps — PlacePod appears in the share menu
■ Privacy and security
- No account needed — no email address, no phone number
- Lock with a PIN, biometrics, or a trusted location
- Intrusion alert silently photographs failed unlock attempts with both cameras
- Cloud storage is encrypted with AES-256
Some features require the paid version (monthly, yearly, or one-time purchase).
What’s new
Version 1.0.11 · Updated October 23, 2026
Text and Markdown files can now be read aloud. Tap the lips icon at the top right to start; the sentence being read is highlighted. Tap anywhere in the text to read from there, and pausing keeps your place. For Markdown, only the text is read, not the symbols. Markdown files (.md) now open neatly formatted, with headings and lists laid out. Tap the icon at the top right to switch to the original text.
