Brief overview
TV-Browser is a free, lightweight electronic program guide created for macOS. It retrieves current television schedules from online sources and displays them in a clear, easy-to-scan layout reminiscent of printed TV listings. With many channels available today, the app simplifies finding programs so viewers can keep up with their favorite shows.
How to navigate schedules
You can quickly locate programs by specifying a date and time, then scrolling through the listings for all channels. The interface is designed for smooth browsing, making it straightforward to jump between days or jump to a particular timeslot without confusion.
Customization and organization
Users can build a personalized lineup of favorite channels and tailor how those channels appear. Sorting options include:
- By theme or genre (for example: sports, drama, news)
- By country of origin
- By the language of the broadcast
- By broadcast time or schedule
These filters help you narrow down content and organize channels in a way that fits your viewing habits.
Key functionality at a glance
- Downloads up-to-date program data from the internet automatically.
- Presents listings in a familiar grid or list format for quick scanning.
- Lets you maintain a favorites list for faster access to preferred channels.
Free alternatives to consider
- EPG Collector — a desktop tool that aggregates guide data from multiple sources.
- Web-based program guides — accessible from any browser without installing software.
- Media center add-ons (e.g., for Kodi) — integrate TV listings into a broader home-theater setup.
If you want, I can suggest which option might suit your setup best (macOS only, cross-platform, or integrated media center).
