We're here when you need us.

A self-hosted media server for your movies, TV shows and documentaries. You install it on a machine you own, point it at your folders, and stream to native and web clients on your other devices. Your library lives on your hardware.

Quven is an integrated platform: your self-hosted server, cloud account, metadata, client apps and remote-access paths are designed as one system. Your media runs from your machine first; paid cloud features are limited to convenience and scale.

Movies, TV shows and documentaries in v1. Music and photos come later. Native clients play at full fidelity; browsers get a server-transcoded HLS stream.

Yes. Every app starts with a free Quven Account sign-in or registration. After that you choose a server discovered on your LAN, connect to a remote server linked to your account, or finish setting up a new self-hosted server.

Yes — the free tier is the complete local self-hosted experience for home use, including native clients, hardware transcoding and do-it-yourself remote access. The hosted web client and managed relay require Pro; other paid features run on Quven's cloud and carry an ongoing cost.

Things that genuinely cost us to run: the managed remote-access relay, managed AI matching, cloud metadata backup, and on-demand subtitle translation (Max, activates at v1.4), plus power tools like DVR and a subtitle editor. Anything that runs purely on your own hardware stays free.

No. What ships free stays free. We decide whether something is free or paid before it ships, and we don't take it back.

No. One Quven Account covers the household, unlimited profiles and every linked server. No per-seat fees, no device limits, no DRM.

Two installers. Server + Desktop puts the server and the native desktop app on one machine — the fastest way to a working setup. Server only installs just the server, for a NAS or an always-on box. Web access runs from app.quven.tv over the managed relay (Pro), and the native Android and iPhone/iPad apps arrive through their stores, not through the desktop installer.

The Windows and macOS desktop clients and hosted Pro web client are available today. macOS ships signed and notarized for Intel and Apple silicon, while Linux v1 is server-only for x64 and ARM64; ARM64 is released without a native hardware test. Its desktop client is planned after v1. Native Android and iPhone/iPad clients remain in launch preparation, with their Play closed-test/production-access and App Store distribution gates still open; native TV clients follow in v1.1 and Smart TV wrappers in v1.2.

No. Everything is included — install Quven and you're set.

Your media files stay on your hardware. Quven Account stores identity, linked servers and profile data such as watchlists, ratings, reviews and resume points so they survive reinstalls and follow you between servers. Relay, managed AI and subtitle translation (Max, activates at v1.4) are clearly marked when they send additional data.

Two ways. Self-hosted DIY — your own port-forward, reverse proxy or Tailscale — is free. The managed relay (Pro) routes through our servers so you reach yours through NAT and CGNAT with zero configuration.
