Hi everyone,
I'm the developer of Spectati, a new native media player for macOS (also available on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad).
It exists to close the gap between personal media libraries and live television: instead of maintaining separate apps for Plex, Jellyfin and IPTV, Spectati presents them through one library, one player and one synchronized experience.
The Mac version is written in Swift and SwiftUI. It is not Electron, not a web wrapper, and not an enlarged mobile interface. It has proper window behavior, menus, and keyboard navigation.
Current functionality:
Pricing is $3.99 per month or $34.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, covering all supported Apple platforms with one subscription.
App Store: Spectati
Website and screenshots: https://spectati.com
Feedback from longtime Mac users would be especially useful: keyboard navigation, and whether the balance between a media-first interface and conventional Mac behavior feels right. I'll be following the thread.
