SkyStream

⚠️ Warning: By default, this app doesn't provide any video sources; you have to install extensions to add functionality to the app.

A new, cross-platform media streaming application inspired by CloudStream.

Note: This project is an independent application built with Flutter. While it supports similar extension formats, it is a simplified, modern re-imagining and is not a direct clone or fork of the official client.

Please don't create illegal extensions or use any that host any copyrighted media. This project does not condone copyright infringement.

FAQ

How do I install extensions?

SkyStream uses `.sky` or `.js` extension files. You can install them by navigating to Settings > Extensions > Add Repository and entering a repository URL (e.g., using a shortcode).

Where is the media stored?

SkyStream is a streaming client and does not host any content. All media is streamed directly from the third-party extensions you install.
