How Mockbox works
Start with your media, not a public feed.
Select
Choose what enters
Use selected photos and videos from your device. Limited Photo Library access is supported and Mockbox does not change the originals.
Open
Pick the view you want
The same library can become a video shelf, vertical player, photo journal, cinema catalog, private room, or topic-led feed.
Return
Keep your place locally
History, saved items, drafts, reactions, and messages stay with the installation so each experience can remember where you left it.
The lobby
One library.
Ten distinct views.
Each experience changes navigation, discovery, and local state—not the ownership of your media. Compare the purpose and built-in tools of all ten before choosing a view.

Privacy model
Your media stays where you put it.

- Only the photos and videos you select are used. Limited Photo Library access is supported.
- Private Stash
- Optional. Connect to a Stash library you control over your local network; device-only use remains available.
- Local activity
- Reactions, follows, drafts, messages, saved items, and viewing history remain local to the installation.
- App lock
- Optional passcode and biometric protection can cover the app when it becomes inactive.

Mockbox FAQ
Clear answers about media access, privacy, supported devices, Stash, and Mockbox Pro.
- What is Mockbox?
- Mockbox is a private photo and video library app for iPhone and iPad. It gives the media you choose ten playful ways to browse, watch, organize, and revisit it without turning your library into a public social account.
- Does Mockbox upload my photo or video library?
- No. Photo Library media, private Stash credentials, reactions, drafts, messages, and viewing history remain on your device. Mockbox does not upload your personal library to COLDTER. Update delivery may provide non-identifying crash diagnostics for app functionality.
- Where does the media in Mockbox come from?
- You can use photos and videos selected from your device and, optionally, connect a Stash library that you control on your local network. On-device use remains available without a desktop connection or Stash server.

- No. The experiences use original fictitious names, icons, and layouts. They do not connect to, publish to, or claim affiliation with third-party social media or streaming services.
- Do I need an account to use Mockbox?
- No social account is required. The app is designed around media you already control, and the interactions you create inside each experience stay local to your installation.
