Coming soon to the App Store: a calm, ad-free way to watch your own IPTV playlists on Apple devices.
What it is
Prime Beam is an IPTV player for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. You bring your own M3U or Xtream playlists, and it turns them into something that feels at home on Apple devices, with a proper guide, Continue Watching and profiles for everyone in the house.
It's my own product, designed and built natively in SwiftUI, with a small API for optional sync.
