These days, there’s almost too much content waiting to be enjoyed. If you find yourself endlessly switching between your favorite apps to catch up on all the movies, shows, music and other media, this Airflow Video Streaming: Lifetime Subscription can help you save some precious time.

Airflow is a unique streaming app for Mac and Windows. It allows you to send just about any video file to your Apple TV, Chromecast and AirPlay 2-enabled televisions in full 4K HDR, without affecting video quality or consuming a whole bunch of data. And it’s on sale for 20% off during our Green Monday sale.

One app to stream everything

While plenty of apps will allow you to send videos and music from your device to your TV (especially if you own an Apple TV or Chromecast), these devices don’t necessarily support all file types for streaming. That’s one thing that makes Airflow unique.

Unlike other FFmpeg apps that might need to alter the original video stream in order to play it (converting it to a lower video resolution, messing with your audio quality or otherwise affecting your viewing experience), Airflow aims to never touch the original file unless absolutely necessary. That means you can enjoy watching your media in the highest-quality format possible, without consuming a lot of CPU load.

Airflow is also the only software to date that allows you to natively stream HEVC videos to your Apple TV and AirPlay 2 TVs — all without transcoding the video. And, unlike other apps that can negatively affect soundtracks or audio, Airflow lets you enjoy lossless audio transcoding when streaming to Apple TV (and high-quality audio transcoding on your Chromecast). Plus, thanks to adaptive audio volume and spatial headphone downmix, you won’t have to deal with jarring audio transitions when watching action or horror films.
