Every game on one shelf on Apple TV
Posters, not filenames. Continue Playing sits on top, like the shows you're partway through.

The problem
Your games are a folder of filenames on a drive somewhere. To play one you
open a file browser on a television, scroll a list of .nes files, and
hope you remember which of them is the one you wanted.
What Playbox does
It reads the folder and builds a shelf. Each game gets a poster: the picture you put next to it, or the screen you were last looking at, or a typeset tile with its name. The row across the top is the games you were in the middle of, newest first.
That is the whole library. There are no folders to expand, no metadata to fill in, and nothing to import. The folder on your NAS is the library, and adding a file to it adds a game.
What else Playbox does
- Finds your NAS by itselfIt lists the computers and NAS boxes on your network. Pick one instead of typing an address on a TV.
- Pick up where you left offNo save slots, no state menus. Pause, leave, come back tomorrow. The game is where you left it.
- Sharp on a 4K TVPixel art drawn crisp at the right shape, with none of the shimmer that comes from scaling it wrong.
- Point it at a folderGames in a shared folder. A picture with the same name becomes the poster. That's the whole setup.
