Bring your own streams

Stream video straight from a magnet link.

Linkstreams plays video straight off the BitTorrent network, fetching pieces as you watch instead of waiting for a full download. You bring the list yourself, from a Pastebin paste. Nothing ships inside the app: no catalog, no account, no backend.

100% free No account No tracking No backend

On Smart TV, Fire TV and Android today. Desktop and mobile are on the way.

Three steps to streaming

No setup, no sign-up. The app starts empty and you decide what goes in.

1

Add a repo

A repo is your own list of magnet links, packed into a single Pastebin paste you build for free with RepoCreator. Add its key and the app pulls it in.

2

Pick a title

Linkstreams reads the list and pulls the title, season and episode, and year out of each magnet name. Next to every entry you get a live seed-health reading.

3

Stream instantly

Playback starts almost right away. Linkstreams pulls the pieces it needs in order, in the background, so there’s never a full download sitting on your disk.

Build your repo with RepoCreator

RepoCreator is a free browser tool that turns your titles, links and folders into a ready-to-paste repo. No install, no account, and nothing leaves your device.

1

Open RepoCreator

Give your repo a title, then add links and folders. Every link is a magnet URI, the kind that starts with magnet:?xt=urn:btih:.

2

Save repo to clipboard

Hit Save repo to clipboard. RepoCreator packs the whole repo into a single block of text and copies it for you.

3

Paste it and add the key

Create a new paste on pastebin.com with that text as the body, set the syntax to Plain Text and keep it Unlisted. Copy the short code from the URL and add it in Linkstreams.

What Linkstreams does

A focused player, built for the living room.

No full download

It fetches pieces in playback order and only grabs what you’re about to watch. You start in seconds, not after the whole file lands on disk.

Built-in player

Playback runs on media_kit with hardware decoding and wide codec support, HEVC 10-bit included. You don’t need to install a separate player.

Seed health at a glance

Every title shows how well it’s seeded, live. You can see what will play smoothly before you press play.

TV-first & remote-friendly

Everything works from a D-pad, with focus highlights you can actually see. Tuned for Fire TV and Android TV.

Fully private

No analytics, no telemetry, nothing phoning home. Your repos, watch history and settings stay on your device.

100% free, no account, no backend

No fees, no subscription, no sign-up. There’s no server running the show, so nothing to log into and nothing to pay for.

A tool, not a catalog

Linkstreams ships no content of its own and runs no index. Like any torrent client, it’s a neutral tool, and which magnet links you load is on you. Read the Terms of Use →

Frequently asked questions

Is Linkstreams legal?
The app itself is a neutral media player and network tool, much like a torrent client or a web browser. Whether a given use is legal depends on what you stream and the laws where you live. Stream only what you’re allowed to access.
Does the app come with content?
No. It starts completely empty. There’s no catalog and nothing preinstalled, so you bring your own magnet lists through a Pastebin repo.
What is a “repo”?
A repo is an unlisted or public Pastebin paste whose body is the text block exported by RepoCreator. You add its key in the app, and Linkstreams decodes it back into your titles, links and folders. Hosting one costs nothing, and you can share it with a short code.
Can others see my IP address?
BitTorrent is peer-to-peer, so other people in the same swarm can see your IP address, the same as with any torrent client. If that bothers you, run a trusted VPN. Linkstreams itself collects nothing.
Which devices are supported?
Right now the focus is Smart TV (Fire TV and Android TV) and Android. Because it’s built on Flutter, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and the web are all on the table, and they’ll follow.
Does Linkstreams cost anything?
No. No fees, no subscription, no sign-up, nothing to cancel.
