Stremio

Stremio Mobile is an open-source Android streaming app focused on bringing a modern native Stremio experience to phones and tablets. It combines the Stremio addon ecosystem with a Compose-first Android UI, local torrent/HTTP streaming, selectable internal players, web-parity subtitle and audio controls, and a configurable Liquid Glass interface.

Why Use This Instead of the Official App?

This project is built for users who want a transparent, performance-focused Android Stremio experience with more local control than the standard app.

- Area: Official Stremio compatibility What this app focuses on: Uses the Stremio core through the Kotlin/JNI core bridge for account, addons, catalogs, library, meta details, streams, player state, and sync behavior. The app replaces the Android interface and local streaming layer, not the Stremio addon ecosystem.

- Area: Interface speed What this app focuses on: Native Kotlin/Compose screens with a low-cost Classic UI and configurable Liquid Glass modes, including a Performance mode for lower-end phones.

- Area: Streaming performance What this app focuses on: A bundled Rust stream-server integrated through JNI for local torrent/HTTP streaming instead of a Node.js-style local server runtime on Android.

- Area: Memory use What this app focuses on: The stream-server project documents an approximate ~50MB memory profile compared with ~200MB+ for Stremio server.js, with native Rust performance as the design goal.

- Area: Seeking and downloads What this app focuses on: stream-server supports HTTP range requests for instant seeking, HLS transcoding, torrent stats, archive streaming, subtitle extraction, and video probing.

- Area: Anime and advanced subtitles What this app focuses on: MPV can be selected as an internal player, with ASS subtitle styling controls, subtitle delay/size/position, local subtitle import, and web-parity subtitle language/variant menus.

- Area: Transparency What this app focuses on: The Android app, release workflow, native packaging, MPV wrapper, and streaming server integration are developed in public repositories. GitHub Releases publish signed APKs plus SHA256 checksums.

The official app is the official support channel. This app is the open-source, native Android alternative for users who want the Stremio core and addon ecosystem behind a faster-moving Android UI, a Rust-powered local streaming engine, selectable ExoPlayer/MPV playback, richer subtitle controls, and APKs that can be inspected from source to release.
