RexyView brings your Plex, Jellyfin and Emby servers together in one beautiful app, built natively for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro, with an Apple Watch companion. It helps your family find something to watch, gives parents real control and follows you across every Apple device. ALL YOUR SERVERS, ONE LIBRARY Use Plex, Jellyfin and Emby side by side, with as many servers and Plex accounts as you like. Turn on Combine Libraries to see every server as one collection. A title on several servers appears once, with a badge for each, and Play From lets you pick which copy to watch. FIND SOMETHING TO WATCH • Browse by Theme: pick themes like Dinosaurs, Heists or Christmas and see every title that matches them all • Under 1 Hour: only what fits the time you have • Surprise Me: a random pick, from the app or by asking Siri • Holiday picks that change with the season • Smart Rows: your own Home rows, like “Best of the 90s” or “Unwatched in 4K” • Your Year: a shareable card of everything you watched this year PROFILES AND PARENTAL CONTROLS “Who’s Watching?” profiles work across every server at once, each with its own photo, optional PIN and maximum content rating, based on your server’s ratings. Set a bedtime, a daily viewing time or a number of episodes a day. When time runs out, a child can ask for more and a parent approves it right from their phone. Profiles and limits can be shared with your family’s devices through iCloud, and viewing time adds up across them, so switching devices doesn’t reset the clock. EVERY APPLE DEVICE, IN SYNC iCloud Sync carries your settings, Home layout and Smart Rows to your other devices. Sign-ins can be shared through iCloud Keychain, so a new device is ready in seconds. Handoff continues what you’re looking at on another device. Watched status can stay in step across your servers. MAKE HOME YOURS Reorder, hide and add Home rows per profile, choose your Discover tiles, pick a poster grid or a cinematic hero layout, accent colours and backgrounds. HomeKit scenes can dim the lights when you press play. WATCH AND DOWNLOAD Plays with Apple’s own video player, with Skip Intro and Credits, Up Next, chapters, audio and subtitle choices, Find Subtitles (when your server supports it), a sleep timer and Picture in Picture. When a file isn’t in a format your device plays, your server converts it. Download movies and episodes to watch offline on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. FOR SERVER OWNERS A full Dashboard shows who’s watching what, users and playback history, and lets you stop a stream. Home Screen widgets and the Apple Watch companion keep your server at a glance, and Apple TV shows your newest titles in Top Shelf. BUILT FOR APPLE Designed for the Liquid Glass look, with Siri and Shortcuts, Spotlight search, keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac, and swipe brightness and volume on iPhone and iPad. PRIVACY FIRST No analytics, no tracking and no ads. RexyView has no servers of its own. It connects to your media servers, to Plex’s and Emby’s online services when you use those accounts, to your own iCloud for syncing, to IMDb or YouTube when you open those pages, and to TMDB only if you add your own API key. Nothing reaches the developer unless you choose to send a bug report. ==== Requires your own Plex Media Server (with a Plex account), Jellyfin server or Emby server. RexyView doesn’t provide any content. RexyView is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Plex, Inc., the Jellyfin project, Emby LLC or The Movie Database (TMDB). Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are trademarks of their respective owners. Metadata and artwork come from your media server.

About

Presto! IPTV Player

Features
Read full description

Presto! is built for speed. Bring your own Xtream Codes account or M3U playlist and get to what you want to watch in seconds — on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, with one subscription across all of them. Big playlists are where an IPTV app is really tested: tens of thousands of entries to fetch, parse, sort and search. Presto! is engineered around exactly that. BUILT FOR SPEED • Opens straight into your catalogue. Your channels, movies and shows are stored on device and ready before any network request finishes — no waiting on a refresh to start watching. • Parallel refresh. On Xtream accounts Presto! fetches your categories, channels, movies and series at the same time, so a full refresh takes about as long as the slowest single request instead of the sum of all of them. • Instant browsing and search. The catalogue is indexed on device, so switching category, sorting and searching stay immediate as your playlist grows. • Nothing heavy on the main thread. Parsing, indexing, sorting and search all run in the background, so scrolling stays smooth — even while a refresh is running. • The programme guide is parsed once and kept ready, so opening the EPG for any channel is immediate rather than re-reading the whole guide. • Artwork is cached in memory and on disk, so rails and grids fill instantly when you come back to them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads, no analytics, no third-party trackers • Your accounts, catalogue and downloads stay on your device • Passwords are kept in the secure iOS Keychain • Presto! talks only to your provider, and automatically uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection whenever your provider supports one • An optional, off-by-default film-info lookup keeps browsing private Presto! ships with no channels or content of its own. You connect the service you already pay for (or any source you're entitled to use), and Presto! turns it into a fast, organised library. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Live TV with a full programme guide (EPG) — a scrollable grid across all your channels, with "on now" highlighting • Catch-up: jump back to a programme that has already aired, on providers that keep an archive • Movies and shows, organised by category, with seasons and episodes • Fast search across your entire catalogue • Favourites, bookmarks, Recent Channels and Continue Watching that remembers where you stopped • Offline downloads on iPhone & iPad to watch without a connection • Picture-quality badges (SD, HD, FHD, 4K), subtitle selection and 10-second skip controls • Sleep timer, aspect-ratio control and quick channel zapping • Background audio with lock screen and Control Center playback • Works with Xtream Codes and M3U / M3U8 playlists, plus XMLTV guides A PLAYER, NOT A PROVIDER Presto! does not provide, sell or include any TV channels, films or streams. Use only content you are legally entitled to access — your own provider subscription, free over-the-air streams, or other sources you have the rights to. PRESTO! PREMIUM Fast. Smooth. Presto! A subscription unlocks the full player across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, including offline downloads on iPhone and iPad, and starts with a 7-day free trial. Presto! Premium is an auto-renewable subscription. • Monthly and Annual options are available; prices are shown in the app and may vary by region. • New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. • Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
