Extras & tools
The add-ons get you streams. These tools make the whole setup easier to live with.
Account Bootstrapper
Stremio Account Bootstrapper applies a saved preset to a Stremio account: add-ons, their order, and some settings.
- Use it when setting up a new TV, a family member's account, or after a factory reset.
- Create the preset once, export the link, keep it private — it can contain add-on URLs with your debrid token inside.
- A fork that also supports Nuvio exists.
Addon Manager
Stremio Addon Manager reorders and adds add-ons without reinstalling them one by one.
Add-on order is not cosmetic: Stremio asks them in order, and the first good answer shapes the list. Put your main aggregator first, metadata second, extras last.
AIOManager
AIOManager keeps several Stremio accounts in sync and backs up their add-on configuration. Useful for a household with more than one profile-like account.
Stremio Enhanced (desktop)
Stremio Enhanced is an Electron client that adds plugins and themes on top of Stremio's web UI. Good for:
- custom themes and layout tweaks,
- plugins that extend the player,
- a more current UI than the stable desktop app.
It is unofficial. Bugs go to its GitHub, not to Stremio.
Stremio Community v5
Stremio Community v5 wraps the latest web UI in a WebView2/Qt6 shell. It tends to track Stremio Web faster than the stable desktop release. Same caveat: community project, community support.
Trakt
Connect Trakt in Stremio → Settings → Trakt to keep watch history and progress outside Stremio. Benefits:
- history survives a reinstall or a new device,
- MyTrakt can turn your lists into catalogs,
- recommendations improve over time.
Downloader
Stremio Downloader saves a stream to disk for offline viewing. Remember that a download from a debrid link is still subject to the same legal question as streaming it.
External players
If the built-in player struggles:
- Android / Android TV — Just Player, MX Player, VLC. Set it in Stremio's playback settings.
- Desktop — mpv handles almost everything, at the cost of a keyboard.
- Apple TV — use the Stremio-compatible clients listed in Apps & Forks.
Keeping things tidy
- Every few months, open your add-on list and remove what you do not use.
- Re-check your debrid token after changing your provider password.
- Export your setup with the Bootstrapper before a big change. Rollback is easier than rebuilding.
