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." NATIVE ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE - iPhone — one-handed playback, Picture-in-Picture, voice search, offline downloads - iPad — multi-column layout with Split View - Mac — a real macOS app with sidebar and menu bar - Apple TV — full-screen poster art, focus-engine navigation, Siri Remote voice search One purchase covers them all — Streamly Pro uses Apple's Universal Purchase, so subscribing on one device unlocks Pro everywhere. 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. Upgrade to Pro for: - Unlimited playlists, favorites, and refreshes - Auto-refresh on a schedule (1h, 6h, 12h, 24h) - Offline downloads for movies and episodes - PIN-lock playlists (parental control) - Live channel auto-play and auto-play-next - Multi-device live sync of playlists, favorites, and history (free: playlist backup only) PRICING - Streamly Pro Monthly — $4.99 - Streamly Pro Annual — $19.99 with a 7-day free trial - Streamly Pro Lifetime — $59.99 one-time, every Apple device under your Apple ID Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. 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.
