Multiple windows
⌘N opens another window, so a channel list, a download queue and a player can sit side by side or on a second display.
FoxDL for Mac
A Mac app, not a phone app in a window.
Menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, ⌘-click selection, as many windows as you want and the player in its own. The same library and the same Pro subscription as your iPhone — and no advertising anywhere in the build.

FoxDL What it does here
The player in its own window
Resize it, park it in a corner, move it to another display — it is a window, not a sheet over the app.
IPTV with the room for it
M3U and Xtream accounts with the guide, the catalogue and catch-up, on a screen big enough to browse a two-million-channel list.
Finder-native file work
⌘-click and Select All, Reveal in Finder, and any mounted volume — including network shares — browsed and played in place.
Downloads at desk speed
Parallel, resumable transfers that keep running while the app is open, with HLS streams remuxed into ordinary MP4 files.
No advertising at all
The Mac build links no ad SDK. Nothing to hide, nothing to close — free use is metered daily instead.
What is different on the Mac
- No advertising — the build contains no ad SDK, so there is nothing to remove and no rewarded video to watch.
- Daily allowances instead of earned ones, because of the above.
- Wi-Fi Transfer is free, where on iPhone and iPad starting a session uses an allowance.
- No Apple Watch companion or Car Mode — those need the phone.
The free version on Mac
Because there is no advertising to fund it, the Mac free tier is a fixed daily allowance rather than something you top up.

Is FoxDL a real Mac app?
Yes — it runs natively on macOS with a menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, ⌘-click multi-select, multiple windows and the player in its own resizable window, plus Reveal in Finder. It is the same app and the same library as on iPhone, and one subscription covers both.
Read the FAQIs there an IPTV player for Mac?
Yes — FoxDL is a native Mac app, not a phone app in a window. Live channels, the movie and series catalogue, EPG and catch-up all work there, with a menu bar, multiple windows, ⌘-click selection and the player in its own window. One subscription covers Mac and iPhone together.
Read the FAQHow many downloads can I make in the free version?
On iPhone and iPad the free version starts with 3 download passes and tops up by 3 whenever you choose to watch a short rewarded video. On the Mac, where there is no advertising at all, you get 5 downloads a day. FoxDL Pro removes the limit on every platform.
Read the FAQHow do I send files from my computer to my iPhone without iTunes?
Turn on Wi-Fi Transfer in FoxDL, open the address it shows in a web browser on your computer, and enter the 6-digit PIN. Then drag files into the page. Both devices stay on your own network and nothing passes through a server of ours.
Read the FAQWhat is different between the iPhone, iPad and Mac versions?
The engine, the library and the features are the same on all three, and one Pro subscription covers them together. The differences are the layout, a few iPhone-only extras like the Watch companion and Car Mode, and the free tier: the Mac has no advertising at all, so its allowances are daily instead of earned.
Read the FAQCan I play from an external drive or another app’s folder?
Yes. Bookmark a folder on a connected drive, an SD card or another app’s storage, and FoxDL browses and plays from it in place — no copying, no doubling your storage. The bookmark survives restarts, so the folder is there next time the drive is.
