We're here when you need us.

A self-hosted media server for films, TV shows, documentaries and performances. You install it on a machine you own, point it at your folders, and watch from the native apps or the web client on your other devices. The library never has to leave your hardware, and it won't.

The pieces were built together, which should be obvious the first time you use them. The server on your machine, the account, the metadata, the client apps and the ways in from outside are one system, so they don't fight each other. Your media plays from your own machine first, and the paid cloud features can only add convenience and scale on top of that.

Films, TV shows, documentaries and performances are available now, and so is music, which arrived on Desktop and hosted Web with 1.2.0. Native clients play the original files; browser video uses HLS.

Yes. Every app starts by signing in to a free Quven Account, or creating one. After that you can pick a server it found on your network, connect to a remote server linked to the account, or finish setting up a new one.

Yes. Playing your own library is free for home use, and that's the native clients, hardware transcoding, matching, several files per title, unlimited profiles and any remote access you set up yourself. Pro adds the managed relay, the hosted web client, a game controller on the Windows desktop and a subtitle the server will write from the audio. The plans page names the floor that never moves, so you can hold us to it.

Pro adds remote access with nothing to configure, the hosted web client, managed AI matching, a cloud backup of your metadata, a game controller on the Windows desktop, and a subtitle written from the audio of a film that carries none. Max adds the cue editor and AI subtitle translation on demand, and you can use both today, with HDHomeRun/EPG live TV, scheduled recordings and supported theme presets coming in later releases. Playing what you own stays free. You'll find what each tier includes on the plans page.

Every increase is published in advance: through 6 October 2026: Pro €2.99 a month or €29.99 a year, Max €5.99 a month or €59.99 a year; from 7 October 2026 through 15 November 2026: Pro €3.49 a month or €34.99 a year, Max €6.99 a month or €69.99 a year; from 16 November 2026 through 31 December 2026: Pro €3.99 a month or €39.99 a year, Max €7.99 a month or €79.99 a year; from 1 January 2027: Pro €4.99 a month or €49.99 a year, Max €9.99 a month or €99.99 a year. If you would rather pay once, Lifetime Max is €99 through 6 October 2026, then €129 through 15 November 2026, then €149 through 31 December 2026, then €199 through 30 June 2027. Its next price after 30 June 2027 has not been announced. In the United States, the same figures are charged in dollars. Every Founder seat is taken, so the €69 Founder price is closed to new accounts; the hundred that hold it still do. Purchases open on 21 September 2026. Newsletter subscribers can receive 5% off Lifetime or 3% off one annual purchase at the current full price. Discounts cannot be combined.

The floor never moves. Direct play, hardware transcoding, the native apps, subtitles and burn-in, simultaneous streams, quality, updates, no ads, and remote access you run yourself are free for good, and the plans page lists them so you can hold us to it. Outside that list it has happened twice. Driving the desktop with a game controller shipped free in 1.1.14 and moved to Pro with 1.2.0, and in between it wasn't named on any pricing page, which is the part we shouldn't have let happen. Writing a subtitle from the audio moved with the same release, and both are named on the plans page now. A transcript your server has already written stays yours to play on any plan.

No. One Quven Account covers the whole household, with unlimited profiles and every linked server. There are no per-seat fees, no device limits and no DRM, and there won't be.

There are two installers. Server + Desktop puts the server and the native desktop app on the same machine, which is the fastest way to a working setup. Server only installs just the server, for a machine that should stay on. Web access runs from app.quven.tv over the managed relay, which needs Pro. The Android and iPhone/iPad apps come from their stores, so you should look there; the desktop installer doesn't carry them.

The Windows and macOS desktop clients, the hosted Pro web client, the native iPhone and iPad app and the native Android app for phone, tablet and Android TV are available today. macOS ships signed and notarized for Intel and Apple silicon, while Linux v1 is server-only for x64 and ARM64, as an AppImage or a signed Docker image, with ARM64 verified on a Raspberry Pi 4; its desktop client is planned after v1. One Google Play listing covers all three Android form factors. The same ten-foot build is verified on Fire TV and reaches the Amazon Appstore later; the Apple TV app follows after launch, with Smart TV wrappers after it.

No. Everything you need is in the installer. Install Quven and you're set.

Yes. The official Linux Server-only image is signed, ships with SPDX SBOM attestations, and runs on AMD64 and ARM64. Use the versioned Compose bundle, so an upgrade can only happen when you ask for one.

Your media files stay on your hardware. Quven Account holds your identity, the list of linked servers, and profile data like watchlists, ratings, reviews and resume points, so they'll survive a reinstall and follow you from one server to another. The relay, managed AI and subtitle translation (Max) will say so clearly whenever they send anything extra. For translation, only the finished subtitle text goes out. The audio never does.

Two ways. Doing it yourself, with your own port forward, reverse proxy or Tailscale, is free. The managed relay, which needs Pro, routes through our servers so you can reach yours through NAT and CGNAT without configuring anything.
