4 Companion Apps Expand Plex With Free Downloads, Stats and Live-TV Channels

Summary
Four third-party apps—Tautulli, Plezy, Infuse and QuasiTV—can fill gaps in Plex by adding server analytics, broader playback support and alternative ways to watch a library.
Tautulli focuses on monitoring, surfacing viewing history, user activity, bandwidth use and other server stats that go beyond Plex’s built-in tools, with remote access on desktop, Android and iOS.
Plezy replaces the official client with free desktop apps and paid mobile versions, bringing offline downloads, Watch Together, intro and credit skipping, plus wider codec support that can reduce transcoding.
Infuse targets Apple devices by merging local files with Plex or Jellyfin libraries in one interface, while QuasiTV turns a Plex collection into scheduled channels on Android TV and Fire TV.
The broader takeaway is that Plex remains a strong base media server, but companion apps can bypass paywalls, add missing features and tailor the experience without changing platforms.
