Frequently Asked Questions

What is ENVO-App?

ENVO-App is the companion app for your ENVO-Home self-hosted server. It lets you control and access all your home services — media (Jellyfin), photos (Immich), files (Nextcloud), smart home (Home Assistant), security cameras (Frigate), and more — all from one unified interface.

How do I connect to my server?

During initial setup, scan the QR code displayed on your ENVO-Home server's admin panel. This automatically configures your connection details. You can also enter the server address manually if preferred.

Can I access my server remotely?

Yes. ENVO-App includes a built-in WireGuard VPN that creates an encrypted tunnel directly to your home server. This means you can securely access all your services from anywhere — no port forwarding, no third-party relay servers, no cloud middlemen.

Does ENVO-App collect any data?

ENVO Studios does not run a home-data cloud, track your activity, or sell your data. ENVO-App communicates with your own server, services configured by your home administrator, and limited operating-system services needed for enabled features such as push notifications. Read our full privacy policy for details.

What services does it support?
  • Jellyfin — Movies, TV shows, music streaming with Direct Play
  • Immich — Photo and video backup and management
  • Nextcloud — File storage, calendar, contacts
  • Home Assistant — Smart home device control and automation
  • Frigate — Security camera NVR with AI detection
  • Vaultwarden — Password management
  • WireGuard VPN — Secure remote access
Which platforms are supported?

ENVO-App is available for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android phones and tablets, and Android TV. Phone and tablet apps provide the full experience, including optional biometric lock and EnvoTunnel remote access. The TV experience is built for a remote and large screen, with Home, Cinema, Photos, and Cameras. TV does not include VPN controls.

How do I sign in on a TV?

Choose a household profile on the TV, then approve the request from a phone or tablet already signed in to that account. You can enter the account password on the TV instead if you prefer.

How does multi-account work?

ENVO-App supports multiple user accounts on the same server. Each family member can have their own profile with separate credentials, preferences, and service access. Switching between accounts is instant with biometric authentication.

I'm having trouble connecting. What should I check?
  • Ensure your device is on the same Wi-Fi network as your ENVO-Home server
  • Check that your server is powered on and running
  • If using VPN remotely, verify your WireGuard tunnel is active
  • Try restarting the app and re-entering your server address
  • Contact us at support@envostudios.com if the issue persists
