Built so your library stays yours.
Quven is a self-hosted media server for people who want their movies, shows and documentaries to feel polished without handing control to anyone else.
Why Quven exists
Quven started from a simple frustration: enjoying your own movie and TV collection had turned into a tangle of subscriptions, paywalls and compromises. Either you paid to reach your own files, or you assembled a free stack yourself and maintained it forever.
Quven draws the line at operating cost: your files stay on hardware you own, the native experience comes first, and local home use stays free. The only things behind a paywall are cloud features that cost money to operate.
Server, account, profiles and clients are designed together, so it feels like a product instead of a stack to maintain. No ads, no behavioural or cross-site tracking, no lock-in.
What it stands for
The principles that decide what Quven does, and what it refuses to do.
Your media stays yours
It lives on hardware you own and streams from your machine. No uploads, no mirroring, no one else holding your library.
Native quality, not compromise
Full-fidelity playback is the point, not an afterthought — the native clients carry the hard parts so the toughest media just plays.
Free for home use
The complete local experience is free for home use. Only cloud features with a real running cost are paid — and never retroactively.
Integrated, not assembled
Server, account, profiles and clients are designed together, so it feels like a finished product instead of a stack you maintain.
No data business
No ads, no behavioural tracking, no DRM and no lock-in. The product is the software, not your data.
Bring your library home.
Free for home use and yours to run on your own hardware. Install it in minutes.
