Streambert is a desktop application that lets you stream and download movies, TV series, and anime without ads or tracking. You install it on your computer and use it like a personal media player, but instead of storing content locally, it pulls video streams from third-party sources on the internet. The app pulls video stream links from sources like VidSrc, and fetches metadata, titles, descriptions, images, from TMDB (The Movie Database, a popular film data service). For anime specifically, it sources metadata from AniList and fetches video files from a separate anime provider. Downloads work by grabbing the underlying playlist file that the video stream uses, then saving the full video to your device. Subtitles can also be downloaded and managed inside the app. Built with Electron (a framework that turns web code into a desktop app) and JavaScript, it runs as a native application. It includes a personal library so you can track what you have watched and manage downloads, plus a trending section to discover new content daily. The interface is customizable. To use it, you download a prebuilt installer for your operating system or build it from source. A free TMDB API key is required on first launch, the README includes a guide for obtaining one. The app itself does not host any content, it acts purely as an aggregator that finds and plays video streams from other websites. The developer includes a legal disclaimer noting it is intended for educational and personal use only, and that users are responsible for ensuring they have legal rights to access any content they stream or download.
