NaboTV on a TV, with Continue Watching showing shows in progress from Plex, Hulu, and Netflix

One guide for every service

Instead of opening five apps to find a show, you search once and see every place it streams, including your own media server. The catalog covers nearly every movie and show, with real availability for the streaming services you subscribe to. Your Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin library sits in the same rails, so what you own and what you stream are side by side.

Pick something, and it plays right in NaboTV from your own library, or opens straight into the provider app that has it. Continue Watching follows you across all of them.

More than a remote for other apps

  • Friends, reviews, and ratings are part of every title.
  • Collections give a franchise a watch order and track your progress through it.
  • Games and trivia turn the TV into something to play together, with AI opponents when you're alone.
  • An ambient screensaver with weather keeps the TV useful when nobody is watching.
  • A modules platform lets developers add to the experience.

On every screen in the house

NaboTV runs on Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, phones, and the web. A Roku player pairs with your phone, which acts as the remote and casts to the TV.

The idea goes back a long way: the first Nabo TV was a Kickstarter in 2014.
