PickAChannel turns any IPTV source you already have into a fast, beautifully organized, native experience — on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. PickAChannel does not provide, sell, or promote any IPTV, streaming, or television service of any kind. All content sources are supplied entirely by you. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to access any stream, playlist, or content source you connect. CONNECT YOUR WAY Add a connection using any of three standard, open formats: • An M3U / M3U8 playlist URL • An Xtream Codes server (host, username, password) • An XMLTV (EPG) feed, for program-guide data on its own or layered onto either connection type above ONE LIBRARY, EVERY SCREEN Once connected, your channels, movies, and shows are organized into a single searchable, favoritable library — with a live program guide that highlights what's on right now. FEATURES • Live TV, Movies, and Shows, with search and category filters • Favorites, with drag-to-reorder on Apple TV • Live program guide (EPG) with on-air-now highlighting • Rich Movie and Show detail pages — poster, cast, rating, synopsis — when available • iCloud sync of your saved connections across every device — your credentials live only in your own private iCloud account, never on our servers • A native SwiftUI app built specifically for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro — not a stretched-out port Bring your own source.
