With a cloud subscription, your library configurations, custom covers, synopses, and playback progress are safely backed up to the cloud. Restore everything seamlessly with your passkey if you switch or lose a device. All data is end-to-end encrypted before transmission, ensuring no server admin or third party can ever see your content.
