Apple TV & Android TV Apps

TV apps for the biggest screen in the house

Streaming and media brands are moving to the living room, but few studios know how to build TV apps well. We build native Apple TV apps in Swift and native Android TV apps in Kotlin, with focus based navigation, smooth video playback and a 10-foot interface. Our own app Veltoret runs on Android TV today.

  • Media brands, creators and educators with video

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Ask us directly.

Have you built TV apps before?

Yes. Our open source media player Veltoret runs on Android TV with remote navigation, a full video player and a Movies and TV Shows library. You can see screenshots on its project page.

Do I need separate apps for Apple TV and Android TV?

Yes, each platform has its own app built natively, but they can share one backend, one account system and one design, so the second platform costs much less than the first.

Can you add a TV app to my existing mobile app?

Yes. We reuse your backend, accounts and content, then design a TV interface built for the remote. Most TV apps reuse far more than they rebuild.

How long does a TV app take?

A focused streaming or media TV app usually takes 6–10 weeks per platform. You get a fixed timeline after a short discovery call.
