IpTiVix is a privacy-first M3U and IPTV player for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. Add any M3U or M3U8 playlist URL, instantly browse hundreds of channels, and start watching — with zero accounts, zero tracking, and nothing leaving your device. YOUR PLAYLISTS, YOUR RULES: IpTiVix does not provide, host, or link to any content. You bring your own playlist URL — from your IPTV provider, your IP camera system, your internet radio aggregator, or any HLS stream — and IpTiVix plays it beautifully. POWERFUL PLAYBACK: Full-screen HLS streaming with hardware-accelerated decoding Picture-in-Picture: keep watching while using other apps AirPlay: cast instantly to Apple TV or any AirPlay 2 device Real-time buffering indicator so you always know your stream status In-player error overlay with one-tap Retry MANAGE MULTIPLE SOURCES: Add as many playlist URLs as you need — there is no limit. Each source is fetched and cached independently. Channels from all sources are merged into one unified, searchable list, organised by group title. 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 — 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 — invaluable for diagnosing playlist issues without contacting support. PRIVACY BY DESIGN: - No account, no sign-up, no email — ever - No analytics SDK, no crash reporting service, no telemetry - Your M3U URLs are stored exclusively on your device in local storage - IpTiVix never sees, transmits, or stores your playlist links - No advertising identifier used BUILT FOR EVERY APPLE SCREEN: - iPhone — full-screen player with floating toolbar and bottom-sheet channel selector - iPad — split-view with a persistent channel sidebar for effortless switching - Apple Vision Pro — spatial window for an immersive viewing experience USE CASES: - Live IPTV from your provider - IP surveillance cameras (HLS/M3U stream) - Internet radio playlists - Corporate internal streams and digital signage - International TV channels from abroad

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: IpTiVix at Free against ClawTV's $4.99. IpTiVix also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). ClawTV's advantage is chart position (#187 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
