A Stremio client for your desktop
Built for adventure.

Windows, 64-bit.
Ten rooms, one app:
- Home
- Discover
- Movies
- Shows
- Anime
- Live TV
- Calendar
- My Library
- Addons

Everything in one place
Out of the box it runs on Cinemeta. Add your own addons and sources and it becomes your companion for discovering and watching.
Smart stream ranking
A Rust engine parses every stream, drops dead links, fakes and mismatches, then ranks the best quality first. Switch streams mid-playback without leaving the player.
Watch together
Synced watch parties with live cursors and drawing, on a relay that deploys to your own Cloudflare account. No central server.
Live TV and Multiview
Bring M3U or Xtream playlists and get a real EPG grid guide, favorites, catchup, built-in DVR and up to four channels at once.
Your home servers
Browse libraries next to local files and online streams, with progress kept in sync.
Cast across the room
Through a bundled cast server and a web cast receiver.
Make it yours
A no-code theme studio and a built-in code editor, eleven presets, font pairings, custom backgrounds, multiple profiles and 40+ regions.
Anime and awards
An anime room with award-winning picks and Kitsu/MAL progress, plus award lists for the Oscars, BAFTA, Cannes, SAG and more.
Addons built in
Install and manage Stremio addons without leaving the app, with a built-in setup viewport and the stremio-addons.net community index.
