Add any M3U or M3U8 playlist URL, instantly browse hundreds of channels, and start watching โ€” with zero accounts, zero tracking, and nothing leaving your device. YOUR PLAYLISTS, YOUR RULES: IpTiVix does not provide, host, or link to any content.

BOOKMARKS: Tap the heart next to any channel to bookmark it. Toggle the bookmark filter in the channel list for a personal shortlist that stacks with search. INSTANT SEARCH: The playlist is pre-parsed on load so searching thousands of channels is instantaneous โ€” no lag, no waiting. OFFLINE-READY: After the first successful fetch, your channel list is cached locally. Browse and reselect channels even when offline. Streams themselves require a live connection. ACTIVITY LOGS: A built-in log screen shows every fetch attempt, success, and error with full timestamps โ€” invaluable for diagnosing playlist issues without contacting support.
