Halo for PlexBetaOpen app
Public beta · independent companion app — works with Plex

Your Plex library,
floating in your view.

Halo is a heads-up companion that streams the movies and shows from your own Plex server straight to Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses — designed for a glanceable 600 × 600 canvas and the Neural Band D-pad.

Halo is in public beta — expect rough edges and rapid updates. Requires a Plex account and a reachable Plex Media Server. No content is provided by Halo.

A simulated 600 × 600 HUD — the native canvas on the glasses.

Built for a tiny screen and a quick glance.

Every screen is tuned for the additive waveguide, the 600-pixel square canvas, and the four-direction Neural Band input.

Resume from anywhere

Pulls your Plex “On Deck” the second you sign in. Pick up an episode you started on the TV without lifting a finger.

D-pad first

Every control — play, scrub, zoom, next episode — is reachable with the four-direction Neural Band gestures.

Glanceable HUD

High-contrast amber UI on pure black so the additive display stays readable against any real-world scene.

1× / 1.5× / 2× zoom

Tap a single button to fill the full 600-square canvas when you want a more immersive watch.

Syncs your progress

Playback position pushes back to your Plex server, so On Deck and Continue Watching stay accurate on every device.

Your library only

Halo never hosts or streams content. It connects to your own Plex Media Server and plays what you already own.

Three steps. No new accounts.

01

Sign in with Plex

Open Halo and enter the 4-character code at plex.tv/link from any phone or computer.

02

Pick your server

Halo auto-detects your own Plex Media Server. Nothing of yours is uploaded or copied to us.

03

Glance and play

On Deck appears instantly. Pinch-tap an episode and it plays in the 600-square HUD.

What you need

Halo works with what you already own.

Halo is an independent app. It is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Plex, Inc. or Meta Platforms, Inc. It plays only the media that lives on your own Plex Media Server.

  • Your own Plex account (free or Plex Pass)
  • A running Plex Media Server with your personal media
  • Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses with the Web Apps runtime
  • A Wi-Fi connection your server is reachable on

Questions, answered.

Is Halo made by Plex or Meta?+

No. Halo is an independent, third-party app built by enthusiasts. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Plex, Inc. or Meta Platforms, Inc. It works with the public Plex API and runs on the Meta Ray-Ban Display Web Apps runtime.

Do you stream movies or shows?+

No. Halo does not host, distribute, or stream any content of its own. It connects to the Plex Media Server you already run, and plays only the media you already have access to.

Do I still need a Plex account?+

Yes. Halo signs in with your existing Plex account using Plex's standard PIN flow at plex.tv/link. We never see your Plex password.

What about Plex Pass?+

Plex Pass is not required, but features like hardware transcoding that depend on it will only work if your own server already has them.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Cancel from your account page and your subscription stops at the end of the current month.
