Getting Started

Launch the app, add your HLS stream URLs (.m3u8), select streams in the list, and tap Start Monitoring. The multiview grid opens with real-time health status on every cell.

Subscription & Billing

Subscriptions are managed through the App Store. To cancel or change your plan, go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on your device. Your 1-month free trial starts when you first subscribe.

What streams are supported?

Any HLS stream with a .m3u8 manifest, including those behind CDN authentication (Akamai, CloudFront, custom headers).

Does it work with FAST channels?

Yes. StreamWatch is specifically designed for 24/7 linear FAST channel monitoring with always-on health detection.

Is my data private?

All stream URLs and configuration stay on your device (with optional iCloud sync) and are never sent to me. No tracking, no third-party analytics SDKs, no ads. The app sends anonymous counts of which screens get used so I can fix what gets in your way — switch it off in Settings › Privacy. Full details in the privacy policy.
