I got tired of overpriced IPTV apps and the very basic / outdated interface of apps like Smarters, so I ended up building my own IPTV player for Apple TV. Maybe some of you might like it too.

To be fair, there are probably apps out there with more features or a more polished design. But even though this started as a personal project, it has reached a pretty stable and solid point for everyday use.

It covers all the core IPTV player features you’d expect (continue watching, recently watched channels, category management, parental controls, EPG, etc.), while also trying to improve the overall Apple TV experience.

For example, once the app is open on Apple TV, you can use your iPhone to send a movie, series, or live channel directly to it. This way you don’t have to deal with typing or searching everything using the remote.

On the Live TV side, you can also create your own categories, add any channels you want, and organize them exactly the way you like, which makes navigating large playlists much easier.

The player is powered by KSPlayer and supports modern formats like HDR and Dolby Vision, so it works well with higher-quality streams too. There’s also iCloud sync between iPhone and Apple TV so your playlists and settings stay in sync, and the app supports Top Shelf on Apple TV so you can quickly access recently watched or recommended content directly from the home screen.

Another thing I focused on was not restricting users too much.  
There are no ads, no watermark, and no viewing limits. Pricing is also more affordable compared to many other apps, and it supports Family Sharing (except the lifetime option), so it can be shared with up to 6 people.

If you’re looking for a simple, stable IPTV player for Apple TV without a lot of restrictions, this might be a good option.

If anyone wants to try it or has suggestions, I’m always open to feedback.



I’ve seen similar posts here before, so I figured I’d share it. If this kind of post isn’t allowed, mods please let me know.
