Native. Open. Yours.
A fast, native streaming client for Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A real player, your own add-ons, and nothing between you and the screen.
Take it to the big screen
Every detail page goes full bleed: the artwork fills the screen, the details sit over it, and a muted trailer plays behind. The focused tab follows your accent, and a living backdrop tucks underneath as you browse.

Latest releaseWhy VortX
A true libmpv core. TrueHD and Atmos, HDR and Dolby Vision, subtitles that render properly. No transcoding tax, no web wrapper between you and the file.
Built on the open stremio-core engine, so the add-ons, catalogs, library, and watch history you already have come straight across.
Focus that behaves on the remote, a cinematic detail page, profiles with a PIN, and a living backdrop that sits behind everything.
No tracking, no paywalled basics, no account required to use it. Open source, and yours to build from.
What you get
One press plays the genuinely best source. Resolution first, then a true remux over web, then HDR and lossless audio, with file size only breaking ties.
Continue Watching, every catalog, Discover, Library, Live TV, and search, all driven by the engine.
Hold to seek, an Up Next band, chapters, quality switching at your position, and audio and subtitle sync.
A skip pill the moment a known segment starts, crowd-sourced and merged with the file's own chapters.
Who's watching, per-profile themes and avatars, an optional four-digit PIN. Free.
Yours, everywhere
Profiles and preferences the account never carried now travel with you. Show a code on your Apple TV, scan it with your phone, and your setup is safe. End to end encrypted, so only your devices can read it.
A VortX account, free and login-less. Sync arrives with the app.

Honest answers
No. VortX is its own product. It is built on the open-source stremio-core engine and works with Stremio add-ons, but it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Stremio.
No. VortX hosts and indexes no media and provides no content of its own. It plays only what your own installed add-ons return. You bring your own add-ons.
The apps are sideloaded for now, with Sideloadly, AltStore, SideStore, or Signulous on iPhone and Apple TV, and a right-click to open on Mac. A self-hosted update channel is on the way.
Nothing. VortX is free and open source. Everything other clients moved behind a paywall ships here free, with our own implementations.
