## What is Flexarr?

Your entertainment, every screen.

Flexarr is your own streaming service. It brings your movies, TV shows, music, podcasts and live TV together in one beautiful app, streamed from your own server to your iPhone and iPad. It feels like the streaming services you know, except everything in it is yours.

Free, with every feature included: no ads, no account, no subscription and nothing locked behind a paywall. A small download, under 30 MB.

WATCH
• A home screen that's yours: Continue Watching, Top 10s, new arrivals and "Because you watched", in the order you choose
• Rich pages for every movie and show, with artwork, cast, seasons and what's next
• Flexarr's own player: skip intros, recaps and credits, scrubbing previews, and the next episode at the end
• Plays your files as they are, with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and Dolby Atmos where your device supports them
• Subtitles and audio in every language your files have, and your choice sticks for the show
• Picture in Picture, AirPlay, and controls on the Lock Screen

LIVE TV AND DVR
• Live channels from your own tuner or IPTV service, with a full programme guide
• Pause and rewind live TV
• Record a programme or a whole series, and watch recordings on any device

LISTEN
• Music like a streaming app: queue, playlists, synced lyrics, daily mixes and artist radio
• Gapless playback, crossfade and volume leveling
• Podcasts built in: follow any show, with Up Next, speeds, a sleep timer and new-episode alerts
• Bring your podcasts over from other apps with OPML import

TAKE IT WITH YOU
• Download movies, episodes, albums, playlists and podcast episodes for the plane or the subway
• The newest episodes of the shows you follow can download by themselves on Wi-Fi
• Pick up on any device exactly where you left off
• At home or away: Flexarr finds your server on your network, and over Tailscale when you're out

FOR EVERYONE AT HOME
• Profiles with their own history, Continue Watching and libraries, with an optional PIN
• Widgets for Continue listening and Up Next
• Siri: "Play the next episode of Ted Lasso in Flexarr"

FREE AND PRIVATE
• Free, with every feature included. No premium tier, no in-app purchases
• No account to create: sign in to your own server, nothing else
• The source code is public, so anyone can see exactly what it does
• No ads, no analytics and no tracking. Crash reports only if your server's owner turns them on

YOUR SERVER, YOUR RULES
Flexarr plays from your own Flexarr server, which is free and runs on a Mac, Windows or Linux PC, NAS or Docker. It works with the media you already have, and with Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr if you use them. Nothing you watch leaves your home.

Setting up your server takes about a minute at flexarr.io. Then the app finds it on your Wi-Fi and connects with a short code: no keys to type.
