Apple TV & Android TV

atreoLINK runs on Apple TV (tvOS), Android TV, and Fire TV (gen 3 and newer). It’s the same app you use on your phone, with the same account and the same per-app access. The TV builds don’t support push notifications — use your phone for those.

Sign in with the same atreoLINK account you use on your phone. The remote-friendly sign-in screen lets you type your email and password using the on-screen keyboard. Two-factor codes work the same as on your phone.

If you’ve never accepted an invite on the TV before, do it from your phone first — it’s an easier flow there.

The atreoLINK TV app server screen showing the Servers and Settings tabs at the top, the connected server, and a list of app URLs (Home Assistant and Jellyfin) below ready to be opened in a native TV app.

The TV layout puts the tabs at the top of the screen. There are two tabs:

  • Servers. Your servers and their apps.
  • Settings. Sign out, app version.

There’s no Notifications tab. tvOS and Android TV don’t support push notifications. Use your phone if you want them.

Pick a server, press Connect, and the TV brings up the WireGuard tunnel. The tunnel runs in the background while you watch, even when the atreoLINK app isn’t on screen. You can switch to your media app, the tunnel stays up.

On the same account on multiple devices: the tunnel is per-device. Connecting on the Apple TV doesn’t take down the tunnel on your phone.

The TV apps don’t include an in-app browser. Tapping a tile shows the app URL as text — or, for an exposed-port app, the server’s host:port. To use the app, open that address on your phone, tablet, or computer — anything else that’s also connected to the tunnel.

For media apps with native TV clients (Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Infuse), open the native client on the TV directly and point it at the per-app URL: e.g. set Jellyfin’s server URL to https://jellyfin.alice.atreo.link. The traffic flows over the tunnel transparently.

Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, and your phone all use the same atreoLINK account. The server owner invites you once. Every device you sign into picks up the same access automatically.
