Plex, Jellyfin & IPTV player – native on all Apple platforms

Spectati brings your Plex and Jellyfin servers and IPTV playlists together in one fast, native app — with a real channel guide, smart deduplication, iCloud sync and playback that does your TV justice. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos pass through natively, HDR10 and HDR10+ are fully supported, and virtually every codec just plays — so everything looks and sounds exactly as intended.
Spectati started from a simple frustration: watching personal media and live TV on Apple devices still felt far more fragmented than it should.
Plex and Jellyfin are good at managing libraries, while IPTV apps focus on live channels, but switching between separate apps creates an inconsistent experience. Many existing players also feel dated, struggle with unstable streams, or do not take full advantage of Apple platforms and modern formats such as Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Atmos.
I wanted one polished, native app that could bring movies, shows and live TV together across Apple TV, Mac, iPhone and iPad. It needed to feel at home on each platform, keep progress and settings synchronized through iCloud, support offline viewing, and provide a reliable playback experience without forcing users into a new media ecosystem.
The project initially focused mainly on live TV, but it gradually evolved into a broader media hub. As I worked on playback stability, source compatibility and library organization, it became clear that the real problem was not just playing a stream—it was creating a coherent experience around all of a user’s existing media sources.
I'm really proud of what I've built, and I hope you will share some of my excitement for it!
