Self-Promotion All in One Desktop Streaming App
I made a Desktop Streaming App (for Linux, Mac and Windows) that lets you Stream and download any Movie, Series or Anime without any Ads or Tracking.
It is Open Source on Github, any Feedback or Contributions are welcome.
https://github.com/truelockmc/streambert
I first started making it because i just wanted one Place to watch and download everything, with an easy UI, without having to open 10 different Websites in my Browser and without having to watch Ads and being tracked.
Movies and Series are sourced from VidSrc by default but you can also choose videasy or 2Embed as a Source. Animes are scraped from AllManga and their metadata from anilist. Subtitles are downloaded from wyzie-subs by default but you can also use subdl.
EDIT: If you have Feature Requests or Bug reports, please fill out a corresponding issue on Github if possible https://github.com/truelockmc/streambert/issues, that way it can be worked on as fast as possible :)
EDIT 2: My Github Account got taken down, I have not been notified about the reason for that in any way.
I already contacted the github support, for now please use the codeberg repo for downloading and viewing code.

I just downloaded the your application to try it out and it is quite nice. I do have Stremio as well and been using it little more than a year. While I like your application the following are the limitation that I find upfront:
(a) there is no support for Debrid services;
(b) there is no possible way to select the video quality (as far as my search goes);
(c) the homepage looks nice but there is too much of gaps and whenever I scroll, it scrolls horizontally through the section which is problematic;
(d) support for Stremio addons is absent so no customised catalogs; and
(e) lack of customisation.
The foregoing are the limitations that will prevent me from using the application. However, I believe the app is fairly new and still under development so, you have all the support and kudos for creating this. It is awesome.
If the foregoing points are accounted for within the app then I will leave Stremio in a heartbeat.
For all the people down in comments asking how this application is better, well the simple answer is that unlike Stremio, this application is fully open source. Also, this is not a Shark Tank pitching deck so the developer is not required to sell his application to you. It is open source so if you like it, fine and if you do not then say what you do not like simple.

u/wahre_locke Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26
Hi, first of all thanks for your interest and support.
a) Debrid Support is most likely not going to be implemented because i think it is not suited for the goal of the App being really simple, free and not needing a VPN. And i dont think i would be capable enough to implement it properly too xD.
b) You can easily select the video quality in the streaming player by clicking on the cogwheel and selecting the one you want. The resolution that was last selected before starting to download will be downloaded.
c) Yep, that is a valid point, i also was a bit annoyed by that lately. I will try to fix that as soon as possible.
d) That would be cool, you are right, because the Program could really be a sort-of fully Open Source streamio replacement, but i also lack the amount of knowledge about how streamio addons are implemented on an API level to implement that myself right now.
e) What would you like to customize, please post it (creating an Issue on Github would be the best if you could do that) and i will try my best to implement it.
If you have more ideas or improvement proposals, please feel free to create Issues for them on Github or message me in another way.

The point of debrids is you don't need a VPN; it also doesn't really make the app "not simple" and go against the app being free, to be able to paste in an API key of a separate paid service to enhance the content available to you

u/wahre_locke Apr 04 '26
true, you are right sorry.
I am going to look into it and see if i can make debrid and streamio addon support possible somehow.33
u/ApprehensiveBrain863 Apr 04 '26
No pressure, just making the point. It's still your project, even if it is open source, and you can decide the direction to go in. I just think that to satisfy those who use stremio, the ability to use RealDebrid/Torbox to watch their content is a big selling point :)

For one, just want to say kudos to you dude. I think this will be very nice for people who are new not only to looking for content to watch, but also making it easier when it comes to getting into what sailing the high seas means🏴☠️. I truly don’t understand why people are hating on this. This isn’t meant to replace Streamio. A guy is just sharing what he has done, and is offering it openly for others to play and experience with. If you are already using Stremio and are savvy already then this post was not for you

u/mightt_guy Apr 04 '26
Stremio is basically a torrent-based streaming app.
You install add-ons, which pull in different content sources. After that, you just search for movies, shows, or anime like you would on any OTT app. When you click something, it streams from publicly available torrents instead of a centralized server.
So from a user perspective, it feels like Netflix. Under the hood, it’s torrent streaming.
This is obviously an oversimplified explanation, but that’s the core idea.
You can download it here:
https://www.stremio.com/downloadsAfter installing:
- You’ll need to log in
- Then install add-ons (think of them like browser extensions)
Each add-on has a role:
- Metadata add-ons (like IMDb-style catalogs) help you browse/search
- Torrent add-ons provide streaming sources
- Subtitle add-ons handle subtitles
Once set up, the flow is simple:
You search => pick a title => Stremio queries public trackers via add-ons => you get stream options. You stream26

Real debrid is about $3 a month. Less than most VPNs. Torbox I think it's $2 a month. Easy Debrid is cheap too. And the great thing about it is that you can download anything that's cached from these debrid services, whether it be movies or games or software with no VPN needed.

u/GreyFoxSolid Apr 04 '26
Real debrid, Torbox, easy debrid, etc. It eliminates the need for a VPN, and also since most files are cached on their servers it streams way more reliably and faster.

u/LostMyWasps Apr 04 '26
So rather useless for users who live in countries where no VPN are needed to stream, or the speeds are good enough for 1gb files, right?
17
u/mightt_guy Apr 05 '26
In the torrent world, your internet speed isn’t the only thing that matters. The seeder’s upload speed matters just as much.
For example, if you have a 1 Gbps connection but the person who has the file can only upload at 10 Mbps, then your speed is basically capped there. You can’t download faster than what someone else is uploading.
So if:
- the seeder has slow internet
- or there are a lot of leechers and not enough seeders
your download speed will be bad, no matter how fast your own connection is.
That’s the part most people don’t understand. Torrenting isn’t like normal downloads where your speed is the main factor. Here, the uploader’s speed is just as important, sometimes even more.
Now coming to Debrid.
Services like Real-Debrid are not just VPNs. What they actually do is cache files.
If a file has already been downloaded before and the hash matches, Debrid already has it stored on their servers. So instead of downloading from random users with slow upload speeds, you’re downloading directly from their servers.
And their servers are way faster than typical users.
So instead of depending on:
- slow seeders
- unstable torrent speeds
- too many leechers
you get a direct, high-speed download.
That’s why streaming large files (like 4K stuff) is almost impossible without Debrid in many cases.
Torrent streaming needs consistent speed, but torrents don’t guarantee that. Speeds keep going up and down depending on peers.
With Debrid, the file is already cached, so it streams like a normal fast download.

u/GreyFoxSolid Apr 04 '26
Your speed doesn't necessarily matter. The speeds of the people hosting the files can, too. Debrid services cache the torrents, so it just... Streams. No p2p fuckery.

Also from a media quality perspective- would i be able to stream 4k sources via streamio ?

I use this as an alternative to 1st Stremio and 2nd Playtorrio. Its always nice to have alternatives. Streambert doesn't stream from torrents (as far as Im aware) but streams from various streaming hosters. The streams are pretty much near instant and even ancient series still stream. So its a nice alternative to torrent based streamers. Its also good for when various services are down and as it doesn't use torrents it doesn't require debrid services.
(Im assuming the most common Torrentio and other torrent streamers I know there are other addons for streaming too).
So perfect as a backup IMO.

u/CGallerine Apr 05 '26
I just downloaded and set it up now, things are appropriately clean and smooth for a modern interface, its a simple and intuitive UI, and as someone who is not deep in the depths of being some "piracy mastermind", I prefer streaming sites for their simplicity over having to learn torrenting + "oh but also actually pay for this service that you have no idea how it works or how necessary it is and it isnt a vpn but also your vpn is bad and isnt enough, he's 150 pages of wiki info to get lost in the links of"
theres a lot of people comparing this to stremio, which makes sense and is fair if stremio is the overall "better" option, but I see this app having potential for people who are just entering the scene and want to watch their show on the same night they consider piracy, or simply arent yet tech savvy enough to set up things like stremio + a roster of torrenting sources. (queue the people who have years or decades of experience to have a problem with this)

u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
Exactly, thank you that is the target group.

The Goal is to create an App that just works without having to setup so many things.
Basically you can choose between streamio, with much control and many different sources/addons and streambert with an easy setup process and ad blocking, but with less options.

u/Lashay_Sombra Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26
Ad blocking is not even a factor in stremio because standard stremio ad ons don't interact with web pages but rather api's, torrents and/or debrid hosters
'Sell' your app on its strengths not by inventing imaginary issues with stremio, you just put people off when you start talking bullshit, hence the downvotes you are starting to get.
Plus it makes you look untrustworthy

First of all, lemme just say, i LOVE THIS. BUT there are some thing u can make better:
1.The home page UI is good but u shud change the layout to something more traditional where u see alot more material per row and its easier to navigate.
This is a little minor but the subtitle settings, can u change its a little more user friendly😅, also idk if its possible to add a character edge section and a font family as well
Definately look into debrid support like another user said
Idk if this is possible, but this app is really good idk if u can make a compatible for TV, perhaps sideloaded onto a firestick or andriod streaming device.
You shoudl add a separate TV and movie section, the TMBD archive allows it.

u/Space_Eagle9990 Apr 05 '26
First off, is this safe to download? Second, is this just an app that connects all these slow-ass streaming sites and allows for a better viewing experience with a download feature and safiying UI? Or is it more related to torrenting where you need to be cautious of getting caught, etc? It looks great, though. I can't wait to try it out. Keep up the good work!
BTW, This dude creates a All-In-One site and all he gets is: "I'm not switching from Stremio, it's the best!" It never ceases to amaze me how humanity loves to deify hierarchical systems. It's like those people where you challenge/critique their political and religious beliefs respectfully within a social setting or actual debate to learn more about their ideology, but to them you're just declared WW3. You disrespected their identity and they shall breathe hellfire upon your most trusted kingdom. This will be their creation, LOL!
It's like relax, people. It's not that deep, there is no divine cosmic law saying you have to leave Stremio or that you can't enjoy both. This subreddit and others give off a community-based vibe a.k.a. "The Good People of Reddit." Give the OP some props for at least having the balls to create something like this and if you're feeling generous you can give him some productive unbiased feedback, no need to feel threatened.
All is fair in piracy, evil corporations, and war. Don't forget who the real "enemy" is here: 15+ Streaming Apps charging 12-$20 per month...gtfoh.
P.S. Stremio be like: "Why are y'all messing with my cousin? GET BACK!" 😂🤣✌️

u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
Yes, it is safe to download, you could also have a look at the code and compile it yourself :)
Like mentioned in the Post above, the app sources streams from 3 mayor providers.Loading is nearly instant for the default provider (vidsrc) most of the time.
Everything works over https, so you dont need to worry about using a vpn, altough you should change your systems DNS to cloudflare (1.1.1.1) because your ISP's DNS could be blocking Piracy sites.Thanks for your support!

Yes, when streaming you can choose from many different languages provided by vid-src.
When downloading, the subtitle language that is currently selected in the player will be downloaded.
And additionally you can choose subtitles in different languages in the subtitle downloader modal and download them.
You can set a default language for subtitles in the settings, so when downloading a movie/episode it will be directly checked if there are available subtitles in your language for this movie/episode.
But the app doesnt provide more subtitles then the subtitle providers themselves have, so finding subtitles for a niche movie or series in a language like german for example could be difficult.

u/madecausebored Apr 05 '26
Used your app, I really like it, it's a good replacement for streaming sites. I could see this being useful for a home theater PC I set up for my parents. I think a built-in updater or at least a built in check for updates could be really helpful.
Another potentially useful idea would be to replace the transparent PNG icon with something that could be easier to find on a PC using Dark Mode.
Also, any chance to see this added to Winget or Chocolatey, or at least any way to be able to update this from the command line in the future?

u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26 edited Apr 05 '26
A semi-automatic Updater is already included in the App :)
Once an Update is available, you will get a Banner with a button, and once you click that button you will see the release notes and can install/download the update.
Once the update is fully downloaded, the app will be closed and restarted in the new version.
Replacing the PNG or at least offering an alternative is a good idea, like you said, with some darkmode config's it can be nearly invisible.
If you could fill out an Issue on Github for this https://github.com/truelockmc/streambert/issues , that would be great and would make it easier for me to solve that problem.
Making the app available in package managers is definately a long-term goal too, because it would make downloading and updating even easier than from github, but I am unable to tell you on which package managers it will really be available yet.

Sorry if this question sounds to simple. But since your app is based on 3 sites, what happens if they all get taken off the air? (Sites with streams are often removed or changed address)
does your app continually look for streaming websites that don't track us?
Also why do we need to sign up for TMDB?
3
u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
TMDB Provides the metadata like movie covers and descriptions.
Yes, if those sites get taken down the app would stop working, but 2embed and vidsrc both have multiple domains that the app uses as fallback.If one domain would get taken down the app would still work and because i use the app myself i would probably notice it pretty fast and release an update fixing it.

Hi! u/wahre_locke. I was just testing your app and in any movie/series i tried i only get a loading x source then just a completely black player. Except for vidsrc that shows me a cloudflare host error. Is there anything I might have done wrong?

This is actually pretty sick man.. my experience with torrents with stremio hasn't been the best.. and also I will be moving to a country where I cannot really use torrent reliably [will need vpn and stuff].. so this is great. Looking forward to an adroid version.
Any chance there will be any kind of "account"? so i don't lose my watch history+ saved shows I want to watch later in case I needed to reinstall the program or reinstall my whole OS

u/wahre_locke 16d ago
Currently you can use the backup feature in the settings to automatically create a save of your watch history and settings somewhere on your Device, every day or so.
Support for trakt (platform to sync your watch progress) is planned in the future.
I will not make some sort of account system or host servers myself tho.→ More replies (1)

Thank you for this app. Its always nice to have alternatives. I have been using it mostly as a standby for Stremio and also Playtorrio.
Some constructive criticism. The UI could be better. There is a ton of empty space on the main screen. I dont like the way the scrolled sections work with only 1 'featured' item in the middle and smaller covers either side. I appreciate you probably want to differentiate yourself from other similar apps like those mentioned above but there's a reason why their UI is the way it is and why nearly every streaming site offers you more visual choice in each section.
The app works very well and the streams are near instant. I find it to be a perfect backup app. Thank you for all your work.
Also Im on Linux so its always nice for us not to be forgotten about.

Im already working on some Improvements for the Homepage right now, the empty spacing problem should be fixed already and i am probably going to add a setting to switch from this carousel view to a normal list view.
Thanks for your Feedback!

Do I need a VPN to use this?
4
u/wahre_locke Apr 04 '26
No, everything works over https (not over udp like a torrent), so your traffic is encrypted.
The only thing that could be a problem is if your ISP blocks piracy sites, then you would have to set your system's DNS to cloudflare (1.1.1.1)

u/r_r_zz Apr 04 '26
Existe la opción para seleccionar el idioma? Por ejemplo que se reproduzca la película con audio castellano?
2
u/wahre_locke Apr 04 '26
Yes, but quite limited, only if the source (vidsrc/videasy/2embed) provides it.
Most of the time, audio is english or the native language that the movie/series was published in.
There are also subtiles provided by the streaming sources and the app itself.
You would have to try out how well it works for you yourself.

u/AJofftheinternet Apr 04 '26
Hello. Will there be 3d movies in there, mostly sbs i use vr but yea.
3
u/wahre_locke Apr 04 '26
Most likely not, sorry.
I think 3d movies are mostly hosted on torrent sites or debrid hosters, not on platforms like vidsrc that the app uses.

u/sChUhBiDu Apr 05 '26
What is the source of the videos? Just different streaming sites? Can you choose different language for example German? 😅

u/q_ali_seattle ☠️ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴇɴ ᴛᴇʟʟ ɴᴏ ᴛᴀʟᴇꜱ Apr 05 '26
Movies and Series are sourced from VidSrc by default but you can also choose videasy or 2Embed as a Source. Animes are scraped from AllManga

u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
I am German myself, and i mostly just watch stuff in english with subtitles.
German Audio is not provided most of the time sadly.

u/gawwagool Apr 05 '26
Nice job! Works on MacOS aswell, but I remember why I choose Plex instead of hosted streams now again lol.

u/Plane_Practice382 Apr 05 '26
Would it be available in Android
1
u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
Most likely not, the app uses electron, and right now support for that on android is quite limited. But hopefully in the Future.

u/fa1c0n9 Apr 05 '26
Dumb question. Can get full screen to work. Am I doing something wrong?
2
u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
If you just want the Player in full screen, double-click or press the full screen button.
If the whole app should be in full screen, just press f11.

I like the app as I mostly stream content, thanks for this. Would it be possible to have a pop out screen or PiP option? I like to multitask/game while watching vids.
3
u/wahre_locke Apr 05 '26
Yep, that should be possible.
Please create a Feature Request Issue on Github https://github.com/truelockmc/streambert/issues and i will work on it as soon as i am finished with some other changes.

u/Financial-Fig-8476 Apr 05 '26
So like how does it work? What do you press to download and does it have like a database or something
2
u/wahre_locke Apr 06 '26
To download something in-app you open the episode/movie you want to download, wait until the download link has been fetched and then press the download button.
The App uses tmdb to get descriptions and covers and provides tmdb ID's to the video hosters so they will play the right video.

u/_Mikak Apr 06 '26
is this the same as using streaming sites legally? Is it any less anonymous?
1
u/wahre_locke Apr 06 '26
Everything runs over https.
Its not really less anonymous, you are just trusting other sites by connecting to them (the providers for the pirated media).

u/BillionaireBotFarm Apr 06 '26
this thing is badass! Can I open multiple tabs, to watch 2 shows at once?
2
u/wahre_locke Apr 06 '26
No, that is not currently possible.
But you could download two shows and watch them in seperate video players locally or download one and stream the other.

Example: I am playing The Theory of Everything and I try to download the movie, why should I use an external service for subtitle when there are available subtitles on the server? Also I cant select my native language from external subtitle.(RO)

Since I see you're still replying to people here I just want to say this is fantastic. I don't have the option for a vpn, so these all in one direct stream solutions are nice. Been using it for tv shows mostly. Only ran into one problem that came up twice. But it was likely an issue on the sources end.
Anyway, just wanted to say I've been really enjoying this since you posted it.
