Short description

RetroGuide.TV turns your Plex library into live TV: dozens of always-on channels with a classic cable-style program guide, on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Long description

RetroGuide.TV turns your Plex library into live TV. It builds dozens of always-on channels from the shows and movies you already have: comedy, anime, sci-fi, 90s TV, 24/7 marathons of your favorite series, and more. Turn it on and something is already playing. Flip channels with a swipe or the Siri Remote, drop into whatever's on mid-episode, and browse what's next in a cable-style program guide.

Channels run on a fixed clock with Shuffle, Block Shuffle, Show Rotation or Marathon ordering. Custom channels combine genres, shows, networks, collections, decades and libraries. A built-in player handles MKV, HEVC, AV1, Dolby Vision, DTS, TrueHD and styled subtitles directly, and twelve themes range from Classic Cable to VHS and Teletext.

RetroGuide.TV is free, with RetroGuide Pro as a one-time purchase that removes ads and adds multiple servers, unlimited custom channels, every theme and schedule controls. No accounts, no tracking. Requires a Plex Media Server you own or that is shared with you. RetroGuide.TV is independent and not affiliated with Plex, Inc.
