Your library,premium on every screen.
Quven is a self-hosted media server for your movies, shows and documentaries — built native-first across desktop and native mobile, with a premium web client as your universal fallback. Your media, on your hardware, served the way you set it up.
- No ads or cross-site tracking
- Free for home use
- Unlimited household profiles
- Desktop, web & native mobile apps
Think of it as a complete, self-hosted media platform: unified server, native desktop and mobile clients, and web fallback in one product.
Everything a serious library needs
Full-fidelity playback, a catalogue that understands itself, and premium clients on every screen — without giving up control of your media.
Direct play, untouched
When a client can demux the source, Quven streams the original file as-is — no transcode, no quality loss, no fans spinning up.
Hardware transcoding
When a device can't decode natively, the server transcodes on the fly with auto-detected acceleration: NVENC, Quick Sync, CUDA, VideoToolbox.
Many files, one title
A 4K rip and a 1080p remux of the same film live under one entry; a Sources picker chooses the variant when you press play.
Automatic matching
Metadata matched against TMDb, coping with release-scene naming in five languages, year-mismatch recovery and leet-substitution repair.
Exclusive iPhone & iPad
A SwiftUI client built for Apple devices: dynamic iPad layouts, pointer-aware controls, keyboard shortcuts, widgets, PiP, AirPlay handoff and native sheets.
Runs on your hardware
Your media files never leave your machine for local playback. Profile data syncs through Quven so reinstalling a server doesn't erase it.
The hard parts of playback, done on purpose.
Browsers do a lot in 2026, but the native clients can use the strongest playback path each device supports: desktop and TV-class outputs handle receiver chains, while phone and tablet clients focus on libmpv format, subtitle and HDR coverage.
- Direct play with zero transcode when the chosen client can decode
- HD audio served untouched on desktop and TV-class output paths
- HDR10 & Dolby Vision handled according to the device display
- Styled ASS, PGS and VobSub subtitles on native playback paths
Same library, the right path for each device — chosen automatically.
One server, every screen you own.
Native desktop apps, a premium web client, the native Android phone/tablet app and an exclusive Apple-native iPhone/iPad experience — all from one self-hosted server.
Where Quven fits
Full ownership on your hardware, native-first playback, and pricing that follows real cloud cost.
Your server, your network
You can stream from home or outside on your own network setup for free. Paid cloud relay is optional and only for zero-config remote convenience.
Native-first playback
The experience is optimized around native clients for full fidelity and hardware decoding, with the web app as a polished fallback when needed.
