A self-hosted media server built as a dependable product.
Finetic is developed and operated by Young Studio. Public communication uses the Finetic and Young Studio identities so the product can be accountable without publishing the private identity or household infrastructure of an individual maintainer.

Designed as a system, experienced as a product.
The technical depth remains available without turning the normal viewing experience into a server dashboard.
Why Finetic exists
Self-hosted media software should combine a calm household experience with enough operational evidence to diagnose playback, storage, metadata and recovery. Finetic is being built around that connection instead of treating the viewer and administrator as unrelated products.
How public claims are produced
Product screenshots come from working demonstration or physical-device environments and are reviewed for credentials and private infrastructure. Compatibility and performance claims include the tested version, environment, date and limitation. Planned and supervised-testing features are labelled separately from public releases.
How automation is used
Automation assists implementation, testing, documentation maintenance and evidence collection. Product claims remain tied to source-controlled behaviour, repeatable checks or explicitly labelled documentation. Automated output is not treated as independent verification.
Commercial status
The server is available as a compiled public pre-release evaluation through Docker Compose. The web client ships with the server. Fire TV and Android remain in supervised device testing. Final paid pricing, support terms and native app-store availability have not been published.
Contact and security reports
General, documentation and responsible security enquiries can be sent to hello@youngstudio.uk. Never include passwords, access tokens, licence keys, private media URLs or unredacted diagnostic bundles in an initial message.
