Getting started

VortX is a fast, native, open-source streaming client. It is built on the open stremio-core engine and a real libmpv player, with no web wrapper. You bring your own add-ons and sources; VortX hosts, indexes, and streams nothing.

Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and Mac ship today. Android, Windows, Linux, and Google TV are in active development on the same shared engine.

Install on Apple

The Apple builds are unsigned for sideloading. Grab the latest build from the GitHub releases page.

• iPhone and iPad: install the .ipa with a sideloading tool such as AltStore or Sideloadly, or your own signing setup. Re-signing periodically keeps it installed.
• Apple TV: sideload the tvOS build from a Mac with Xcode (Window, Devices and Simulators), or your preferred tvOS sideload flow. There are two Apple TV builds: the full build (streams torrents through an in-app server) and a Lite build (no server, debrid and direct links only).
• Mac: open the .dmg and drag VortX to Applications. The Mac build runs a small standalone streaming helper for torrents.

First run

1. Open VortX. You can start browsing immediately, no account is required.
2. Add an add-on (see Add-ons) to get catalogs and sources.
3. Pick a title, choose a source, and play.

Optional: a VortX account

A free, end-to-end-encrypted VortX account keeps your profiles, settings, and library safe and lets them travel between devices. It is entirely optional, VortX works fully without one.
