Channel surfing is back on Apple TV.
Nostalgex turns your own movies and shows into 130+ channels with a retro TV guide. Sign in and it's already on.
Plug and play
-
01
Download Nostalgex from the App Store on your Apple TV.
-
02
Sign in.
Plex uses a quick code. Jellyfin and Emby can find your server on your network, then Jellyfin uses Quick Connect or your login, and Emby uses your login.
-
03
Pick a channel.
Something is already playing, right in the middle, like real TV.
Nothing to install on your server. No plugins, no Docker, no setup.
Stop scrolling. Start watching.
- No more deciding what to watch. Flip until something grabs you.
- 130+ channels in bundles like KIDZ ZONE, DECADES, FRANCHISES, SCREAM and TIS THE SEASON
- A classic channel guide showing what's on now and next
- Built for the Siri Remote: in full screen, left and right change channels, and up and down bring up the channel strip and what's playing
- Works with Plex, Jellyfin and Emby
Your shelf, scheduled
Saturday morning cartoons, 90s action, slashers in October, holiday movies in December. SCREAM and TIS THE SEASON ask to come on when their season starts, and stay on all year if you want them. Channels build themselves from what's already in your library.
Apple TV questions, answered.
Is Nostalgex free?
Yes. It's free, with an optional tip jar that unlocks nothing.
Do I need my own media server?
Yes. Nostalgex plays from your own Plex, Jellyfin or Emby library. It doesn't stream anything else.
Do I have to set anything up on my server?
No. Sign in from the app and your channels are built for you.
Is it like Pseudo TV, Tunarr or ErsatzTV?
Same idea, live style channels from your own library, but there's no server software to run. It's an app you download and sign in to.
