A multi-platform Twitch.tv desktop browser built on NW.js that acts as a graphical front-end for the Streamlink CLI. It lets users browse streams and watch them in the video player of their choice instead of the resource-heavy Twitch web player.
Use cases
- watch twitch streams without the browser
- watch multiple twitch streams at once
- reduce cpu usage when watching twitch
- browse twitch streams by game or channel
- get desktop notifications when followed channels go live
- watch twitch in mpv or vlc via streamlink
When to choose
- you want smooth Twitch playback in a native video player instead of the browser
- you want to watch several streams simultaneously
- you want Twitch chat, notifications, and browsing outside the browser
- you already use Streamlink and want a GUI for it
When to avoid
- you need a project under active development - its status is in question per issue #1045
- you only watch Twitch in a web browser and are happy with it
- you need a mobile or TV app - it is desktop only
