Neverlag is the IPTV player for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV that doesn’t reload when your stream hiccups. Live TV, TV guide (EPG) and catch-up with your own provider – via Xtream Codes or an M3U playlist. If your provider drops out for a moment, Neverlag keeps playing from its reserve. If a channel delivers no picture, Neverlag switches the source instead of freezing. PLAYS ON WHILE OTHERS RELOAD Neverlag builds a reserve of the programme you’re watching – up to 45 seconds by default, adjustable up to 90 seconds. When your provider stalls, playback continues from that reserve while Neverlag reconnects in the background and picks up where the picture left off. The quality panel shows reserve, delay behind live, bitrate and picture. SWITCHES THE SOURCE INSTEAD OF FREEZING If the picture freezes or a channel fails at the provider, Neverlag takes another source of the same channel or the same channel from another of your lists. One line tells you what happened, one button takes you back. If 4K keeps stalling, Neverlag drops to Full HD and tells you. YOUR IPHONE AS THE REMOTE With Neverlag on iPhone or iPad you control Neverlag on Apple TV: a D-pad like the Siri Remote or a touch area, your channels as tiles, pause/live and 30 seconds back. From iOS 18 also from Control Center, without opening the app. Several Apple TVs at home: pair, name, switch. PROFILES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Every profile has its own favorites and history. The admin profile protects settings with a PIN; the kids profile shows only approved groups. TV GUIDE, ARCHIVE AND CATCH-UP A TV guide grid from your provider’s EPG data (XMLTV). Missed shows in the archive, by show or by channel, when your provider offers catch-up. Neverlag tags programmes like football, news or kids automatically. Pause, rewind and record live TV – stored locally on Mac, iPhone and iPad, on your network storage on Apple TV. BIG LISTS UNDER CONTROL Groups, favorites, search and a jump bar that gets you to the right letter even with more than 10,000 channels. Movies and series with resume, when your provider includes them. 4K playback; on Mac, Neverlag matches the display’s refresh rate to the programme in full screen. NEW DESIGN A calm, dark interface on every device. Settings in clear sections, with search and an explanation for every option. SET UP APPLE TV WITHOUT TYPING No server addresses typed with the remote: Apple TV shows a code, your iPhone or Mac sends the login over your home network. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. Neverlag has no server of its own: your login stays in your device’s keychain, measurements stay on the device. TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION Free download and a free 7-day trial. After that, keep watching with a subscription, monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with Family Sharing. Setup, channel list and TV guide stay free without a subscription. Support: https://neverlag.app/support Neverlag is a player. You need your own M3U playlist or credentials from an IPTV provider. Neverlag does not contain, deliver or broker any content.
