Coax - Surf your Plex Server

Coax turns an existing personal media server library into scheduled channels with a cable-style guide.

Our take

Rediscover owned media through a fixed lineup

Metadata-based channels reduce choosing one title at a time.

Keep in mind: The intended experience removes pause, skip and rewind; shared schedules currently need periodic top-ups from the creator's running or reopened app.

What you can do

  • Generate channels from library metadata
  • Configure lineups and gap content
  • Use supported AirPlay and schedule sharing

Good for

  • Users with authorized access to a compatible personal media server.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users wanting included streaming content or on-demand playback controls.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.6.
  • The intended experience removes pause, skip and rewind; shared schedules currently need periodic top-ups from the creator's running or reopened app.

Privacy & permissions

Server credentials, playback reporting and shared schedules reveal viewing activity; inspect who has server access.
