About Stremio
Stremio is a free media centre app that gathers movies, series, live TV and other video from add-ons into one browsable catalogue. Stremio itself hosts no content: what you can watch depends entirely on the add-ons you install. Official ones cover metadata, trailers, free and public-domain channels and links out to services you already subscribe to, while popular community add-ons pull streams from torrents and file hosts, which in many countries means unlicensed copies and legal risk. The app tracks what you've watched, syncs your library and progress across devices, casts to Chromecast, and can play torrents and magnet links directly. Apps exist for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Android TV, several smart-TV platforms and the web, with a more limited experience on iOS. The core apps are open source, and optional supporter plans fund development and unlock experimental features.
Best for: Viewers who want one library and synced watch progress across phone, TV and computer.
