Viewy
A native media player for Apple devices. Bring your own playlist — Viewy handles the decoding, the buffering and the remote.
A player, not a portal
Viewy ships with no channels and no catalogue. You point it at a playlist you already have, and your device connects to that provider directly.
Our own video engine
Built on FFmpeg rather than a third-party playback SDK. Wider codec coverage, faster channel switching, and fixes that don't wait on somebody else's roadmap.
Made for the remote
The tvOS app is native, not a stretched phone layout. Siri Remote gestures, and a guide that stays readable from ten feet away.
Add your playlist once and it's there on every device. Watch in picture-in-picture, keep audio going with the screen off, or hand the stream to any AirPlay receiver on your network.
- Picture-in-picture and background audio
- AirPlay to any receiver on your network
- Favourites and recents, kept the way you left them
- Split View on iPad — guide beside the stream
Written for the living room rather than ported to it. The focus engine is Apple's own, so the Siri Remote behaves the way it does everywhere else on the device.
- Native tvOS focus engine and Siri Remote gestures
- Instant channel switching — no reload between zaps
- Ten-foot guide with oversized type and artwork
- Set up from your iPhone — no typing URLs with a remote
