AirFlick
AirFlick is a macOS utility that streams video and other media from your Mac to an Apple TV over AirPlay, without needing to route content through iTunes. It was created by Erica Sadun as a companion to her other AirPlay tools. The app detects your Apple TV on the network, accepts file URLs or local files, and begins streaming them to the TV. It is designed as a lightweight alternative to full iTunes integration for casual media streaming from Mac to Apple TV.

1 suggestionAirFlick has been discontinued and is no longer supported by the developer. Although the Roaring Apps database entry mentions that a macOS version of AirFlick includes a universal binary and runs natively on Apple Silicon, the app itself has reached end-of-life status and you should not rely on it for ongoing use. The Intel-only build (if that is what you have installed) will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Even if you currently have a native build, the lack of active maintenance means it will not receive security updates or be tested against future macOS releases. Consider switching to a maintained alternative such as Infuse (paid, direct Apple TV streaming from local files and apps) or Plex (freemium media server with Apple TV support), both of which run natively on Apple Silicon and are actively developed.
