Stremio v5 MacOS Release! (with ARM support)
Posted on November 27, 2025 by Alex
We just released Stremio v5 for MacOS with separate ARM and Intel support!
We have been working on this for a very long time… and it’s finally here!
You can download it now from our downloads page. (use this link to bypass caching until it expires)
In a strange twist of events, we also released Stremio Lite for MacOS TestFlight for Intel today. (it was only available for ARM devices before) Stremio Lite is a more limited version compared to Stremio v5 as it does not include a server (so it can’t play torrents, usenet, etc) and only supports HTTP(S) streams unless you attach a server to it, by installing Stremio Service separately on the device. You can join the TestFlight by going to this link then installing the TestFlight app from the MacOS app store.
If you encounter any issues with the newly released Stremio v5 for MacOS or with Stremio Lite MacOS TestFlight please report them to this link: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-bugs/issues
This update is part of the Stremio November Mega Update.
Stay tuned as we have more surprises for our users in 2025!
Stremio 5 Released for Windows!
Posted on December 23, 2024 by Alex
We have been working on this for a very long time. Today we are honored to present to you Stremio 5 (currently only for Windows).
While the UI may look very similar as the design was mostly kept, Stremio 5 is actually using Stremio Web for its internal UI, which means it has been completely rewritten from the ground up compared to the Stremio 4 UI.
But with Stremio 5 we didn’t want to just rewrite the UI with better technologies, we also wanted peak performance. With that in mind we completely rebuilt the shell also, using the best tech stack to provide a much faster experience that uses significantly less resources than Stremio 4.
The current release was tailor built for Windows to be as performant as it can be, and we will look at each OS individually to build the best performant app we can for them, so please be patient as we work on making the MacOS and Linux versions available too.
With that said we really wanted our users to be able to experience Stremio 5 this Christmas, so this is our gift to you!
