Apps & Forks
Stremio ships as a free, open-source media center. The official app covers the basics; the community builds forks and alternative clients when you want a newer UI, better codec support or features the official app does not have yet.
Official apps
- ⭐ Stremio / Downloads — Free, open-source media center. Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Android TV, LG webOS and Samsung Tizen. The current release is Stremio 5 (beta channel).
- Stremio Web — The browser client. It is the recommended way to use Stremio on iPhone and iPad, where there is no native app.
- Stremio Shell — The official Qt-based desktop shell. Build it yourself if you want to run the desktop app from source.
- stremio-shell-ng — The official next-generation shell (WebView2 + mpv, written in Rust). The base that most modern desktop forks build on.
- Stremio Service — The local streaming server the desktop app talks to. Useful if you run Stremio on a headless box or a home server.
Desktop clients & forks
- ⭐ Stremio Enhanced — Electron-based desktop client with support for plugins and themes. Actively developed and the safest "power user" choice on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- ⭐ Stremio Community v5 — WebView2 and Qt6 shell that pairs the latest Stremio web UI with a native player. The base most other desktop forks are built on.
- Stremio Kai — A refined fork of Stremio Community v5 with a modern UI, HDR passthrough, intro skipping, and tuning for anime and lower-end PCs.
- Nuvio — A separate modern client that reads the same Stremio add-on manifests. Worth a look if you want something that is not Stremio itself.
Mobile & TV
- Stremio for Android / Android TV — The official mobile and TV apps.
- Alder — Android TV client built on Stremio, with a TV-first interface.
- Lumera — Android TV app that plays your existing Stremio add-ons.
- Raffi — Modern streaming client built around Stremio add-ons, with a fast player and one unified library.
- dxbi — Netflix-style client for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android TV and Google TV.
- Hikari — Universal streaming app for Stremio add-ons, scrapers and CloudStream extensions.
- ynotv — Free Windows IPTV player with Stremio and Nuvio integration.
Web clients
- Stremio Web — The official web client. Install it as a PWA and it behaves almost like a native app.
Before you install a fork
- Forks are unofficial: the Stremio team does not support them, and bugs belong in the fork's GitHub issues.
- Download only from the Releases page of the fork's GitHub repository, never from a file locker or a Telegram channel.
- A fork can lag behind on security and add-on compatibility. If something stops working after a Stremio update, the fork is the usual suspect.
- On iPhone and iPad, use Stremio Web: there is no official native iOS app, and sideloaded builds are not worth the hassle.
