Your films are the light. We just get out of the way.
Why Lampra
People who run their own media server have spent years building a library: the right versions, the right subtitles, the audio tracks that matter to them. Then they press play on a client that spins, crashes on the TV, ignores the Mac, or gets their account flagged on a shared server.
Lampra is a player for that library. Each screen gets an app designed for it: hover and right-click on the Mac, a single clear focus on the TV, gestures on the phone. It opens on what you were watching, plays the file as it is, and stays out of your server’s way.
The name comes from the Greek lampros, bright, and from the lamp in a projector. The mark is a square with a corner cut away; the cut is the light. The brightest part of the logo isn’t drawn. It’s left open, the way the app leaves the screen to your films.
What Lampra is, and isn’t
| Lampra is | Lampra isn’t |
|---|---|
| A player for servers you run or can use | A source of films, a streaming site or a way to get free content |
| Designed separately for each kind of screen | One web page wrapped up for every platform |
| Easy on servers: no crawling, budgeted requests, an honest name | A client that’s fast because it leans on your server |
| A paid product with prices and scope written down first | Free to start, then locked down after you’re hooked |
Lines we don’t cross
- We never offer, link to or hint at films or shows. Lampra plays your server; that’s all.
- Emby and Jellyfin appear only in descriptions, never in our name, icon or domain.
- Every image we publish is our own or openly licensed. No studio artwork.
- No disguised User-Agent, no content filtering, no data collected that a feature doesn’t need.
- Nothing that is free today will be locked later.
