Nothing to browse.Something’s always on.
Streaming asks what you want to watch. A video shop never did — you walked in, saw what was on the shelf, and took something home. Rerun turns the TV shows on your own Plex server into numbered channels you flip through.

Every one of them built from shows already in one Plex library.
The picture
Every channel runs through a two-pass Metal pipeline — a virtual raster, a shadow mask, and light handled in the right colour space. Not a filter laid over the video. Eight sets, plus the picture left alone.
- Broadcast '87A good consumer set, tuned in
- TrinitronSharp aperture grille, flat glass
- Console SetSlanted shadow mask, wooden cabinet
- ArcadeSlot mask, driven hard

Membership
- You bring the tapes
- Rerun plays what is already on your Plex server. It stocks nothing, streams nothing of its own, and every episode it opens is one you already had.
- You set the shelves
- Put shows on numbered channels. One show to a channel or twenty, ordered the way a schedule is ordered rather than the way a file browser is.
- No browsing required
- Open the app and something is already on. Press up for the next channel. Episodes advance without repeating until the shuffle runs out.
Not open yet
There is nothing to buy and no way to sign up. The apps are in TestFlight and the hosted lineup service is still being built. You will need your own Plex server with a TV library — Rerun is a client for what you already have.
Due back soon
