Kodi

Free

The open-source media center that turns your TV into a home theater

Open Source No Ads No Tracking Offline No Sign-up Cross-platform

Organize local and network movies, music, photos and live TV into a beautiful theater interface, with artwork scraping, remote control and a huge add-on and skin ecosystem — fully free with no ads.

Why we picked it

Formerly XBMC, Kodi is a long-standing home theater application. Install it on a TV box or HTPC and your local and network media becomes a polished theater interface with posters, cast info and season sorting, all drivable from the couch with a remote. A powerful skin engine and community add-ons let you customize freely.

Maintained by the non-profit Kodi Foundation and volunteers worldwide, it's fully open source, ad-free and non-tracking, spanning Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Just download from the official site and stick to trusted add-on sources.
