NaboTV brings everything you can watch into one place, no matter where it lives. Instead of opening app after app to work out what to watch and where it is playing, you get a single library built around you and the services you already pay for. WHERE TO WATCH, INSTANTLY Search any movie or show and see exactly where it is available. NaboTV tracks streaming availability across services, so you know at a glance whether something is included with a subscription you already have, available to rent or buy, or already sitting on your own server. One tap opens the right app at the right title. YOUR OWN MEDIA, BUILT IN Connect a Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin server and your personal library sits right alongside everything else. Your movies, shows, and episodes become searchable, resumable, and ready to play, with subtitles and audio handled for you. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Continue Watching follows you from room to room. Start an episode on the television, finish it on your phone, and your progress, your on-deck episodes, and your season tracking stay in sync. DISCOVER SOMETHING WORTH YOUR TIME Browse a deep catalog with real detail: cast and crew, ratings, reviews, and collections. Filter by genre, decade, rating, or what you can actually watch tonight, then save any search you like as a row on your home screen. Build watchlists and keep the good stuff organized. MADE FOR THE BIG SCREEN NaboTV is designed for television first and is at home on iPhone and iPad. Cast to the big screen, or use your phone as a remote for the room. WATCH TOGETHER Add friends, send recommendations, and talk about what to watch next. You stay in control, with the ability to block or report anyone at any time. BUILT FOR A WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Every profile can have its own maximum rating, blocked genres, daily time limit, and viewing window. The service enforces these settings, not the app on the television, so a bedtime cannot be lifted by changing the clock on the TV. Blocked titles become a request an adult can approve from their own device, and any profile can be locked with a PIN. New kids profiles start restricted rather than open. WHEN NOBODY IS WATCHING Let the screen go idle, and NaboTV drifts into an ambient mode with artwork, local weather, and trivia, so the television is worth looking at between shows. YOUR VIEWING IS YOURS NaboTV collects only what it needs to make the experience work, and location is entirely optional. GETTING IN NaboTV is in early access and requires an account. If you do not have one yet, join the waitlist at nabo.tv, and we will send you an invitation.
