About ShowShark: Stream Your Media
Your media library should be easy to enjoy—not another catalog you scroll through and abandon. ShowShark turns the movies, TV shows, music, photos, and videos you already own into a private streaming service made for Apple devices. Browse anything on demand, get recommendations, or turn your collection into custom 24/7 channels and watch what is already playing. ShowShark has two parts: this player app and ShowShark Server for Mac. STOP SCROLLING. START WATCHING. A large library can create a new problem: too many choices. ShowShark brings back channel surfing with your own media. Create a channel for action movies, classic sitcoms, cartoons, science fiction, family videos, or any mix you want. ShowShark builds the schedule and a live programming guide. Open a channel and join what is playing. YOUR MEDIA, ORGANIZED Install ShowShark Server on a Mac, then add folders, external drives, and SMB or NAS shares. The Server indexes files in place and adds artwork, descriptions, cast details, genres, and other useful metadata. Search by title, actor, artist, album, genre, year, mood, and more. Browse recent additions, continue where you stopped, rediscover old favorites, or play any item directly. Channels are an option, not a restriction. WATCH AT HOME, AWAY, OR OFFLINE Use native ShowShark apps on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Stream over your home network or use built-in remote access when you travel. You do not need router port forwarding or a separate VPN. Download movies, episodes, complete TV seasons, YouTube videos, albums, and tracks for offline playback. ShowShark can adjust video quality for the connection and device. Compatible files can use Original playback to preserve source video, HDR, and supported audio. MORE THAN A MOVIE SERVER Bring more of your media life into one app: • Movies, TV shows, home videos, music, and photos • Podcast subscriptions and Internet Radio • YouTube channels and live broadcasts • IPTV playlists and program guides • Embedded and external subtitles • Profiles, history, favorites, playlists, and recommendations • Skip Intro, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your personal library stays on hardware you control. ShowShark has no ads and no tracking. Core playback does not require a hosted media library or cloud account. HOW TO START 1. Install this ShowShark player app on your Apple devices. 2. Download ShowShark Server from ShowShark.app on a Mac running macOS 14 or later. 3. Add your media folders or NAS shares. 4. Connect, press play, and enjoy your library again.
