Spectati puts a QR code and a four-digit code on the television. Scan it with your phone, paste the server details there, and they go to the Apple TV over your own network. About a minute, start to finish.

- Paste your Xtream Codes or M3U details on your phone
- A setup code confirms it’s really your TV, on your network
- Works for Xtream Codes, M3U playlists, Plex and Jellyfin servers
A real EPG. On a real screen.
The full program guide lives on the big screen where it belongs. Browse what's on now and next across every channel, see live progress on each row, and jump straight into whatever's playing.
- A full-screen grid, sized for a sofa
- Now & next with live progress on every channel
- Guide data refreshes automatically in the background
- Jump straight from the guide into a live channel
- Catch-up: play a programme that already aired, with a subscription
Catch-up and on-demand need a subscription and a provider that offers them
Your thumb already knows the way.
No cursor pretending to be a finger and no phone buttons blown up to TV size. Glide on the touchpad to scrub with momentum, swipe down for the info panel, click to pause. It behaves like Apple’s own apps because it uses the same focus engine they do.
- Touchpad scrubbing with natural throw momentum
- Swipe down for channel info, tracks and settings
- The tvOS focus engine, so nothing feels ported
- Play/pause, skip and menu do exactly what you expect
Watching starts before the app opens.
Put Spectati in the top row of the Apple TV home screen and Top Shelf shows the episode you are halfway through, your favorite channels with what is on now, and what arrived this week. Select one and the app opens straight into playback.
- Continue Watching, Favorite Channels, Recently Added and Recommended rows
- Deep links: selecting an item starts playing it directly
- Favorite channels show their current program
- Updates automatically as you watch
Your Apple TV profile, your Spectati.
Apple TV already knows who picked up the remote, so Spectati doesn’t ask again. The app runs as the current Apple TV user, and when the household switches, from Control Center, or at the who’s-watching prompt tvOS 26 shows when the TV wakes, Spectati switches with it.
- Watch history, Continue Watching and favorites are personal to each Apple TV user
- Works hand-in-hand with tvOS 26 profile switching on wake
- Settings, curation and access rules stay with the person who set them
- Each user connects their own providers, or shares them through a shared iCloud account
Switched in tvOS, not inside Spectati, there are no in-app profiles to manage.
