Klave 1.0 is on its way to the App Store. It started from a simple frustration: the playlist you already have is a firehose, and almost nothing makes it pleasant to watch on an Apple device. Klave is our answer — a native media player that turns that flood into one tidy, private library.
Klave is a player, not a content provider — the same footing as VLC or Infuse. You bring an M3U URL or an Xtream Codes login for a service you already subscribe to, and Klave handles the playback, the organization, and the discovery. It ships with no playlists and no providers.
Organized the moment you import
The lead feature is the one nothing else does well: content-level dedupe. The moment you import, Klave merges every duplicate copy of a title across every source into a single tile — the 4K and the 1080p, the English and the French audio, the file on your NAS and the stream from your provider — with a quiet Source → Language → Quality picker behind it.
One entry per movie — switch quality or language in a tap.
A real TV guide, done properly
Live channels get a proper timeline guide built from your own XMLTV feed — Now/Next, live progress bars, and program reminders. Shows arrive grouped into seasons and episodes with per-episode resume and auto-play-next, so your library finally looks like a first-party streaming app.
Everywhere, and private
Start on your iPhone, finish on your Apple TV. Favorites, watch history, layout, and sources travel with you through your own private iCloud — there is no Klave account and no server that sees your data. Your provider credentials stay in the device Keychain, and there are no analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs anywhere in the app.
You bring the playlist. Klave brings the player. We cannot wait for you to try it.
