A native iOS — iPhone, iPad & Mac app for reviewing productions tracked in Kitsu — with real-time comments and metrics, video playback, offline access, video burn-in for Playlists and media exports. Real-time iOS push notifications are available via the free open-source Push Notification Bridge you install on your instance.
Kitsu Mobile Review connects directly to CG Wire's hosted Kitsu instance or your studio's self-hosted instance. No cloud relay, no data leaving your infrastructure.
Play back the latest revision of any task directly in the app. Switch between HD and low-def streams. Navigate revisions with a version picker.
Post comments, change task status, attach files, or upload a new preview revision — all from a single review screen. Replies and threading supported.
All browsed data is cached and persists across app restarts. Comments and status changes written while offline are queued and replayed on reconnect.
Kitsu's Event Stream keeps comment feeds and task statuses live. Native iOS push notifications are delivered via the free open-source Push Notification Bridge — a lightweight service you install alongside your Kitsu instance.
Navigate from projects → episodes → sequences → shots → tasks. Assets, Edits, Concepts, and Playlists all supported with dedicated review screens.
On iPad, a persistent left panel keeps your project list in view while you drill into shots and tasks on the right — no constant back-navigation.
Export playlist videos with burned-in shot names, frame numbers, and metadata. Share directly from the app for client or director review.
Tokens stored in the iOS Secure Enclave. Face ID / Touch ID biometric unlock. Your Kitsu server is the only destination for your data.
Download thumbnails, images, and latest revisions for offline review. Selective flush controls let you manage storage per media type.
Native iOS push notifications for new comments, task status changes, and to-check assignments require the Kitsu Mobile Review Push Notification Bridge — a lightweight open-source service you self-host alongside your Kitsu instance. It connects Kitsu's event stream to APNs (Apple Push Notification service) and requires no changes to Kitsu itself.
