On Apple TV, Physarum becomes a lean-back ambient display you steer from the couch or mirror live from your phone. - Full authoring editor: tune agents, sensing, deposition, decay, colour, post-FX - Audio-reactive: the visuals pulse and bloom to sound - Capture: high-res stills, video clips, Live Photos - Apple TV ambient mode with phone control - Curated presets to start from; save your own
