Hi Product Hunt! I wanted an Apple TV-style box but already had a Mac, so I built one.
Mac TV gives your Mac a tvOS-style home screen for the TV:
• Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Apple TV, Spotify and more run in their official web players inside WebKit, so DRM and picture quality match Safari, up to 4K on Netflix.
• Your phone is the remote: scan a QR code, nothing to install. PlayStation, Xbox and Switch controllers work too.
• The Top Shelf rotates artwork from shows with new episodes, like a real Apple TV.
• A Movies app plays your own files, MKV included, through macOS's own decoders.
It's free and MIT licensed. It isn't notarized yet, so the first launch needs Open Anyway in System Settings.
I'd love to hear what you'd want it to do next.
