Scriptorium for Apple TV
An ambient reading room for the big screen.

Scriptorium on Apple TV turns the living-room screen into a reading room. A grid of channels — Hearth, Shadows, Wonder, Nursery, and Vespers — shows what is airing on each right now, over the cover of the book in progress. Pick one and it opens full-bleed: the cover fills the screen, gently animated for the books that have motion art, with a quiet card in the corner naming the channel, the chapter, the author, and where the text and narration came from. It is the same continuous broadcast as scriptorium.live and the iPhone app, computed from a shared schedule, so every screen is on the same second. There is no queue to manage and nothing to pick — you tune in, and it is already playing.
