A GERMAN DEV KILLED THE STREAMING SUBSCRIPTION.
It's called Streambert. One desktop app that streams and downloads any movie, TV series, or anime in the world. Zero ads. Zero trackers.
No browser. No popups. No "are you still watching." It does what Netflix ($15.49/mo), Disney+ ($9.99/mo), and Max ($16.99/mo) do combined, except it runs as a real app on your machine and pulls everything into one clean interface.
Streaming subscriptions vs Streambert:
- Price: $50+ a month across Netflix, Disney, Max → $0
- Ads: Baked into the cheaper tiers → None, ever
- Tracking: Every click logged and sold → Zero trackers
- Library splits: One show here, one show there → Everything in one app
- Works on: Locked to their apps → Windows, Mac, and Linux
The download part is what makes it different from a browser.
→ Multithreaded downloads, so a full movie pulls way faster than a single browser stream
→ Saved as real files on your drive, watch them offline, move them to any USB or hard drive
→ Built-in subtitle downloader, grab and manage subs in any language
→ A library that tracks what you watched and saves what you want to watch next
→ Anime gets its own pipeline, metadata from AniList, files pulled straight as mp4
Setup is one free TMDB API key, entered once, saved locally. Prebuilt installers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. No build step needed.
802 stars. 17 releases. 278 commits. Still actively shipping.
One honest note: the license is GPL-3.0, fully open source. But Streambert doesn't host anything itself, it scrapes streams from third-party sites. The dev is upfront about this in the README and says it's for personal use only. Check what's legal where you live before you use it.
