TV Launcher supports many of the most popular streaming platforms in the UK, US, Ireland and Australia.
You don’t even have to open TV Launcher to get to the channel you want to watch. With the supported Top Shelf extension, you can launch any of the supported channels and even choose to show the current channel listing instead of just the logo.
Widgets are available for Watch Now, Now & Next, TV Guide and Channels Widgets, so you'll be able to see whatʼs on and select channels without even opening the app! Support for Siri Shortcuts means you can watch channels, fetch listings and perform other actions using just your voice on this device or a connected HomePod! There is also a Shortcut that will allow you to open the channel on your linked Apple TV too!
View what's on for every channel in one place with full artwork for each channel and the ability to jump into the program to find out more.
Check out listings up to a week in the future so you can decide what to watch!
Add programmes to your Up Next queue and get notified when they're about to start.
See what's currently on and what will be on straight afterwards.
If you have a select few channels you always like to watch, add them to your favourites list.
Not interested in the news or don’t have kids? Choose the channels you want to hide and only keep around the ones you’re likely to watch. If you don’t have a streaming app installed, you can hide channels from those too.
TV Launcher has been built using SwiftUI, UIKit, App Intents, Core Data, Core Data + CloudKit, TipKit, UserNotifications and WidgetKit.
