Viewy
Library
A library, not a list.
Movies and series with artwork, plot and cast, every version your provider carries, and More Like This — only titles you can actually play.
For iPhone and iPad
Your provider, beautifully.
Viewy is a player for the TV provider you already have. Sign in, and everything your account carries becomes a library — movies and series with plots and cast, live channels with a real guide, and your place kept in all of it.

Viewy comes with no channels, movies or series, and doesn't help you find any. Everything you watch comes from your own provider.
How it works
Bring your own provider.
Viewy has no catalogue of its own. It signs in to the account you already pay for and makes it good to use.
1
Get your details
A server address, a username and a password — your provider sends them when you sign up.
2
Sign in to Viewy
They stay on your device, with the password in the Keychain, and go only to your provider.
3
Watch
Movies, series and live channels, organised, with your place saved as you go.
Features
Everything your account carries, made easy to watch.
Live TV
A real TV guide.
Now and next at a glance, and reminders before it starts.
Smarter Search
Describe the movie. Viewy finds it.
Can’t remember the title? Say what happens — “brothers drive home through the snowy mountains” — and Viewy searches the stories of your movies, on your device, with the words that matched underlined.
Search
By language and genre.
Try “latest french movies” or “german comedy” — or tap ✦ to describe a movie.
Chromecast
Play it on your TV.
Send a movie, an episode or a live channel to a Chromecast or Google TV on your Wi-Fi — picture, sound and subtitles. Your iPhone stays the remote.
Picture in Picture
Keep watching over other apps.
Leave Viewy while something plays and it carries on in a small window you can move anywhere, subtitles and all.
Pro
Follow a series.
Told when a new episode reaches your provider.
Subtitles
Out of step? Tap the line you just heard.
Subtitles line up in one tap, and the timing is remembered for next time. Your own files, or your OpenSubtitles account.
Downloads
Downloads that pick up where they left off.
Lose the signal halfway through a 6 GB movie and Viewy carries on from there, not from the start. Line up several — they keep going when you leave Viewy, with progress on the Lock Screen on iOS 26.
Pro
Up Next, in order.
Line up movies and episodes. The next one waits at the top of Explore.
My View
Your categories. Nothing else.
Pick what you watch, hide the rest; new arrivals are ringed.
Explore
What you're in the mood for.
What's popular that your provider carries, what's just arrived, and where you left off.
iCloud
Start on your iPhone. Finish on your iPad.
What you've watched, where you stopped, your favourites and your collections follow you through your own iCloud — to every iPhone and iPad signed in to it.
- Continue Watching, on bothStop a movie or an episode on one and it's waiting on the other, at the same place.
- Favourites and collections, mergedChange them on either device. Viewy combines the two, rather than keeping whichever saved last.
- Your password stays putYour provider's password never goes to iCloud. Sign in once on each device and everything's already there.
Kept in your own iCloud account, per provider, where we can't read it. Settings › Storage shows what's there and can erase it.
Guest Mode
Hand it over. Keep your profile.
Nobody wants someone else's viewing in their Continue Watching. Before you pass your phone across, lock Viewy to one view with a passcode.
- One view, nothing elseOnly the rails you chose for that view. Search, the guide and every other tab wait behind the passcode.
- Your history stays yoursWhat's watched while it's locked is kept apart. When you unlock, Viewy shows what was played and how long the phone was away — you decide what, if anything, goes into your history.
- Stays lockedIt can stay locked when Viewy is closed and reopened, and a recovery key sorts out a forgotten passcode.
Guest Mode keeps one view on screen and your history to yourself. It isn't parental control: deleting Viewy removes it.

Questions
Good to know.
- Does Viewy come with channels, movies or series?
- No. Viewy is a player only. It has no content of its own and doesn't help you find any — everything comes from the provider you already have.
- What do I need?
- An account with a provider that supports Xtream Codes sign-in: a server address, a username and a password. Your provider can tell you whether it does. Playlist files (M3U) aren't supported.
- Where do I find my details?
- Usually in the email your provider sent when you signed up. They may call the address a portal or panel address.
- Is my password safe?
- It's kept in the Keychain on your device and sent only to your provider. Viewy has no account system and no server that sees it.
- What if a download is interrupted?
- Viewy keeps what arrived and asks your provider for the rest, so the movie continues from where it stopped. If a provider can't send part of a file, the download starts again — Viewy notices, and says so before your next one.
- Is Guest Mode parental control?
- No. It keeps one view on screen and what's watched out of your history. It isn't a security feature — anyone who deletes and reinstalls Viewy removes it, along with your providers and settings.
- Which devices does it run on?
- iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later.
- Do my iPhone and iPad stay in step?
- Yes, through your own iCloud. What you've watched, where you stopped, your favourites and your collections reach every iPhone and iPad signed in to it, per provider. Your password doesn't — sign in once on each device. My View and Up Next stay on the device you set them up on.
- Can I watch on my TV?
- Yes, on a Chromecast or Google TV on the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone or iPad. Keep Viewy open, and the device unlocked, while you cast. AirPlay can send the sound to a speaker, but not the picture.
- How do I cancel Pro?
- On your iPhone or iPad: Settings › your name › Subscriptions › Viewy.
- Something isn't working.
- See Support, or email support@direbark.com — it reaches the person who writes the app.
