Coax
Coax is a macOS entertainment app that turns your personal Plex media library into live-style channels and a browsable schedule.
What is Coax?
Coax is a native entertainment app for Mac that helps you watch content from your personal Plex library in a live TV-style format. Instead of choosing every movie or episode manually, it builds channel lineups and a schedule from the media already on your server, so you can flip through what is currently “on” and jump in quickly. It is designed for Plex users who want a simpler, more relaxed way to browse large home media collections. Common uses include creating themed channels, revisiting older shows and movies, and watching from a guide view instead of a traditional library interface. Coax is published by Out to Lunch Productions, LLC and is also available on other Apple platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Apple Vision.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Coax is legitimate media software for people who stream from their own Plex server. Network access to your media server is normal for its purpose, and playback features may rely on the media metadata and server access you already use with Plex. If you no longer use the app, removing it should mainly affect Coax itself, such as saved app data or sign-in state. Keep your Plex server and app updated, and only connect to servers you manage or trust.
Recommendation: Keep Coax if you use Plex and like a channel-style way to browse your library on Mac. If you do not use it, you can remove the app to free space, though you may lose its local settings and have to set it up again later.
