Transform any portrait display into a stunning movie poster wall. Now Showing automatically loads artwork from your media players, displays live playback progress, and scales to 8K resolution.
Our biggest update yet gives Now Showing a brain. A new unified Library brings Scenes, Timers, and Playlists together — save your favorite looks, run a countdown over a dimmed poster, and schedule it all to play automatically across every display in the house.
Scenes Library
Save configurations to an iCloud-synced library — rename, export, import, and switch from a title menu.
Countdown Timers
A glass countdown pill over a dimmed poster, by duration or clock time — and it fires a command when it starts and ends.
Playlists & Scheduling
Chain Scenes and Timers to run automatically — Default, One-Time, Recurring, and On-Demand triggers.
Send to Network Displays
Push Timers and Playlists to any other Now Showing display on your network, plus a new tvOS poster layout picker.
Now Showing turns a simple portrait display into an experience worthy of the best home theaters in the world.
Automatically loads high-resolution movie poster artwork based on what's playing on your media player. No manual setup needed.
Looping video posters bring artwork to life with cinematic motion — like the animated posters from the wizarding world, but for every film.
Poster artwork renders at the highest resolution your display supports — from 1080p all the way to 8K and MicroLED walls.
See exactly what's playing and how far along it is. Live progress bars and movie metadata are overlaid directly on the poster display.
Customize the classic marquee look with "Tonight's Show" and "Take Your Seats" banners, theater light borders, and vintage typography.
Drive multiple poster displays from a single Mac mini. Perfect for theaters, lobbies, and homes with displays in multiple rooms.
Save your favorite looks as Scenes in an iCloud-synced library, then chain them into Playlists that play automatically on a schedule you set.
Run a countdown over a dimmed poster — "Showtime in 10 minutes" — and fire a command to your media player the moment it begins.
Now Showing runs on the Apple hardware you already own. Choose the deployment that fits your space and budget.
Mac mini (M1 or later) connected to any TV in portrait orientation. A Samsung Frame is our favorite — its matte finish reads like a real printed poster — but any display works. Supports multiple displays from one Mac.
Apple TV 4K connected to any display. The most affordable option — no computer required.
iPad with M1 or later drives an external USB-C display in portrait. Requires iPadOS 26.
Mount any modern iPad directly on the wall as its own display. Ideal for hallways, theater entrances, and compact spaces.
Now Showing connects directly to media players on your network. Add Roomie Remote to unlock even more.
These players connect directly to Now Showing — no additional software needed.
Roomie tells Now Showing which Activity is running and which player to track — automatically.
Now Showing works great on its own — but it's even better with Roomie Remote. When paired, Roomie tells Now Showing which Activity is running and which media player to track. No manual selection needed.
Roomie knows which Activity started and passes the active media player to Now Showing.
Every media player Roomie controls can feed artwork and progress to Now Showing.
Both apps discover each other on the network automatically. Nothing to configure.
