Streamr questions, answered.

Streamr costs $29 a year. That one plan includes every feature and every update while you’re subscribed, on up to 10 devices — less than $2.50 a month.

Every Mac gets a 7-day trial that starts the first time you open Streamr — no account, no email, no card. Each device gets its own trial, so you can try it on the Mac you actually watch on. Reinstalling the app doesn’t restart it.

Everything. There’s one plan: Live TV, the TV guide with catch-up, Sports, Movies and Series, My Lists, content filters and parental controls, the mpv player, playlist sync, every update while you’re subscribed, and up to 10 devices on one account.

No. Streamr has a single yearly plan at $29 a year, which works out to less than $2.50 a month.

Yes, in two clicks from your account page. Streamr keeps working until the end of the year you’ve paid for, and you can resume before then if you change your mind.

Streamr asks you to sign in and subscribe. Sign in with your email address (Streamr emails you a 6-digit code), subscribe on the website, and the app unlocks on that Mac. Your playlists and settings stay where they are.

Each device you sign in on takes one of your 10 seats. Sold a Mac or ran out of seats? Remove a device from your account page and the seat opens up again immediately.

Not for the trial. To subscribe, you sign in with just your email address: the app takes a 6-digit code and the website takes a one-click link from the same email. There’s no password to remember.

Yes. Sign in and your Xtream Codes logins and M3U links follow you to every device, and you can manage them on this website. Passwords are encrypted at rest. Playlists added from a file stay on the Mac they came from; only their names sync.

Yes. Favorite movies and series and your custom channel lists follow your account to every Mac. Edits made on different Macs, even offline, are merged instead of overwritten.

No. Streamr is a player for the playlist you already have from your TV provider, in Xtream Codes or M3U format. It doesn’t sell or include channels, movies, series or playlists.

Streamr supports Xtream Codes logins (server, username and password), M3U and M3U8 playlist links, and M3U files saved on your Mac. Xtream Codes gives the richest experience: posters, plots, season lists and catch-up. See adding Xtream Codes and adding an M3U playlist.

From your TV provider, usually in the welcome email they sent when you signed up with them. Streamr doesn’t provide logins or playlists.

Yes. Streamr loads your provider’s guide automatically and shows it as a full grid with catch-up on archive channels. You can also add a custom XMLTV URL, shift programme times and set how often it refreshes.

Nothing. Streams play directly from your provider to your Mac and never pass through our servers. Your account holds your email, your devices and the playlists you sync. Devices are identified by a one-way hash; your Mac’s hardware address never leaves it.

On your Mac, in the macOS Keychain. If you’re signed in, synced playlist passwords are also stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) on our server and are only ever returned to you.

A Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later — Apple silicon or Intel — and a playlist from your TV provider.

No. You download Streamr from this website. The app is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally, and it keeps itself up to date.

Not today. Streamr is a native Mac app.

You don’t have to: Streamr checks for new versions on launch and every few hours, and asks before installing. To check right away, choose Streamr › Check for Updates…. See the release notes for what changed.
