About

What is Quven?

Quven is a self-hosted media server for films, series, music and books. Point it at the folders where your collection already lives and it identifies each title and remembers where every profile stopped, so the library looks finished the first time you open it. Playback comes first. The desktop app for Windows and macOS plays the original file whenever it can, and when a phone or a television can't read a format the server converts just that file, on the machine's graphics hardware if it has any. The mobile and TV apps run on Android and iOS. Linux and Docker run the server alone. Do you have to pay? No. It's free for personal use, with no ads and no time limit, and you can add a Pro or Max plan later if you'd like managed remote access.
