VortX

Everything. VortXed.
Video, Audio, Live TV. Native on every screen.

Latest release Downloads License Platforms


Apple pulled Stremio from the App Store. The official answer was sideloadable IPAs, but on Apple TV the only option is "Stremio Lite," which is deliberately feature limited. VortX closes that gap: a fully native Apple TV client on the same Rust engine the official apps use, with an iPhone and iPad build alongside it.

It is not a replacement for the official apps, it is not affiliated with anyone, and it bundles no content and no add-ons. You sign in with your own account and bring your own add-ons.

A look at it

The home screen, with your real Continue Watching and every catalog from your add-ons. Whichever title you focus fills the screen with its artwork, and the focused card carries a soft glow in your accent color.

Home

Full-bleed movie and series pages, with Watch Now ranking every source as your add-ons answer.

Streams

A native libmpv player with real HDR and Dolby Vision output, skip intro and credits, stall recovery, and a stream link you can send to your phone as a QR code.

The short version of what you get

  • Native on the real engine. No WebKit on tvOS, so the Apple TV app is fully native SwiftUI on stremio-core compiled straight in. Your catalogs, library, and Continue Watching come out right because the real engine builds them.
  • The codecs actually work. TrueHD and Atmos, DTS-HD MA, EAC3, 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision all play through libmpv, with real HDR and Dolby Vision output to your TV.
  • Sources ranked for you. Watch Now ranks every source from every add-on and plays the best with one press, with a two-level quality picker and a full labeled list one button away.
  • Torrents and debrid. The Full build streams torrents through an embedded server; debrid and direct links play on both builds.
  • Free profiles. A "Who's watching?" picker, per-profile themes and history, an optional PIN, and optionally a separate account per profile.
  • Seamless binge. The next episode is fetched, ranked, and warmed up before the credits, locked to the same release group so quality never jumps mid-season.

The complete list is on Features.
