Your picture.
Your way.

Go clean and full screen. Add just a little analog character. Or bring the whole old TV back. You choose how far to rewind.

No cabinet required.

Watch full screen in the video’s original proportions. Keep the regular guide for channel surfing, and turn the TV frame on or off whenever you like.

A little static. A lot of choice.

Scanlines, light snow, glass and cable quirks work over the full-screen picture too. Mix layers, adjust their strength, or switch them off.

Original proportions preserve the whole picture; some movies naturally have black bars. Optional 4:3 Fill crops widescreen video inside a TV frame.

Same favorites.
Whole different atmosphere.

A cozy old set. A haunted movie night. A little lava-lamp lounge. Start with a look, then make it yours.

Find your mellow.

Warm wood, flowing wax, and a glow that follows your colors. Choose the lamp base, set the pace, or let the colors slowly blend.

Recorded with the app’s actual effects and an original display slate. Theme packs are not yet on sale.

Choose colors. Tune the glow. Name your network. Save your favorite combinations in three on-device slots. No tinkering required.

Less choosing.
More watching.

Bring your Plex.

Link your account with a code. Choose your own libraries, or a server already shared with you.

Find your channels.

Mix genres, decades and favorites. Join what’s on right now, like television used to work.

Make yourself at home.

Keep the picture clean or try a preset. Change the frame, colors and effects with simple controls, then save a look you love.

SurfRewind is a player for media you already have permission to access. It doesn’t include movies, shows, live broadcast channels or commercial clips.

Free to watch.
Yours to make weird.

The plan is simple: keep the channel-surfing essentials free. Support SurfRewind with optional looks, not a monthly bill to watch your own library.
