## What is RexyView?

RexyView is a beautifully designed Plex client built natively for every Apple device you own. Browse and watch your library on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro — and monitor your server from your wrist with the Apple Watch companion.

BUILT FOR APPLE
Designed from the ground up for iOS 26 and the Liquid Glass interface. Sharp on iPhone, spacious on iPad, native in macOS, cinematic on Apple TV, and immersive on Apple Vision Pro.

BROWSE YOUR LIBRARY
Movies and TV shows from any Plex Media Server. Alpha-indexed grids for fast scrolling, full-text search, and Continue Watching and Recently Added on every home screen. Rich detail views include synopsis, cast, genres, and episode lists, with actor pages showing full filmographies. A dedicated ratings button surfaces scores from Plex, IMDb, and Rotten Tomatoes.

WATCH ANYTHING
Smooth playback with Direct Play, Direct Stream, and server-side transcoding. Multiple audio tracks and subtitles, scrubbing with preview, chapter navigation, and a sleep timer. A live info panel shows codec, resolution, bitrate, and buffering stats. Picture-in-Picture on iPhone and iPad. Progress syncs across all your devices.

OFFLINE PLAYBACK
Download movies and episodes to watch without a connection. Your progress queues locally and syncs back when your server reconnects.

SERVER DASHBOARD
For server owners — monitor your Plex server at a glance. See who's watching what, on which device, with full codec details. Live CPU and RAM graphs for host and Plex process. Bandwidth tracking by user and stream. Full user list with last-seen timestamps. Playback history across all users. Tap any active stream for detailed info, or stop it with a single swipe.

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
Four widget sizes from a quick stream count to a full dashboard, for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Widgets refresh automatically from your server. Tap any widget to jump into the Dashboard.

APPLE WATCH COMPANION
A companion for your wrist — not a video player. See active streams, server load, and user activity at a glance. A dedicated Resources screen shows live CPU and RAM graphs. Complications in Circular, Corner, Rectangular, and Inline styles put stream counts on your face. Tap a stream for details, or long-press to stop it.

APPLE TV INTEGRATION
Your recently-added content appears on the Apple TV home screen via Top Shelf. Browse and play without opening a tab.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose between a traditional poster grid or a cinematic hero landscape view. Pick from a range of accent colors, or stick with pure black or the system default. Blurred poster backgrounds on detail pages give every title its own atmosphere.

THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
Multi-profile support for Plex Home users. Actor headshots with TMDB fallback. Stylized title logos (optional). Offline scrobble queue.

PERFORMANCE
Engineered for a light memory footprint. Posters are downsampled server-side and client-side so your library stays snappy even with thousands of titles. Smart caching keeps things fast.

PRIVACY FIRST
RexyView talks only to your Plex server and optionally to TMDB for actor photos. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Your viewing activity never leaves your device or your server.

### 5/5 — Lets you customize

*2026-07-11*

I have gotten so tired of all the other apps defaulting to the landscape artwork and this app lets me get the old school posters back. I love that I can even change the apps background color. I can make my library actually mine now.
