Stop opening five apps to find one show.

No. It never streams video and never will. It finds where a title is available and opens the service's own app, which does the playing. It also can't get around a subscription you don't have.

Both, depending on the service, and JumpIn tells you which before you press. On Plex, Max, Apple TV and Prime Video it lands on the title itself — we sat in front of an Apple TV and watched each one do it. Netflix is the stubborn one: its Apple TV app accepts no incoming links whatsoever, so JumpIn opens Netflix and says “Opens the app” rather than pretending otherwise. Anything we haven't watched work with our own eyes keeps the weaker promise. If you want the mechanics, we wrote up how Apple TV deep linking actually works.

Tell JumpIn what you pay each month and it works out what each subscription actually costs you per viewing — from the services you open, counted on your own Apple TV and never sent anywhere. A service you have not opened in three months shows up as exactly that. Free streaming guides make their money on affiliate commission and provider marketing, so advising you to cancel something runs against their revenue. JumpIn is paid, so it can just tell you.

Because a monthly charge for a search box is a decision you'd re-make twelve times a year, and we'd rather you made it once. Annual is $9.99 with the first week free. If you'd rather never see a renewal, $24.99 buys it outright — both unlock exactly the same features, and owning either is enough.

No. There's no sign-up, no login and no server. Your watchlist lives in your own private iCloud database, which means we can't see it. Search works before you configure anything at all.

No advertising, no analytics, no tracking, no IDFA. The only network calls fetch catalogue data and sync your watchlist through Apple's iCloud. There's an optional log of which deep links worked, kept on your device, off by default and clearable.

Most countries. JumpIn follows your Apple TV's region by default and you can override it in Settings. Availability genuinely differs by country, so the badges change with it — here is why a film is on Netflix in one country and Prime in another.

tvOS 17 or newer. A "reduce motion and effects" setting removes the expensive artwork and animation rather than just dimming it, because the 2017–2021 models are noticeably slower.

JumpIn is an Apple TV app, tvOS 17 or newer. Search for JumpIn in the App Store on your Apple TV — it will not appear in the Mac App Store or on an iPhone, because tvOS apps only show on the device they run on. Search and one watchlist are free; Pro adds unlimited watchlists and the Coming Up calendar, as a one-time purchase or an annual subscription.
