We’re bringing Lunova’s cinematic experience to Apple platforms — designed with SwiftUI and powered by AVPlayer for seamless playback across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Built natively for speed, precision, and elegance.
Native Design. Seamless Ecosystem.
- Full SwiftUI interface, blending modern Apple design language with Lunova’s aesthetic.
- Unified streaming engine across iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS powered by AVFoundation.
- Support for HLS, MP4, MKV, and SRT/VTT subtitles, identical to our Android and Fire OS apps.
- Automatic cloud sync for watch history, preferences, and bookmarks via iCloud.
Technical Foundation
1) SwiftUI + UIKit Hybrid
- SwiftUI drives the main UI and animations; UIKit bridges advanced controls and focus handling for tvOS.
- Adaptive layouts and dynamic type for consistent visuals across all screen sizes.
2) Playback Engine
- Core built on AVPlayerItem for adaptive HLS playback and precise seeking.
- Native support for HDR10, Dolby Vision, and AirPlay 2 streaming.
- Custom subtitle renderer with adjustable fonts, positioning, and colors.
3) Performance & Optimization
- Metal-accelerated rendering for poster grids and motion blur effects.
- Prefetched metadata and thumbnail caching for instant navigation.
- Reduced CPU/GPU load via lazy view rendering and frame throttling.
Design Philosophy
- Apple-first experience with glassy depth, blur, and adaptive motion.
- Consistent focus navigation matching our Android TV and Vega OS builds.
- One account — one universe: your Lunova profile syncs across all devices.
