What's inside

Fast with big playlists

The parser handles playlists with tens of thousands of entries. On Apple TV, the Siri Remote changes channels.

Program guide

Add an XMLTV source to get a full timeline with now and next, step back or ahead an hour at a time, and pin the groups you watch.

Multi-View

Watch up to four streams side by side. Moving focus to a stream moves the sound with it.

Movies & series

Video on demand stays in your provider's own groups and hierarchy, the same structure your playlist uses.

Search, favorites, recents

Search across channels and groups, star the ones you like, and go back to whatever you were last watching.

Parental controls

Use a PIN to lock individual channels or whole groups.

Picture in Picture

Keep a channel playing in a corner of the screen while you browse.

Syncs over your iCloud

Playlists, favorites and settings follow you across your Apple devices through your own iCloud account. Nothing passes through our servers.

VLC under the hood

Built on the VLC engine, so it plays a very wide range of stream formats.

ClawTV is a player only. It doesn't include, sell or recommend any channels or streams. You'll need your own M3U playlist URL from a provider you're legally entitled to use, or from your own NAS or media server.
