Essential for Me
The server app has now been updated to work with tvOS 26 and works great again. I’ve updated my rating to reflect those changes.
Airflow & Remote where great…
…while it lasted. I switched from Plex to using Airflow app and it’s remote almost exclusively. This became my preferred combo for Airplay’ing video from my Macs to AppleTVs. The server app was the perfect mix of simplicity and essential features. It was the antithesis of Plex’s bloat and really never had a hiccup. If it did, it was fixed. I was happy to purchase and support the dev.
Now, for the bad news. Like many smaller independent developers it all now seems too good to have been true and the apps now look like abandonware. Even worse, it may be a classic case of bait and switch. To add insult to injury the main app is still being sold even though it clearly does not function at all after the latest Tahoe and OS 26 updates. Support via email has been unresponsive across the board with many users taking to the net (Reddit, etc) to complain. Had the dev simply stopped making the apps, I’d have just been disappointed but being that it’s still actively available for purchase…this needs to be mentioned on the website. Not all Airflow users will be affected but a brunt of them will. This is your warning.
I’ll happily remove or edit this review and/or change my rating back to a 5/5 if proven wrong. I’d love to be wrong in this case!

When it Works it’s Great
Unfortunately I have had significant issues getting the remote app to reliably recognize my device. It’s a shame because I truly adore the UI and find Airflow my preferred streaming service for locally stored files, but I’ve had enough issues that I’m now considering alternatives unfortunately
Solid. Need a few features.
I purchased this as a replacement to Air Video HD, which is abandonware (possibly from the same developer). I would love to be able to use this app to watch on my iOS devices (like the aforementioned app) but that’s not possible. The only other annoyance is the scrub bar — it feels backwards and would be nice to able to change scroll direction (like you can with an Apple Mouse). If feels unnatural.
