Become a sponsor to Philipp Bischoff

👋 Hi, I'm Philipp

I build Lume — a modern, native IPTV player for the entire Apple ecosystem: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, all from a single SwiftUI codebase.

Lume connects to your own Xtream Codes, M3U/M3U8, or Stalker portal playlist and turns it into a beautiful, fast experience — Live TV with a full EPG, Movies, and Series enriched with artwork, cast, trailers, and ratings from TMDB and OMDb. It has user profiles with parental controls, Continue Watching, on-device recommendations, Trakt scrobbling, and iCloud sync that follows you across every device. Three interchangeable playback engines mean it plays just about
anything.

It's the app I always wanted but couldn't find: native, private, ad-free, and open source (AGPL-3.0) — no tracking, no bundled content, no subscriptions.

💛 Why sponsor?

Lume is a one-person labor of love, and it's my only open-source project. Sponsorship lets me:

• Keep it free and ad-free for everyone
• Ship new features faster — semantic search, more platforms, deeper integrations
• Fix bugs and support the community (find us on Discord)
• Cover the costs of an Apple Developer account, API services, and test hardware

Every contribution — big or small — directly funds development and keeps Lume independent. Thank you for helping me build something great. 🙏
