Streamly is a clean, fast player for the IPTV playlists you already have — native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Paste your M3U URL or Xtream Codes credentials and Streamly turns the raw playlist into a real interface: channel grid, movie and series posters, live preview, search, favorites, and Picture-in-Picture. You bring the IPTV. Streamly brings the player. HYBRID PLAYBACK ENGINE Streamly pairs Apple's native AVPlayer with a built-in VLC engine. AVPlayer handles standard streams (HLS, MP4, MKV); VLC takes over for exotic codecs and malformed playlists, with automatic fallback — so you stop seeing "format not supported."

FEATURES - M3U and Xtream Codes playlists - Live channel grid with EPG (when your provider supplies one) - Movies and series with posters, plot, year, and genre — optionally enriched from the open TMDB catalog - Continue Watching and personalized rails across your signed-in devices - Voice search via on-device speech recognition - Picture-in-Picture and background audio - AirPlay, Google Cast, and DLNA - Light, Dark, and Auto themes - Works fully anonymously; Sign in with Apple or Google is optional STREAMLY PRO Free includes 1 custom playlist plus 1 Quick Add list, 5 favorites, and 1 manual refresh per day.

PRIVACY No ads, no third-party trackers, no data sold. Your provider credentials stay in the device Keychain, encrypted by the OS. Streamly uses Firebase for crash reporting and anonymous analytics, and RevenueCat for subscriptions — both documented in the Privacy Policy. ABOUT IPTV Streamly is a player — comparable to VLC or a web browser. It does not host, distribute, sell, or recommend any video content. Every stream you load is one you supply, from a source you have a legal right to access. If you don't have a provider, the Quick Add rail offers a few free public-broadcast playlists (NASA TV, France 24, DW News, Al Jazeera English, and more) from the open iptv-org catalog.
