1. Plex
In recent years, Plex has become the household name in personal media servers, allowing users to organize their home library of movies, TV shows and music into a slick and beautiful interface, and then stream them to an array of devices. Now, after being available on iOS for years, it’s finally coming to Apple TV.
2. Withings Home
Though the bulk apps available for the new Apple TV at launch are, naturally, centered around video and audio consumption, the new tvOS platform and app store allow for variety. One of the more intriguing apps at launch comes from Withings Home. The HD video monitor and air quality sensor will let users keep an eye on their home, or perhaps the sleeping baby upstairs, from the comfort of their couch.
3. Streaks Workout
The new Apple TV is a natural fit for workout enthusiasts thanks to the tvOS platform and app store. Streaks gives users the opportunity to do a bevy of exercises in their living room, all while recording the pace and number of repetitions. The app also has nice customization features, meaning you can get the most out of your workout.
4. VLC Player
Long the standard in free and open source media players, VLC is bringing its robust library of file types and streaming protocols to Apple’s little box of magic. An exciting addition for Apple TV users, having VLC on board could open up playback options for users, making movie night a little less stressful when funky files are involved.
5. Airbnb
Airbnb shows the capabilities of Apple TV outside video playback. Though it may seem odd at first to include a travel app on a set-top box, when you consider that the television is the largest, and most social screen in the home, having shopping, travel and other amenity-type apps makes perfect sense. Now, you no longer have to huddle around a 13-inch screen when choosing your next getaway.
