You have Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Prime, Peacock, Paramount+, Apple TV+… and somehow nothing to watch. Couchgoer fixes that. Tell us your mood, see what your friends are watching, and get a recommendation in seconds — not after 45 minutes of scrolling through thumbnails. Couchgoer is the easiest way to discover what to watch across all your streaming services. Whether you're looking for something for date night, a lazy Sunday binge, or background noise while you cook — just pick a mood and go. No film degree required. See what your friends are watching and loving right now. Follow their activity, react to their picks, and build watchlists together. The best recommendations have always come from people you trust, not an algorithm guessing what you'd like based on the fact you watched The Office six years ago.

SarmaPlayer is a media player only. It does not provide, include, host, supply or sell any channels, movies or other content — you bring your own playlist. Connect the Xtream Codes or M3U playlist you already own and watch Live TV, Movies and TV Shows on iPhone and iPad, in a clean, modern interface built for the couch and the commute. FEATURES • Live TV with a built-in EPG (now & next, full guide) and instant channel zapping • Movies and TV Shows with posters, seasons, resume and "continue watching" • Favorites across channels, movies and shows • Multiple playlists — switch and refresh right on the device • Dual playback engine (AVPlayer + VLC) for wide format support, plus AirPlay and Picture in Picture • Parental controls with a PIN and adult-category hiding • English, German and Croatian BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT SarmaPlayer supplies no channels or media of any kind, and none is bundled. You are solely responsible for the playlists and sources you choose to connect and for holding the rights to the material you access through them. The app is a neutral player, like a web browser for your own streams.
