Two Jellyfin servers and a playlist means three libraries, three search fields and three places to resume the same film. Spectati lays them on top of each other and lets you forget where the content came from.
The problem
Jellyfin and IPTV clients are either web views in an app shell or built for remote controls from 2012. Neither feels like something that belongs on an Apple TV.
The approach
Pure SwiftUI across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with a shared playback stack that passes Dolby Vision and Atmos through instead of boiling them down on the way.
What runs today
Deduplication across sources with automatic best-source selection, iCloud-synced history and favourites, PIN-protected profiles and a full live TV guide.
What it does
Smart deduplication
The same film on two servers becomes one entry, and the best source is picked automatically.
iCloud sync
Watch history, favourites and settings follow you across every Apple device you own.
HDR, Dolby Vision and Atmos
Native passthrough of Dolby Vision and Atmos, full HDR10 and HDR10+, and nearly every codec.
Live TV
IPTV playlists with a channel list and programme guide, side by side with the library.
Profiles and parental controls
PIN-protected profiles, age limits, and hidden channels or providers per profile.
Four platforms
One app, built natively for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
