TubeTime+

Read full description

TubeTime+ turns your personal Plex library into a real linear TV experience — channels that play themselves, 24 hours a day, with nothing to pick. No more scrolling through grids of movies and shows looking for something to watch. Turn on TubeTime+ and something relevant is already on, just like the old cable TV days — except it's built entirely from your own collection. KEY FEATURES • Smart channels: build channels from any Plex library, collection, or playlist, with continuous, deterministic programming — what's "on now" is always the same across every device. • Automatic lineup generation: generate dozens of themed channels at once, by genre, decade, director, studio, or actor, straight from your library. • Channel zapping: switch channels instantly with a swipe, the Siri Remote (Apple TV), or your keyboard (Mac), just like a real TV. • Full EPG grid: see every channel's schedule side by side, tap to tune in. • Per-channel identity: a distinct accent color and icon for every channel. • Direct Play first: TubeTime+ always prefers playing the original file straight from your Plex server, minimizing transcoding and maximizing quality. • Optional retro effects: color bars, tuning static, and a CRT effect for the full nostalgia trip. • Truly native and multiplatform: iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro — designed Apple TV-first, for the living room experience. • Apple Watch remote: control what's playing straight from your wrist — channel up, channel down and pause, with the current channel and programme on screen. PRIVACY FIRST TubeTime+ doesn't track you. No analytics, no ads. Authentication happens directly with Plex (official PIN login), and your token is protected in your device's Keychain. Your data stays yours. REQUIREMENTS You need your own or a shared Plex Media Server, with an active Plex account. TubeTime+ doesn't host or provide any content — it organizes and plays media from your own Plex library. PREMIUM TubeTime+ is free to try, with 1 hour of watch time. Premium unlocks unlimited watch time and is available as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings.
