Features & Benefits

Zero setup
Automatically generates a guide in seconds

Coax uses the metadata you've already got on your home media server to build channels. Use Collections to make your own channels if you want to, but it's totally optional.

Fast & Furious
Quicker and slicker than the rest

Connect directly to your media server and start streaming right away. On a local connection, channel-change time is usually under 1 second.

Unite the Libraries
Create a single guide

Combine your TV and Movie libraries into a single unified channel set. Pick and choose your libraries to create your own custom cable guide.

Only buy it once
One purchase, every platform

Coax runs on your AppleTV, iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Vision Pro, all for one price. Family Sharing is enabled, so your iCloud family can enjoy it too.
